Get ready for an exciting twist on the classic musical Wicked as a one-day show featuring a cast of transgender and non-binary performers hits the stage in London. Trans Wicked, set to take place at Clapham Grand on July 27, will showcase all the beloved songs from the original production along with some innovative staging moments.
Written and directed by Tabby Lamb, the show will star familiar faces like Anthony Lexa and Sé Carr in the lead roles of Glinda and Elphaba, offering a fresh perspective on the iconic characters.
The show aims to provide representation for the trans community and challenge traditional casting norms in the theatre industry. By putting a spotlight on these issues through the lens of the beloved musical, the show seeks to empower and inspire audiences while celebrating the talent and diversity of the performers.
While the initial show is set for a one-day run, the creators are hopeful for future opportunities to bring Trans Wicked to a wider audience. By showcasing the talent and creativity of transgender and non-binary performers, the production aims to carve out a space for marginalised voices in the theatre world.
