Both Lucie and Helen are missing tonight’s show due to illness! Amy Webb & Lisa-Anne Wood will be on tonight! Wise decision from the pair of them in my opinion, gives them time to rest and get an early night so they can perform their last show tomorrow! 💚 May I just ask I’ve seen the tweet from west end understudies about Lisa being on but nothing for Amy not saying your wrong just curious 😂😂😂 Nevermind 😂😂😂 |

That's not how it works. Anyone know what some of the 'muck-ups' were? |

Does anyone know anything about how stage door works? Does Lucie come out after however long? Guessing it takes a while to get the green off 😄

Just home from the cast’s final show. Nice atmosphere and entrance applause for everyone. Some highlights…. I wasn’t expecting Carina’s nessarose to be as good as it was. I never really pay attention to Nessa but some of her choices were so different and worked perfect. Lucie did ‘for the last time I feel Wicked’ and her No Good Deed was probably the best I’ve seen. I think any fans hoping for riffing in the wizard and I or defying gravity might have been left disappointed, she sang them to score but sounded great.
Morrible and the Wizard gave touching speeches at curtain call, much more personal than how Michael McCabe used to do it. Helen Woolf spoke too (she went on a bit long to be honest) and Lucie also.
It felt a bit strange to have cast change on a Sunday matinee, and I think the atmosphere was better when it used to be a Saturday night but I still enjoyed. Some people sitting around me had no idea it was cast change and were commenting on how much applause there was was, but it was nothing too distracting. Looking forward to hearing reviews from Alexia next week…

I was also there. I have been to many cast change shows and this was up with the very best of them. Lucie and Helen were absolutely outstanding and I thoroughly enjoyed their performances. Very strong supporting cast and ensemble too, especially in the dance department.
Looking forward to seeing the new cast now.

That was literally my initial reaction to those pictures, it's been a decade and it looks like she hasn't aged at all. :-)

Hi everyone, I saw Wicked for the first time on Saturday evening and Amy Webb was outstanding. Is there any way to know I'm advance if she's likely to be performing on other nights specifically? Thanks  |

Thanks If you go to the Wicked website: www.wickedthemusical.co.uk/cast-creative/ and scroll all the way to the bottom, cast holidays are listed. Dates that Alexia Khadime has booked off will be Amy's scheduled shows, but also keep in mind you may have a chance of seeing Kate Leiper or Nicola Espallardo who are the other Elphaba covers. So far it looks like the holidays haven't been finalised but if you check back in a couple of weeks they should have some dates there. |

Just watched the speeches - Helen did go on rather didn't she.
Is anyone going tonight ?

Really looking forward to hearing about this evening. I never caught Alexia last time so be interesting to see her on this run (but I really enjoyed her performance in Prince of Egypt).

She has been at the show ten years so certainly deserves a few minutes to say her thanks. I thought it was lovely. Usually someone just reads out a list of names and says "these people are all going" then says a line about each lead. This was special.

Wow wow wow
How is it possible that Alexia sounds the same - in fact, better - than she did 13 years ago.
That was a beautiful performance. Back to basics across the board. Her Elphaba is softer than it was, but just as soulful. listening to that Defying Grabity I was transported straight back to 2009. Wizard and I was the same but she now does the end in one breath! Amazing vocal growth.
Lucy is a great Glinda. Gorgeous soprano. Actually funny - seemed to channel Dianne at times.

Do you mean she does “ with me - and I’ll stand there with the wizard” in one breath Ashleigh Gray style or she does “the wizard and IIIII” in one breath? I thought most Elphies usually take a breath between notes on the latter. So devastated that I missed tonight. Alexia has always been my number 1! |

I mean “with me” through to “stand there with the wizard” Alexia never used to do that and after years of listening to her bootlegs, it was such a nice surprise! She sounds so powerful too. |
