Cast change day for Wicked is Feb 5 . Lee is reportedly leaving . All sorts of unconfirmed rumours about Rachel staying on on the whatsonstage and other boards....This year's current holiday dates are at http://www.wickedthemusical.co.uk/castandcreative.asp
Rachel's up for best takeover in a leading role in the Whatsonstage awards. She's up against Kerry Ellis, who has a big fan following, and Rachel is just 0..2% ahead at present ! If anyone feels inclined to vote http://awards.whatsonstage.com/index.php?pg=1080
Wicked is also up for best show and Sam and Les Mis are doing well in some categories too with legally Blonde taking even more.
I think Rachel is now Queen of the West End audience curtain call response as her competition for the salute style , mass standing ovation has now gone with Sheridan Smith leaving Legally.
Rachel is on Dancing On Ice next Sunday the 13th as part of their theatre night. She's reportedly not with her new Fiyero so its going to be a solo from Wicked?
If she does Defying Gravity or No Good Deed at full power , viewers expecting a quiet night in may get a shock......
Cast Change Last Saturday - with speedier versions and bigger growls. The conductor was jumping up and down and treading air to the music which might also explain the speeding up.........

Westend live is on, free, in Trafalgar Square, this Saturday and Sunday. Wicked is scheduled to be there, and accoding to her twitter, so is Rachel.
Wicked is on the schedule for 1135-1143 on Saturday.
There's also, possibly, a lot of other TV show names there. Million Dollar Quartet start the Saturday schedule - possibly with Francesca there .Legally blonde is also on on Saturday - no idea if Siobhan is involved. Wizard of Oz has a slot on Sunday. Helena Blackman has singing slots on both days.

According to her twitter Rachel is in the show to Feb 5. No idea if thats extendable, but if she can sing it for longer they would be silly not to?
