Lee Mead Joins Award-Winning Show Wicked

LONDON, April 30, 2010 - Any Dream Will Do winner Lee Mead will return to the West End stage to
star as Fiyero in Wicked at the Apollo Victoria, from 10 May 2010.

West End leading man Lee Mead is best-known for his victory in BBC One TV
show Any Dream Will Do, where he won the role of Joseph in Joseph and the
Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat.

Since then, Mead has gone on to play the title role in Oscar Wilde's Lord
Arthur Saville's Crime and has since married and started a family with TV
personality and stage actress in her own right, Denise Van Outen.

He is now joining the cast of one of the most popular shows of all time
and with both Mead and Wicked boasting huge fanbases, his run is sure to be a
success.

Cleverly adapted from the book by Gregory Maguire, Wicked is the musical
tale of Glinda the Good Witch of the North and Elphaba the Wicked Witch of
the West, and how they came to be the witches that we have come to know and
love.

The two girls meet at the school of sorcery and become friends despite
their differences - Glinda is beautiful, popular and has lots of ambition,
Elphaba on the other hand is smart, feisty, misunderstood and has green skin.
