I had never been to see a London show until yesterday!! Now I know what I have been missing out on. I had seen 'Wicked' being advertised everywhere and my other half actually really wanted to see it as well.

The show started at 2.30pm and finished around 5.30pm with a 20min interval. We got the train from Kings Lynn straight through to London Kings Cross. We should have then got the underground to Victoria Station however over the bank holiday the Victoria Line wasn't running, which caused mayhem. But my BF's navigational skills got us there via the District Line to South Kensington and then to Victoria! We arrived a couple of hours before the show started and went for a bite to eat.

We then decided to head back to theatre and waited outside for the doors to open. The cast started to arrive and we found ourselves amongst keen fans who looked as though they had seen it 100 times already. They wore 'Wicked' t-shirts and were armed with at least 3 pens (incase one ran out) and note pads ready for the autographs.

The show was great..Its another side to the story, The Wizard of OZ. It explains how the Wicked Witch of the West became wicked and why and how the Tin Man became made of tin and the Lion cowardly and the Scarecrow etc etc..... It really is magical. There is love, lots of laughter and parts that really scared me!! The opening scene is a dragon with red eyes and smoke bellowing out of his nostrils.......!

The vocals are amazing. The lead singer who plays the Witch really can sing and makes your hairs stand on end. But staying that, all the cast were great. I especially liked the Prince, very dashing and his trousers were VERY tight throughout the performance. So no complaints there!!!

But seriously I would recommend this show to anyone.

On the train home I saw my little sister, Helen. She had been to London to see Dirty Dancing and she thought the show was great fun, so I think another trip to the West End is definitely on the cards for me.
