Wicked - LON [313]  Product Media

As Glinda descends from the rafters in her bubble, the audience cheers immediately. As Elphaba defies gravity as she flies over the stage, the audience gasps with disbelief. It’s impossible not to be swept away in *Wicked*’s pure theatricality. More than 15 years after Wicked flew into the West End, the Olivier Award-winning musical is still an evening of sheer musical theatre bliss. 

Over 11 million people have visited the land of Oz across 6,000 performances and counting. The musical has won 13 awards, including the Olivier Award for Most Popular Show, and *Wicked* has become one of the most successful musicals of all time. Often when a show has been playing for a long time, it can lose some of the initial magic, but *Wicked* is still as lively and dynamic as ever.

Based on Gregory Maguire’s prequel novel of the same name, *Wicked* imagines an Oz before Dorothy followed the yellow brick road, one in which the “Wicked Witch” Elphaba and the “Good Witch” Galinda are roommates at school. *Wicked* is a story of an unlikely friendship and how the truth isn’t always what meets the eye. Add spine-tingling ballads, a dragon, and stage magic into the mix, and Wicked sets the bar for what musical theatre can be.

Winnie Holzman’s multilayered book peels back L. Frank Baum’s *The Wizard of Oz* to shine more light on what happens along the way. Every time you watch Wicked, you’ll hear a new line, or see a new character approach that uncovers more information; it’s no wonder that Wicked fans — Ozians — visit the land of Oz dozens of times to unpick the hidden truths about the lion, the scarecrow, and the tin man.

*Wicked* wouldn’t be complete without [Stephen Schwartz’s influential score](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatre-news/news/stephen-schwartz-musicals); and songs like “For Good” now transcend popular culture as pop stars, like Leann Rimes and Delta Goodrem, cover the iconic duet. But there’s no place like home, and that’s hearing Schwartz’s anthemic songs live, complete with a 23-piece orchestra. Pair Schwartz’s music with Wayne Cilento’s explosive choreography, especially in the show-stopping “Dancing Through Life” when the students go to their first dance, and Wicked is poetry in motion.

Eugene Lee’s intricate and moody scenic design extends into the auditorium, thanks to a giant smoking dragon and flying monkeys climbing up the walls. Kenneth Posner’s lighting design and Tony Meola’s sound design amplify the tension, especially when the animated wizard mask comes alive and the wizard’s booming voice reverberates around the auditorium. But there’s plenty of brightness too, especially in Susan Hilferty’s viridescent Ozian costumes and Galinda’s kaleidoscopic wardrobe.

Elphaba has become a coveted role for thousands of performers. From Idina Menzel winning the Tony Award for originating the role on Broadway to Kerry Ellis, Rachel Tucker, and Louise Dearman, each performer has put their own spin on the role and the iconic ballads: “The Wizard and I,” I’m Not That Girl,” “Defying Gravity,” and “No Good Deed”. Lucie Jones comes into her own as the green witch, deftly moving from frustration to sweetness to fury, as Elphaba navigates the world around her and quickly learns that not everyone means what they say. Helen Woolf is bubbly perfection as Glinda, with her sweet soprano and dry wit.

There’s something in *Wicked* for everyone. From the childlike wonder at the magical world of Oz to the political undertones about our leaders’ role in society to the universal message that true beauty lies within, *Wicked* leaves the audience with food for thought and also, wanting more. It’s no wonder that the musical has captured the hearts of so many over the years and will continue to do so for many years to come. *Wicked* is certainly here to stay in the West End for good. 

*Wicked is at the Apollo Victoria Theatre. Book Wicked tickets on London Theatre.*

What's left to be said about <a href="/show/hamilton">Hamilton</a>&nbsp;that's not already been said? One of the central questions the show asks is precisely who the storytellers are of our personal and collective histories: "Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story", as the final number asks of the life story the show has just relayed and replayed of Alexander Hamilton, one of the key players in defining and refining the American constitution. By the same token, who is now telling the stories about the show it comes from? And can and should you believe them, as it has become probably the most hyped Broadway import of the century so far?<a href="https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatre-news/interviews/ben-brantley-chief-theatre-critic-of-the-new-york-times">Ben Brantley</a>, chief theatre critic of the New York Times, declared in the opening sentence <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/07/theater/review-hamilton-young-rebels-changing-history-and-theater.html" target="_blank">of his review when the show transferred to Broadway</a> from Off-Broadway's Public Theatre in the summer of 2015, "Yes, it really is that good." He added, "I am loath to tell people to mortgage their houses and lease their children to acquire tickets to a hit Broadway show. But <a href="/show/hamilton">Hamilton</a>&nbsp;might just about be worth it — at least to anyone who wants proof that the American musical is not only surviving but also evolving in ways that should allow it to thrive and transmogrify in years to come."And now the show has arrived in London - its first appearance on non-US territory - and it's even more thrilling than I - already an avid fan who has seen it four times in New York - could hope for. Just as <a href="/show/les-miserables">Les Miserables</a> has proved to be a universal story, stretching far beyond its deeply etched story of revenge, retribution and revolution to speak to a human need for healing and forgiveness, so <a href="/show/hamilton">Hamilton</a>&nbsp;captures the heartbeat and heartbreak of a nation trying to find itself - and relates it directly to a pursuit it is still engaged in trying to define anew today, maybe especially today, in the age of the 45th President Donald Trump. "Immigrants, we get the job done" is a line that gets the biggest cheer of the night - and it's just as relevant in Brexit England as it is in Trump's America right now.

"I'm just like my country, I'm young, scrappy and hungry, and I am not throwing away my shot," sings <a href="/show/hamilton">Hamilton</a>, and the show - composed and written by <a href="/theatre-news/interviews/interview-with-hamiltons-lin-manuel-miranda">Lin-Manuel Miranda</a>, who also originally played the title role - is equally young, scrappy and hungry, and determined not to throw away its shot.There's absolutely no chance of that happening in the dynamic, propulsive staging of director Thomas Kail and choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler, or the extraordinarily talented British cast assembled to perform it here.This show may be about history, but it also makes history itself: not just in the freshness and vivacity of its rap-based score that could come from the charts today, but also in the colour-blind diversity of its cast. Recent RADA graduate Jamael Westman is a riveting presence in the title role, with Rachelle Ann Go (most recently as star of Miss Saigon in the West End and on Broadway) vocally thrilling as Hamilton's wife Eliza. There are also scene-stealing, hilarious performances from Michael Jibson as King George and Jason Pennycooke as the Marquis de Lafayette, with robust performances, too, from Giles Terera as Aaron Burr, Tarinn Calendar as James Madison and Obioma Ugoala as George Washington.But it's also impossible to take your eyes off the amazing dance ensemble who move with utter fluidity.And if it's not enough to give the show a rave review, a separate one is also due to the <a href="/theatres/victoria-palace-theatre">Victoria Palace</a> - the theatre has been given a stunning make-over for <a href="/show/hamilton">Hamilton</a>'s arrival that has seen it almost entirely gutted and remodelled, with new box seating at the rear of the stalls and dress circles and extensive new public areas in a new extension that has added bars and toilets at every level.Both the show and the theatre are here to stay.<hr /><a href="/show/hamilton">Hamilton</a> is booking at the <a href="/theatres/victoria-palace-theatre">Victoria Palace Theatre</a>.<a href="/show/hamilton">Hamilton tickets</a> are available now.&nbsp;&nbsp;<hr /><h3>What the popular press said...</h3>"In the end, however, the power of Hamilton lies in its ability to make the past seem vividly present. It suggests its subject was an Icarus who flew too close to the sun. But it also shows that he was an outsider who believed in strong central government and an enlightened capitalism. Above all, Miranda has created an invigorating and original musical that, at a time of national crisis, celebrates America's overwhelming debt to the immigrant." Michael Billington, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2017/dec/21/hamilton-review-musical-london-victoria-palace-lin-manuel-miranda?CMP=twt_gu">The Guardian</a>&nbsp;(five stars)"This musical is history in the re-making and I mean that quite literally." Ann&nbsp;Treneman, <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/theatre-review-hamilton-at-victoria-palace-sw1-xdshn0nhs">The Times</a> (five stars)"Whether or not Hamilton&nbsp;is the best musical of our generation - it clearly is, but whatever - it's been a hit for the only reason anything is a hit: because it is a great work of entertainment." Andrzej Łukowski, <a href="https://www.timeout.com/london/theatre/hamilton">Time Out</a> (five stars)"Reviewing it feels like sizing up the Mona Lisa or Beethoven's Fifth and, in truth, Hamilton&nbsp;lands on the London stage looking every inch the classic." Matt Trueman, <a href="http://variety.com/2017/legit/reviews/hamilton-review-london-west-end-1202647480/">Variety</a>&nbsp;""The Greatest Show on Earth", one paper declared the other day. C'mon! But seriously folks, there's going to be more where that came from, because - lock up your doubters: I have to report that it really is as good as we've been told." Dominic Cavendish, <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/theatre/what-to-see/hamilton-west-end-review-believe-every-single-word-hype/?WT.mc_id=tmg_share_tw">The Telegraph</a> (five stars)"Hamilton is a touchstone. It's zeitgeist, youthquake, Momentum, it's woke, it's post-musical. From masculinity, power struggles and the small things on earth, it metastasises into a crying epic about legacy, principle, nations, all the incredible mongrel people within those nations, and how all those people - every single one - can change the world." Tim Bano, <a href="https://www.thestage.co.uk/reviews/2017/hamilton-review-victoria-palace-lin-manuel-miranda-theatre-london/">The Stage</a> (five stars)"Hamilton is a knockout, and its British cast is superb, with two star-making performances from Giles Terera and, in the title role, magnetic newcomer Jamael Westman." Henry Hitchings, <a href="https://www.standard.co.uk/go/london/theatre/hamilton-review-believe-the-hype-linmanuel-mirandas-musical-is-a-knockout-a3725301.html">Evening Standard</a> (five stars)"This has been the most frenziedly anticipated musical in London since The Book of Mormon and the implacable publicity blitz might lead even the most mildly rebellious soul to wonder if anything could possibly live up to this degree of hype. I'm delighted to report that, for the most part, Hamilton manages to do so - quite exhilaratingly..."

The Lion King - LON [302]

The Lion King [302] - LON Product Media

It's been fifteen years almost to the week that I first saw Disney's<a href="/show/the-lion-king"> The Lion King</a> in what was its first year in the West End. I don't think even Disney could have predicted that sixteen years later the show would still be London's most popular musical, selling out performances eight times a week and playing to packed crowds.Judging the show against the current climate of the West End, I worried some of the magic may have faded, but Julie Taymor's staging and costume design remains some of the most innovative, impressive and breath-taking to ever be seen on stage - musical or otherwise.Disney Theatricals have grown in strength and statue since the production originally opened on Broadway in 1997, but <a href="/show/the-lion-king">The Lion King</a> remains the jewel in the crown for theatrical integrity and pure spectacle. Seeing the show again in context of Disney's more recent efforts 'The Little Mermaid', 'Newsies' and '<a href="/show/aladdin">Aladdin</a>', you realise how they pail in comparison in terms of creativity and kick yourself for taking Taymor's work for granted.Based on the 1994 animated film, one of the last in the period of the 'Disney Renaissance', the heart-warming tale follows the lion cub Simba as he learns to take his place in the great "circle of life" following the murder of his father Mufassa by his evil uncle Scar. The show combines low comedy (side-kicks Timon and Pumba) with shades of 'Hamlet', resulting in a near perfect and original story that delights both children and adults.The level of detail in the costumes, make up and puppetry is utterly staggering and Taymor creates a visual feast for the eyes aided by Garth Fagan's authentic and energetic choreography that makes you forget you are watching humans. This is blended with the subtlety of the direction that at its most powerful shows a waterhole drying up with just the simplest trick and binds together a fully immersive technical feat. There is simply nothing like this musical on a production level and the fact it stands the test of time and is yet to be bettered is proof alone of its success.The show has had some tightening up in recent years, with one song trimmed ("The Madness of King Scar") and one deleted all together ("The Morning Report") to keep the run time to a family friendly level. All of the set pieces are there - from the opening section where the animals come together to celebrate "The Circle of Life" to the Wildebeest stampede and the battle for Pride Rock. The ingenuity however comes from scenes such as "The Lioness Hunt" and "One By One" that bring a fresh authenticity to the score and showcase a universally talented, athletic and agile ensemble.<a href="/show/the-lion-king">The Lion King</a> is an outstanding creative and emotional musical and will no doubt remain the King of the West End for many years to come. As Disney Theatricals continue to grow their stock and with a Broadway production of 'Frozen' on the horizon, I hope the show isn't taken for granted, as theatre practitioners the world over can learn from Taymor's alchemy.

The Lion King Review

Set against the majesty of the Serengeti Plains and to the evocative rhythms of Africa, Disney's multi award-winning musical will redefine your expectations of theatre.

At its heart is the powerful and moving story of Simba - the epic adventure of his journey from wide-eyed cub to his destined role as King of the Pridelands.
