Kerry Ellis presale codes

This special bill unites Kerry Ellis, Louise Dearman, and Rachel Tucker for a night that leans into Wicked, rock crossovers, and rich trio harmony.

Three paths, one arc

Ellis brings the arena-ready sheen she honed with Brian May, Dearman adds agile character color, and Tucker anchors with Belfast grit and story-first phrasing.

Songs fans hope to hear

Expect a spotlight pass between them, with likely numbers like Defying Gravity, Me and the Sky, No One But You (Only the Good Die Young), and As Long As He Needs Me. The room usually skews multigenerational: voice students trading notes, longtime theater fans in smart black with a flash of emerald, and curious rock listeners drawn by Ellis. One neat detail: Dearman is the only West End actor to have played both Glinda and Elphaba in Wicked. Another: Tucker first broke wide on the BBC series I'd Do Anything, before originating Beverley Bass in London's Come From Away. Ellis has recorded with Brian May, and her Anthems cuts often inform the show pacing and guitar choices. These song picks and production expectations are educated guesses from past tours, not confirmed notes.

Emerald Threads and Big Notes

This crowd reads like a reunion of voice studios, theater families, and pop-rock fans who learned about these singers by word of mouth. You will spot emerald scarves, tour tees from Wicked or Come From Away, and a few We Will Rock You pins near the lapel.

Signals in the room

People swap favorite cast recordings before the lights drop, and compare which riff choices they hope to hear on the big notes. During ballads the room stays very still, with brief bursts of applause landing after a clean sustain rather than mid-line. Expect a gentle singalong on chorus hooks, but deference to solos when the storytelling gets tight.

How the night moves

Merch skews classy: a foil Gravity print, a trio poster for signatures, and tracklists that nod to both theatre and crossover cuts. Post-show, fans trade photos of signed programs and chat about which arrangement surprised them most on the night. It feels like a scene that roots for craft, not volume for its own sake.

Belts, Blends, and Smart Rewrites

The music breathes first, with piano and rhythm section giving each singer a clear lane.

Built for the voice

Kerry Ellis tends to ride a focused belt, while Rachel Tucker favors a grounded mix that blooms on long lines, and Louise Dearman shapes phrases with nimble shifts between chest and head. Trio moments often move from unison to stacked thirds, then open up on the last chorus for a lifted finish. Tempos stay honest to the story, with ballads taking time for air and uptempo cuts pushed just enough to feel live. They like medleys that trade the lead around, so you may hear a verse handoff before a shared tag.

Small tweaks, big payoff

A neat wrinkle: Ellis sometimes borrows Brian May's rock-leaning Defying Gravity arrangement, with guitar lines shadowing her melody to punch the refrain. Another habit is a final key lift on a reprise, saving the true top note for only one singer so the blend stays warm. Lighting frames the voices in jewel tones, keeping focus on faces and hands rather than big spectacle.

Kindred Voices on the Road

If this night hits for you, Idina Menzel is an obvious neighbor, sharing Wicked lineage and a pop-forward solo show.

Nearby voices on the map

Lea Salonga brings crystal phrasing and story detail that appeal to fans who prize clean lines and emotional clarity. Ramin Karimloo and Sierra Boggess serve the big-voice, legit-meets-contemporary lane with band-forward staging. Sutton Foster overlaps on charm and rhythmic snap, leaning into bright tempos and conversational patter.

Why the overlap matters

All sit in the space where theater craft meets concert energy, and their crowds value vocals first.
