Wicked London’s latest Cast Change is scheduled to take place on Saturday 5th February and it looks like it will be a very sad day as a lot of popular cast members will be leaving us.

Those who have already confirmed that they will be leaving are Cassie Compton (Nessarose) Lee Mead (Fiyero), George Ure (Boq), Sarah Earnshaw (Standby Glinda) and Ensemble members Lewis Bradley, Jack Wilcox, Stevie Tate- Bauer, Danny Mac, Lucy Newton and Sam Wilmott.

On a happier note, the following have all extended their contracts; Louise Dearman (Glinda), Rachel Tucker (Elphaba), Nikki Davis-Jones (Standby Elphaba), Clive Carter (The Wizard), Julie Le Grande (Madame Morrible) and Julian Forsyth (Dr Dillamond).

Who will be sharing the stage with them from Monday 7th February is as yet unknown, although it is currently the subject of much rumour and speculation! We will keep you updated as soon as announcements are made.
