The cast of 'Wicked' original Korea, which waited 13 years, was released on the 3rd. Elphaba and Glinda, who successfully led the tour on the 20th anniversary of the Broadway premiere, raise expectations.

Broadway's biggest blockbuster musical 'Wicked' in Korea unveiled its casting ahead of its opening in July. It raises expectations with a cast of 33 people with the best skills to meet the aspirations of a performance in Korea that has been waiting for 13 years.

The tour, which marks the 20th anniversary of Broadway's premiere in 2023, successfully leads the tour for about three years, from Australia to Singapore, where it is currently performing, adding credibility to the already completed chemistry.




The role of Glinda, a blonde good witch full of ambition, will be played by Kourtney Monsma, an entertainer who is drawing attention in various fields such as actors and artists for his outstanding star quality. Immersed in the message of the musical Wicked, which I saw for the first time in my life, I fell in love with it to the point where it was considered one of my life's works. He exceeded his dream by being evaluated as the `Standard of Glinda' with his perfect acting skills and clear voice. Attracting the audience with lovely eyes and witty livelyness, he has been successfully leading the tour of 'Wicked' after attracting attention as 'Anna' of 'Frozen'.

Sheridan Adams, who dramatically meets the role of Elphaba, a green witch with emerald green skin, is coming. He has been dreaming after watching the Broadway premiere of Elphabiza world star Idina Menzel's 'Defeating Gravity' video. He was immediately selected as the main character by the creator with the praise that he "found Elphaba" with his song "Defying Gravity" sung at the audition. He played the role of Elphaba for the first time in his acting career, and he performed more than 400 performances perfectly, marking the birth of a new star.

The popular playboy prince Piero is played by rising star Liam Head. He is an actor with excellent emotional expression based on his solid singing skills. Having a charming voice with a soft tone and also a dancer in Elvis, he is a versatile artist who is not only a stage and film performer, but also a writer, director, and producer himself.




Veteran actors who make the production more solid and three-dimensional will join. The role of a wizard who holds power falsely is played by Simon Burke, a famous actor of any genre, such as musicals, plays, and movies, and Jennifer Bulletic is the dean of Madame Morible, who goes between good and evil, joy and eerie.

It won more than 100 trophies at international award ceremonies, including the Tony Award, Drama Desk Award, and Grammy Award, with a huge stage mechanism that completes sophisticated and magical fantasy, including a 12.4-meter-long time dragon, flying monkey, and 350 beautiful costumes, as well as Stephen Schwarz's beautiful music that recorded triple platinum such as 'D-file Gravity', 'Popular', and 'Four Good', and a story of a delightful story that turned classics upside down and a deep philosophy based on Gregory Maguire's novel. The original "Wicked" performance, which landed in Korea after 13 years of waiting since its premiere in Korea, is an opportunity to experience a world-class blockbuster musical that achieved both artistic and industrial achievements at the same time.
