Ashleigh Gray

Ashleigh Gray is a Scottish actress and musical theatre performer best known for playing Elphaba in the London and UK & Ireland touring productions of Wicked.

[2] In 2004, Gray made her professional début as Kim in the UK national tour of the Boy George musical Taboo.

In 2006, she appeared in NHS the Musical at the Drum Theatre Plymouth and covered Rizzo and Jan in the UK national tour of Grease.

Soon enough, Ashleigh made a special one-night return to the role for the evening performance of 28 October 2010, due to the indisposition of all the current Elphaba's at the time.

She then became the emergency cover Elphaba, for the 18 February 2011 performance, in which Davis-Jones, Gray's replacement, left mid-first act due to illness, and the current understudy was not rehearsed.

The concert also featured Louise Dearman, Patina Miller, Sierra Boggess, Jodie Jacobs, Alex Gaumond and Hadley Fraser.

Recent credits include The West End Men alongside Lee Mead, Ramin Karimloo and Stephen Rahman Hughes.

Gray joined a West End Repertory Cast to present three brand new musicals as part of the 'From Page to Stage' Season at the Landor Theatre from 25 to 27 February 2014.

[6][7][8][9] Gray and John Barrowman recorded a duet "Bridge Over Troubled Water" on his latest album You Raise Me Up which was released towards the end of June 2014.
