The worst musical I've ever seen, I feel very sorry for the cast because the main problem is a very poor script and abysmal songs. The whole production is clunky and awkward, to be honest I've seen better productions at provincial theatre pantomimes, this is not the quality you expect from a major London theatre. My wife and I saw the new Wizard of Oz production in London late last year and it's in a completely different league to this show. We were not alone in our opinion, half the group on our coach said that they thought it was slow and boring. My wife and I seriously considered leaving in the intermission but decided to give a second chance; sadly the second half was only marginally better than the first. I’m sure that some people really do enjoy the show but if you have seen productions like The Wizard of Oz, Billy Elliot or Chicago, think twice before spending money on seeing Wicked
