A bold new reimagining of the beloved musical *Wicked* is set to take the stage at the **Clapham Grand** this Sunday, featuring an entirely trans and non-binary cast. Titled *Trans Wicked*, the production marks a landmark moment in British theatre, coinciding with **London Trans+ Pride** weekend.

The one-night-only performance, scheduled for **27 July**, is directed by award-winning playwright **Tabby Lamb**, who also appears in the show as the narrator, Ozma - a nod to the canonically trans character from L. Frank Baum’s *Ozma of Oz*. The production promises all the iconic musical numbers from the original Broadway hit, alongside inventive staging and theatrical flourishes.

Leading the cast are *Sex Education* star **Anthony Lexa** as Glinda and drag king **Sé Carr** as Elphaba. They are joined by **Teddy Hinde** (*Charlie and the Chocolate Factory*) as Fiyero, **Sam Buttery** (*Kaos*, *Wreck*) as Doctor Dillamond, and **Gigi Zahir** \- also known as drag performer **Crayola** \- in dual roles as Madame Morrible and Boq. **E Round** completes the principal cast as Nessarose and The Wizard.

The **London Trans Choir** will lend their voices to the production, adding a powerful choral element to the show’s most stirring moments.

The idea for *Trans Wicked* was born from a conversation between Carr and Lamb about the barriers trans performers face in traditional casting. “Theatre is so typecast that if you don’t look a certain way, you won’t get it,” Carr has said in interviews. The production aims to challenge those norms and celebrate trans talent in a genre that has historically excluded them.

Proceeds from the event will go towards supporting London Trans+ Pride, which takes place the day before the performance.
