Jacob Young Joins West End’s Wicked as Fiyero

The West End production of *Wicked* has announced a significant casting update for the pivotal role of Fiyero. Swansea-born actor Jacob Young is set to take over the coveted part at the Apollo Victoria Theatre, with his tenure scheduled from February 10 until May 17. This change comes as the current Fiyero, Carl Man, prepares to make his Broadway debut, transitioning to the New York production of *Wicked* where he will assume the role from March 3. Young brings a wealth of stage experience to the role, having previously appeared in popular musicals such as *Mamma Mia!*, *Heathers*, and the UK tour of *Grease*. His arrival marks a new chapter for the character in the long-running London show, which recently celebrated its impressive 7500th performance at the Apollo Victoria Theatre, a testament to its enduring popularity and success. Young will join the existing cast, which includes other prominent performers, continuing the show’s tradition of vibrant and dynamic performances.
