Green girl changes at Wicked

Pippa Grandison has finished her tenure with the Australian production of Wicked, which is currently playing at the Capitol Theatre in Sydney.

Grandison stepped in to share the role of Elphaba with Jemma Rix when Amanda Harrison departed the show due to health concerns earlier this year.

Wicked has confirmed that Patrice Tipoki will now share the role of Elphaba with Rix.

Tipoki re-joined the company recently, after being an Elphaba stand-by for the Melbourne run of the hit tuner.

Wicked continues to do reasonably good business in Sydney, and has not announced or indicated a closing date.
