The best theatre break for Wicked fans right now is to get back up to London and see the Wicked show at Victoria. Alexia Khadime as Elphaba is brilliant and not to be missed.
I know a lot of people loved Kerry Ellis though, and here’s a picture of Kerry as Elphaba.
The big news is that Kerry Ellis is coming back to London, not as Elphaba though, nor even in Wicked at all but as Nancy in Oliver! Yes, Kerry Ellis is to take over the role from Jodie Prenger in March 2010 so there’s something for all the Kerry Ellis fans to look forward too.
The other news is that the show Wizard of Oz, for which Wicked is a prequel, is coming to London later in the year, after choosing one lucky young lady to play Dorothy by the same technique that gave us Jodie Prenger as Nancy. Yes, another Andrew Lloyd Webber reality TV talent show contest with the public choosing Dorothy – called “Over The Rainbow” will air in 2010, same rules, pack drill.
