Wicked London Cast

Updated March 30, 2010

"Witches of Oz"

Rachel Tucker and Louise Dearman have assumed the West End's most sought after leading lady roles of Elphaba and Glinda.

  • Rachel and Louse: Irish WICKED fans may recognise Belfast born Rachel Tucker from her time co-presenting BBC Northern Ireland's The Friday Show with Eamonn Holmes. But Rachel is no stranger to the world of musical theatre, having just finished playing Meat in the Queen/Ben Elton musical We Will Rock You at the Dominion Theatre and also reaching the semi-finals of the hugely popular BBC1 series I'd Do Anything! In fact, Rachel is no stranger to the Land of Oz either, having played Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz at Belfast's Lyric Theatre, for which she won a TMA Theatre Award nomination for 'Best Actress in a Musical'! OZMOPOLITAN will be catching-up with Rachel in a few weeks to see what it feels like to be revisiting Oz and seeing it from a slightly different angle!

    Louise Dearman joins WICKED fresh from her much acclaimed portrayal of Eva Peron in the UK national tour of Evita. Louise's new role as Glinda marks her return to the West End having previously appeared in Guys and Dolls at the Piccadilly Theatre. Louise is also about to finish playing opposite musical theatre legend Mickey Rooney in the title role of Cinderella!

Fiyero

Lee Mead will be joining WICKED London as Fiyero from Monday 10 May 2010! (Lewis Bradley plays Fiyero until then.)


Lee has had plenty of experience as a West End leading man having wowed audiences and critics alike in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the Adelphi Theatre, for which he won the Variety Club Award for 'Outstanding New Talent'! Among his other theatre appearances are The Phantom of the Opera (West End), The Who's Tommy (UK tour), Miss Saigon (UK tour) and the UK tour of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat!
