We're back with a special WICKED episode!
Theatre journalist Lisa Martland (Musical Theatre Review) joins West End Frame Editor Andrew Tomlins to dive into the latest updates about the Wicked movie and stage production.
First up, they break down all the big Wicked movie news—Oscar nominations (and snubs!), behind-the-scenes updates from Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande on the highly anticipated new songs and the latest records the film has shattered. Plus, they share their own personal reflections on the film's journey so far.
But that’s not all! Andrew and Lisa discuss the exciting West End cast changes, with Emma Kingston, Zizi Strallen and Carl Man stepping into the iconic roles of Elphaba, Glinda, and Fiyero. They also talk about Wicked London introducing an alternate Elphaba and the new Broadway casting news that Lencia Kebede and Allie Trimm are taking over as Elphaba and Glinda, with Lencia making history as Broadway’s first full-time Black Elphaba.
2025 is going to be positively emerald!

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
