The West End production of Wicked is about to welcome a bunch of new, swankified faces! Beginning September 21, Oliver Savile will join the cast as Fiyero, as will Sean Kearns as Doctor Dillamond, and current ensemble member Daniel Hope as Boq. The show continues to play London’s Apollo Victoria Theatre.
Emma Hatton and Savannah Stevenson, the show’s current Elphaba and Glinda, have extended their contracts into 2016. Also continuing with the show are Liza Sadovy as Madame Morrible and Katie Rowley Jones as Nessarose. Wicked alum Carina Gillespie will join the production as the Glinda standby on September 21, joining Elphaba standby Natalie Andreou.
Jeremy Taylor, Martyn Ellis and Sam Lupton will play their final performances as Fiyero, the Wizard and Boq, respectively, on September 19. Phillip Childs ends his run as Doctor Dillamond on August 8, and Steven Pinder will take over temporarily.
Savile has appeared in the West End in The Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables. Kearns’ stage credits include The Commitments, The 39 Steps and Billy Elliot.
