Stepping into the shoes of powerhouse Idina Menzel was never going to be easy, but for Kerry Ellis, Wicked's stunning new lead, the role of Elphaba is a magical challenge she's taking in her stride...
Hey Kerry, we love the show! How much of a challenge is playing Elphaba?
"Every show has its new challenges and it takes time to perfect the performance, this role is huge to take on but I’m enjoying finding my way through it."
How much training did you do prior to taking over from Idina, and how did you study for the role?
"I was there from the start with everyone so was able to gain all the original direction and information, I also had a week with the director Joe Mantello, which was great."
So, have you had any strange encounters with Wicked fans yet? They're a passionate bunch!
"Yes, I wouldn’t say strange,... everyone is so enthusiastic and very supportive and just loves the show. It’s really nice to have them on board."
What do you do in London to wind down after the show?
"At the moment I’m still finding my feet with the role so don’t get to go out much
But I am off to see Cirque du Soleil on Sunday, which I’m very excited about"
You must be working so hard, will you be taking a holiday soon?
"Not yet, as I only took one two weeks ago! I think I’m going to stick around for a bit, but I always like a cheeky summer break when I can."
Which song/scene from Wicked do you enjoy performing most?
"I think it would have to be No Good Deed, I love that song, but to be honest, I enjoy it all!"
You can't keep a good witch down, so what’s next in line for you?
"I don’t know, I’m loving being a part of Wicked and who knows what the future will bring! If my career keeps going as it has I’ll be very happy."

DESIRE
@Karen Carcel
Desire is the serum of the soul secreted to the universe in thought
Binding the energies of creation form given genesis in one new
Image. I am, I am what I will I will what I believe I believe what I
Accept I accept what I love I love what I am I am.
Have a nice day
