Keri René Fuller Sings ‘The Wizard & I’ in WICKED on Broadway

Wicked the Musical has released new footage of Keri René Fuller, Broadway’s new Elphaba, performing “The Wizard & I.” Fuller takes on the role full time after serving as the Elphaba standby. The new video follows the recent clip of Emma Flynn as Glinda performing “No One Mourns the Wicked.”

Fuller has appeared on Broadway in SIX (Jane Seymour), Jagged Little Pill, and Waitress (Francine, Jenna u/s), off-Broadway in The Last Bimbo of the Apocalypse (Coco), and on National Tour in Cats (Grizabella).

She joined the production earlier this month, alongside Emma Flynn (Glinda), Ellen Harvey (Madame Morrible), Blake Hammond (The Wizard) and Carl Man (Fiyero). They are joining a company that includes Jenna Bainbridge (Nessarose), Danny Quadrino (Boq), and William Youmans (Doctor Dillamond). 

Currently the 4th longest-running show in Broadway history, Wicked is in its 23rd year on Broadway. Winner of over 100 international awards including the Grammy Award and three Tony Awards, Wicked has been performed in over 100 cities in 16 countries around the world (U.S., Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Japan, Germany, Holland, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, The Philippines, Mexico, Brazil, Switzerland and China) and has thus far been translated into six languages: Japanese, German, Dutch, Spanish, Korean and Portuguese. Wicked has been seen by over 72 million people worldwide and has over $6.2 billion in global sales. 

The Broadway sensation Wicked looks at what happened in the Land of Oz…but from a different angle.  Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another young woman, born with emerald-green skin, who is smart, fiery, misunderstood, and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships…until the world decides to call one “good,” and the other one “Wicked.”

Based on the novel by Gregory Maguire, Wicked has music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, and a book by Winnie Holzman.  The production is directed by Tony Award winner Joe Mantello with musical staging by Tony Award winner Wayne Cilento.  Wicked is produced by Marc Platt, Universal Stage Productions, The Araca Group, Jon B. Platt and David Stone.
