Wicked's Rachel Tucker Will Take Her Elphaba Back to the West End

Rachel Tucker, who is currently starring as Elphaba in Broadway's Wicked, will return to the hit musical's West End production this fall to join the 10th Anniversary London cast. As previously announced, Tucker will play her final Broadway performance on July 30 and will be replaced by Jennifer DiNoia.

The 10th-anniversary West End cast will also feature Anita Dobson as Madame Morrible and Suzie Mathers as Glinda. Tucker, Dobson, and Mathers will join the show beginning September 5.

Also joining the cast will Idriss Kargbo as Boq, Alice Fearn as the standby for Elphaba, and original cast member Martin Ball who returns to play Doctor Dillamond. Continuing cast members include Oliver Savile (Fiyero), Mark Curry (The Wizard), Katie Rowley Jones (Nessarose), and Carina Gillespie (Standby for Glinda).

Based on the novel of the same name by Gregory Maguire, Wicked is set in the land of Oz and tells the story of young girls Glinda and Elphaba, who grow up to become Glinda the Good Witch and the Wicked Witch of the West, respectively.

Featuring music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Winnie Holzman, the production is directed by Joe Mantello with musical staging by Wayne Cilento.
