First Look! New Wicked Cast
Saadiqah, March 1st, 2024The new cast members will be on stage from March 12th
One of London's West End long-runners, Wicked, is welcoming new cast members on March 12th as it continues its run at London's Apollo Victoria Theatre. Joining the cast will be Michael Fenton Stevens as The Wizard, Graham Kent as Doctor Dillamond, and Lauren Harrison returning as standby for Elphaba, taking over from Mark Curry (The Wizard), Steven Pinder (Doctor Dillamond), and Amy Webb (standby Elphaba).
The musical, based on Gregory Maguire's best-selling novel, provides a rich and subversive prequel to Frank L. Baum's original tale. Heart-achingly glamorous, tragic, and with more than a few comedic moments for adults, this musical transports audiences to an Oz not seen in previous incarnations. Spectacular fantasy, wizardry, witchcraft, boarding school, teenage romance, and the lust for popularity combine in this coming-of-age tale.
Take your mother, your friends, your sister - even your brother - to see this; the show encompasses all that is important about friendship and family without being saccharine, celebrating their unlikely and imperfect aspects.
