"The Marathon" with Kerry Ellis

Connor and Dylan are joined by Kerry Ellis (Wicked, We Will Rock You). The twins wrap up their legendary 20th anniversary of Wicked celebration, joined by the first British actress to play Elphaba on both Broadway AND the West End – Kerry Ellis. The First Lady of the West End dives into her entire history with Wicked, from her early auditions, standing by for Idina Menzel, debuting in London and eventually taking the show to Broadway alongside Kendra Kassebaum and Aaron Tveit. We discuss all things Kerry: her book, albums, collaborations and friendship with Queen guitarist Brian May, performing on gay cruises, original music, and her love story with her husband. My Fair Lady, Miss Saigon, Les Mis, and up next.. Diana in the UK. Stick around to the end for drama around Peaky Blinders, All of Us Strangers, and Cabaret on the West End. You don’t want to miss this chat with the lovely, talented, and gorgeous Kerry Ellis.
