Kerry will be singing some of the songs she helped make famous in the West End and Broadway together with some new material, in a first for Pembrokeshire, when she appears at Boulevard Theatre on September 30.

Kerry originated the role of Meat, in Queen’s We Will Rock You and was the first British Elphaba in the worldwide smash, Wicked, for which she won the 2008 Whatsonstage.com Award for ‘Best Takeover in a Role’. She then headed to Broadway to play Elphaba at the Gershwin Theater for six months. She continues her long-term working relationship with Sir Brian May, of Queen - and We will Rock You - fame.
They have toured the UK and Europe extensively and released their album Golden Days to great acclaim, and continue to work and record together.
