Laura Pick
Laura Pick is a star of Wicked. She made her London stage debut in July 2013 in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s The Sound of Music at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre. Her West End journey in Wicked began in 2017, when she was cast as the Standby for ‘Elphaba’. Laura subsequently assumed the starring role full-time, playing ‘Elphaba’ in the West End at more than 350 performances to huge acclaim.
The West End and Broadway musical phenomenon, which tells the incredible untold story of the Witches of Oz, continues its open-ended run at London’s Apollo Victoria Theatre, where it has already been seen by more than 11 million people and is now in its 17th year.
Wicked features songs by multi-Oscar and Grammy Award winner Stephen Schwartz. Based on the multi-million copy best-selling novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire and written by Emmy and Tony Award nominee Winnie Holzman.
Oliver Tompsett
Oliver Tompsett is an acclaimed West End star. From playing William Shakespeare in & Juliet, and Edward Lewis in Pretty Woman: The Musical in September 2006, he was a part of the original Wicked London cast, led by Idina Menzel as Elphaba. After understudying Fiyero for a year, Tompsett took over the role from Adam Garcia, playing Fiyero from 2007 to 2010.
Following Wicked, Tompsett found himself in back-to-back rock musicals. In 2011, he played Drew Boley in the West End premiere of Rock of Ages at the Shaftesbury Theatre, alongside Simon Lipkin as Lonny, Shayne Ward as Stacee Jaxx, and Zizi Strallen. The following year, he took over as Galileo in We Will Rock You,continuing with the show to its eventual 2014 closure.
In 2017, Tompsett succeeded Killian Donnelly and David Hunter as Charlie Price in Kinky Boots. He then went on to originate a role, cast as William Shakespeare in & Juliet. He starred in the Manchester premiere, and continued in the West End show, performing from 2019 - 2023. In an & Juliet review on London Theatre, our critic said: "There's also powerful vocal work from two of our best pop theatre performers, Oliver Tompsett and Cassidy Janson, as William Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway."
