“You are constantly in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
We’re sending you all our love and strength”, said WICKED’s two leading ladies
Jemma Rix and Suzie Mathers. Jay Laga’aia who plays the Wizard said, “I would like
to add my voice to the many who are wishing you a speedy recovery, not only of
