WEST END SUPERSTAR AND SINGER KERRY ELLIS PERFORMS AT THE FACTORY LIVE TO CELEBRATE LATEST ALBUM KINGS AND QUEENS
Kerry Ellis has fast become recognised as the leading lady of West End musicals from her starring roles in London and on Broadway. She has also achieved chart-topping success as a recording artist signed to Universal Decca with her debut album Anthems.
Kerry originated the role of Meat, in Queen’s We Will Rock You and was the first British Elphaba in the West End smash, Wicked, for which Kerry won the 2008 Whatsonstage.com Award for ‘Best Takeover in a Role’. She then immediately transferred to Broadway and played Elphaba at the Gershwin Theater, where she won the Broadway.com Audience Award for Favourite Female Breakthrough Performance.
Her many other leading role credits include Nancy in Oliver! at Drury lane, Eliza Doolittle My Fair Lady, Ellen in Miss Saigon and Fantine in Les Miserables.
Kerry’s first major CD release was the amazing Wicked in Rock, a collaboration with long time friend and Queen guitarist, Brian May. This led to her being signed to Universal as a solo recording artist and her debut album Anthems was released in 2010 on Decca Records.
The powerhouse pair have since gone on to record many tracks together, including Battlefield on her latest album Kings and Queens, and have toured extensively over the years. Kerry’s success as solo artist has seen her fill the London Paladium, Royal Albert Hall and major international venues across the globe.
Join us at The Factory Live for an intimate evening with one of the UK’s greatest West End Singers as Kerry charts through tracks from her latest record as well as musical favourites.
