Gravity tour with Kerry Ellis, Louise Dearman and Rachel Tucker adds more dates

Exclusive: Kerry Ellis, Louise Dearman and Rachel Tucker have added more tour stops for Gravity, a concert celebrating their careers across the West End and Broadway.

All three performers have longstanding connections to Wicked. Ellis was the first British Elphaba, Dearman remains the only actor to have played both Elphaba and Glinda, and Tucker appeared as Elphaba in both the West End and on Broadway.

The concert will feature tunes from Wicked, We Will Rock You, Cats, Evita, Sunset Boulevard, Chicago and more. Ellis, Dearman and Tucker will also include numbers that nod to other stages of their careers, including Ellis’s work with Brian May, Tucker’s appearance on BBC’s I’d Do Anything, and Dearman’s acclaimed turn as Eva Perón.

The trio first performed the show earlier this year at Theatre Royal Drury Lane, picking up a WhatsOnStage Awards nomination in the process. The production will now visit five cities across the country next April, including Manchester Opera House on 10 April, Birmingham Hippodrome on 12 April, Glasgow King’s Theatre on 22 April, Edinburgh Playhouse on 23 April and Canterbury’s Marlowe Theatre on 28 April.

New dates revealed today are Southend’s Cliffs Pavilion (24 May), Nottingham Royal Concert Hall (29 May) and Norwich Theatre (31 May).

Gravity is co-created and produced by Simon Schofield and Scott Garnham for Sisco Entertainment, with musical direction by James Doughty and choreography by Chrissy Dahlen.
