Kerry Ellis

Available for over a year

Sheridan Smith's musicals show in which she's joined by a different well-known guest in every episode, whether a stage performer themselves, or simply a big fan of musical theatre. They take us through a playlist of some of their favourite songs from the stage and screen, explaining why every song means so much to them. Here she's talking to West End and Broadway leading lady Kerry Ellis who originated the role of Meat in Queen’s We Will Rock You, and was the first British Elphaba in Wicked, immediately transferring to play her in New York. She’s also played Nancy in Oliver, Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady, Ellen in Miss Saigon, Grizabella in Cats, and Fantine in Les Misérables, as well as collaborating with Queen's Brian May on various projects.
