New Wicked Castmembers in London!

It has been announced that the London production of Wicked at the Apollo Victoria Theater will be bringing in several new cast members on July 16, 2007. Of these change-ins will be Diane Pilkington who will take over Helen Dallimore’s role of the golden-haired Glinda and Olive Tompsett will take over the role of Fiyero, replacing Adam Garcia. Andy Mace will replace Martin Ball in the role of Doctor Dillamond.

Both Tompsett and Mace were members of the original London ensemble of Wicked and both are undoubtedly looking forward to spreading their wings within the cast to take on these leading roles within this storyline telling the growing-up tale of the two girls who could become Glinda the Good Witch and Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West. Based on the book by Gregory Maguire, this musical features a score by Stephen Schwartz, and a book by Winnie Holzman as well as scenic design by Eugene Lee and costume design by Susan Hilferty.

If you are as big a fan of this musical as the rest of the world, you will surely not think twice about taking a jaunt across the pond to see these new cast changes. Even if you can’t afford to journey to London to watch their adaptation of this impressively loved musical, you will surely want to see the show again, either in its original New York home or on tour.
