The fabulous Kerry Ellis - dubbed The First Lady of Musical Theatre - is coming to Pembrokeshire in the autumn, with a special one-off concert at Boulevard Theatre, in Milford Haven - and a Meet and Greet session for those superfans.
Kerry will be singing some of the songs she helped make famous in the West End and Broadway together with some new material, in a first for Pembrokeshire, when she appears at Boulevard Theatre on September 30. She is widely recognised as the leading lady of West End and Broadway musicals, with a number of starring roles in London, New York and around the world, and she has achieved chart-topping success as a recording artist too, signed to Universal Decca and Sony Music.
Kerry originated the role of Meat, in Queen’s We Will Rock You and was the first British Elphaba in the worldwide smash, Wicked, for which she won the 2008 Whatsonstage.com Award for ‘Best Takeover in a Role’. She then headed to Broadway to play Elphaba at the Gershwin Theater for six months. She continues her long-term working relationship with Sir Brian May, of Queen - and We will Rock You - fame.
They have toured the UK and Europe extensively and released their album Golden Days to great acclaim, and continue to work and record together. Her other leading role West End credits include Grizabella in Cats, Nancy in Oliver!, Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady, Ellen in Miss Saigon, Fantine in Les Miserables, Sara in Murder
Ballad and Alice in Wonderland. In 2022 she played Reno Sweeney in Anything Goes at the Barbican, toured arenas across the UK with Queen Machine and headlined a huge concert in Japan, on its biggest TV network.
She is one of the most sought-after singers in the UK, and performs her concerts all over the world - and now she’s coming to Pembrokeshire. Kerry has also released four seasons of her highly successful podcast Keep Calm and Kerry On, and recently released her autobiography, From Bumpkin to Broadway.
