The stars of the Wicked stage show have said the increased interest caused by the release of the blockbuster film has made it “a really exciting time” to be involved in the story.
Laura Pick and Sarah O’Connor have been leading the cast of a touring production of the show, which has arrived in Manchester for its final shows.
Pick, who plays Elphaba in the show, said she and O’Connor, who plays Glinda, went to see the film and “cried like a baby”.
O’Connor added she loved retelling the story live as it was “definitely a different experience”.
Wicked is at the Palace Theatre in Manchester until 12 January 2025.
