L Frank Baum's own namesake inspired the name of *Wicked's *protagonist slash antagonist, Elphaba (i.e.the initials L. F. B.). The current West End production of *Wicked* is directed by **Joe Mantello** and stars **Nikki Bentley** as Elphaba opposite **Helen Woolf** as Glinda.

The London cast of *Wicked* is completed by **Laura Pick** as a standby for Elphaba and **Lisa-Anne Wood** as a standby for Glinda.  Ferguson is currently covering for **Carina Gillespie** who is on maternity leave.
