Oliver's supposed to me leaving  A few people have said Suzie is leaving too but i doubt it as she's not been here long and she's wanted to be Glinda on the West End for years! A few ensemble members are leaving too that i know of, can't reveal this info though LOL. Don't feed the trolls... |

One has to be careful about sharing cast info learned at the stage door. It can ruin close friendships between the cast and their biggest, most loyal fans.

I hope I can make it to London before Willemijn leaves. When she did the show in London in 2014 I missed her by a week I don't want that to happen again. I've seen her three times in the Dutch production of Wicked and I loved her portrayal of Elphaba then. |

Also (and absolutely no shade to Willemijn, she is a legend, I love her!) but are we going with the assumption that this will be the final time we can see her as Elphaba? Considering, lets face it, she is really a little too old now to be playing the role. She loks amazing and is vocally insane, but the woman is knocking on 42 in June! Considering she plays a teenager/young adult at the start of the show... That sounds ruder/harsher than I mean it to be, but you get my point. |

Her first show back was incredible, the 10th Anniversary, this incredible cast and no doubt, an incredible final show!  |

Yeah, she'll probably play her very last show as Elphaba this year. |

I would have loved to see Rachel as Elphaba, but it is just not doable right now with classes and stuff. |

I thought the same about Kerry when I saw her a couple of years back, certainly in comparison to Emma. I have seen the show 4 times (next week will be my 5th) Kerry once and Emma 3 times. The first time I saw Emma she was the understudy and she blew me away. I was expecting Kerry to be so much better having seen her in concert but as amazing as she was I preferred Emma's version. Very intrigued to hopefully see Rachel. Have seen Savannah twice and Sophie Linder Lee twice and I much preferred Sophie out of the two, she really made me laugh. |

Are you booked for Rachels last show already? Im up in the circle somewhere. I haven't yet booked... only because (I know people will be shocked!) I have a plan... when her final show appears on TodayTix later this week, I am gonna book via there because I have a £30 saved up credit to use on there, so I am planning on buying a £50 something pound ticket and only pay £20 something and use the credit!
There are still a fair few tickets left, and a lot of single seats around the theatre. But any fans going to the show would already have tickets by now, I assume, so there will be plenty left later this week. But I am buying literally as soon as it appears on TodayTix, no messing around!

A cunning plan. Will it definitely go on TodayTix. Im just going by the fact that getintolondontheatre have access to the matinee but not the evening |

I imagine they will put it up to shift a few tickets, as there are a few hundred still to sell. |

More tickets would have sold for the matinee as it's still the time frame for Christmas presents - parents buying kids tickets to Wicked for Christmas presents usually book matinees. Blimey they have no idea what they're in for....

There's a part of me that would love them to simply perform a straight performance at the matinee next Saturday, no muck-ups or anything, just the show, performed as it was meant to be.
But can you imagine the scenes afterwards? Superfans starting riots in the street because the guard didn't ask Fiyero if he wanted still or sparkling water...

I don't think it'll be a muck-up matinee - it's not a full cast change. Maybe the odd in-joke or a bit of improv from Suzie to Rachel in Popular, but I doubt it'll be much more than that. I think the evening will be a different story though - people who aren't fans who've booked that will be in for a shock, like the people sitting beside me at Kerry's first show back for her final run who were very confused until I explained to them why there was so much screaming going on!

I think you could be right. The significant departure other than Rachels is I guess Katies last 2 as Nessa

I really want to see Rachel's last. I'll be in town that day, but I'll be there with a friend with whom I already saw it in September. And he's not as obsessed as I am so he might not want to see it again so soon |
