    The original Wicked London cast, which graced the West End stage in 2006, boasted a stellar lineup of performers who infused the magical realm of Oz with their remarkable talent

    Idina Menzel is renowned for her iconic portrayal of Elphaba, and you will no doubt recognise her voice as Elsa in the Disney film Frozen. Helen Dallimore brought Glinda to life, Adam Garcia charmed audiences as Fiyero, showcasing his versatility after starring in the film Coyote Ugly. Miriam Margolyes lent her distinct presence to the role of Madame Morrible, her extensive career includes memorable performances in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and The Age of Innocence

    Nigel Planer mesmerised as The Wizard, known for his work in The Young Ones and Terry Pratchett's Hogfather. Katie Rowley Jones portrayed Nessarose, her credits also including The Beautiful Game. Martin Ball rounded out the principal cast as Doctor Dillamond, bringing his talent from productions like Les Misérables and Phantom of the Opera. Together, these actors laid the blueprint (well, greenprint!) for Wicked's enduring success on the West End stage.
