Carrie Sutton cast in The Wizard of Oz

Oct 1st

Posted by Wizard in Carrie Sutton

Actress Carrie Sutton has been cast in The Wizard of Oz with a  contract up until early 2012 according to The Scunthorpe Telegraph .

“I’m looking forward to working with Andrew Lloyd Webber for the first time and Michael Crawford who is playing the wizard. The London Palladium feels like my second home. The Wizard of Oz will be my third performance here and I have a contract until early 2012.”

Carrie Sutton is currently in Sister Act and has been working with Sheila Hancock and Whoopi Goldberg at The London Palladium, the exact same theatre where The Wizard of Oz will open in 2011. She has also been in Cabaret, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Imagine This.

Carrie has done a lot of chorus work and understudying lead roles so far in her career but what will be her role in The Wizard of Oz? If Hannah Waddigham is confirmed as the WIcked Witch then would probably leave Carrie the role of Glinda, the Good Witch.

    I forecast children being taken screaming from the theatre! She's worse than Cruella Deville and on a par with the evil stepmother in Snow White!
