Wicked! Witches Cast Change

Rachel Tucker is to take over the role of the green-skinned Elphaba in Wicked! at the Apollo Victoria Theatre on 29th March.  Her last West End appearance was in We Will Rock You and she was also one of the finalists in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s I’d Do Anything BBC show searching for a Nancy to play in Oliver!

Rachel will be opening with a new good witch Glinda being played by Louise Dearman, who she has already appeared with spoofing the same roles in the satirical sketch show, Jest End.

The current London Wicked! company is led by Alexia Khadime (Elphaba), Dianne Pilkington (Glinda), Harriet Thorpe (Madame Morrible), Oliver Thompsett (Fiyero) and Sam Kelly playing the Wizard.
