Such a privilege to take part in Young Voices 2026 last week. 9000 young voices in the O2 Arena singing a Wicked medley with Emma Kingston, live streamed into class rooms across the globe. Their enthusiasm was off the charts, and you couldn’t help but walk around with a smile. A great way to get young people inspired about music and singing.

Last week, Wicked London became the 9th Longest Running show in the West End. And also the longest running show at the Apollo Victoria Theatre, taking over from Starlight Express.

We took some official pictures which you can see on the official Wicked Social Media channels.

But with Abbie Quinnen and Iroy Abesamis giving it Emerald City realness... well... we just had to grab a snap on the stage!

The icon herself, Louise Dearman, was back in the house supporting her mates on the broom and bubble. A joy to have her back in again. So grab this photo for Wicked UK to mark the occasion.

Hoopla! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💚🩷🌈

A week ago we kicked up our Wicked heels and entered the park for what was an amazing performance in front of 15,000 people. The love was ENORMOUS. And our Witches slayed that stage! The crowd was word perfect, if not somewhat an octave lower! Ha! 😁

So much fun to be a part of it, and grab some pics along the way.

5 years ago it all shut down.

Seems like a world away, when we were all forced into lockdown. All of our theatres closed, and all of our jobs on hold.

My photobook, Going Dark, is a reflection of those times, with commentaries that speak to that uncertain time and our love for these buildings. Available online through Matcham Books:

"Going Dark is an amazing record of a year of Covid19 and I found the images shocking and upsetting. Having appeared in many
West End theatres, I know full well that they go dark from time to time, but seeing them like this for such a long period really brings
home the seriousness of the pandemic to all of us who regard the theatres as our places of work."

It was bring Sabre and Dynamite to Work day last week. Sheli McCoy and Emily Steel from BBC's Gladiators came to the Emerald City, so I grab a couple of snaps for Wicked London to mark the occasion.

Gladiators, ready?
Ozians, ready?
3,2,1...

We couldn’t be happier to welcome these Gladiators stars, Sabre and Dynamite to Oz! 💚✨

I got to spend a few days with these peeps, documenting a costume bible for the archives. Was great to see some familiar faces and meet some new ones. Shot this pic before their final performance of the Wicked UK Tour. Such a handsome bunch!

Oz speed to our Wicked Tour company who play their final performance in Manchester today! 💚✨
