Though “Wicked” has long since left Chicago, cast members from the show will be performing on June 28 at the annual “Taste of Chicago”. It is unknown who will be performing, but this article confirms that the show will be represented at the 6:00 PM concert.

Rachel Tucker (current Elphaba – West End) will be representing “Wicked” at West End Live this Saturday, performing a song from the show (probably The Wizard and I, although this is not confirmed).

The vast majority of West End shows participate every year, and the full line up can be seen on the official website here.

It has been confirmed that Ms. Tucker will be performing at 11:30AM on the Saturday. The event is entirely free; however, as there are generally long queues to get in, it would be advisable to arrive early! Ms. Tucker will still be performing at the “Wicked” matinee that day as scheduled.
