Jonathan Bailey reveals he recorded his Wicked audition tape during his Cock five-minute call in the West End

Jonathan Bailey received a WhatsOnStage Award nomination for his performance in Cock at the Ambassadors Theatre, but as it turns out, he also bagged something even more impressive during the run.

Chatting on the new Wicked: One Wonderful Night special event (being shown tomorrow on UK shores), Bailey remembered doing an ad hoc audition from the West End venue. Bailey admitted that he sang a “karaoke” rendition of “Dancing Through Life” to camera from his dressing room table.

You can watch the audition itself below and, in a wild turn, you can hear the famed five-minute call during the tape.

Cock was staged in spring 2022, being met with strong reviews and sell-out audiences.

In fact, we chatted to Bailey during his Cock run – little did we know that even more exciting things were in the works! Let’s hope it isn’t too long before we see Bailey back in the West End.
