Rachel Tucker and Lousie Dearman staying on in Wicked!

There are quite a few cast changes in  Wicked! the Musical at the Apollo Victoria next February.

Lee Mead who is currently playing Fiyero does his last performance on Saturday 5th February 2011 with auditions currently taking place for his successor.

The good news is that Rachel Tucker (Elphaba) and Louise Dearman (Glinda) are both staying on. Both have tweeted that they have renewed their contracts until 10th December 2011. But it is likely that they will be doing fewer performances.

Also continuing in their roles are Julie Legrand (Madame Morrible), Clive Carter (The Wizard), Julian Forsyth (Dr Dillamond) and Nikki Davis-Jones (Standby Elphaba).

Lee Mead (Fiyero), Cassandra Compton (Nessarose), George Ure (Boq) and original London cast member Sarah Earnshaw (Standby Glinda) will all depart on 5th February 2011.

Will keep you posted as Rachel and Louise's performance days and more casting information is confirmed.
