It’s the story musical theatre nerds have been frothing over, everyone else, not so much. Which is why Em is here to rectify that ASAP ploise! Jemma Rix is one of Australia’s most loved leading ladies of musical theatre, having starred in the stage versions of ‘Frozen’, ‘Ghost’, ‘The Wizard of Oz’, and most famously as ‘Elphaba’ in ‘Wicked’. It’s no secret that ‘Wicked’ is Em’s emotional support musical, so when she heard that Jemma had stepped on stage to fill in as ‘Elphaba’ for one night last week, Em was pulling strings, calling in favours and making calls to get Jemma in to reveal the full heckers story. You see, Jemma hasn’t performed the role of ‘Elphaba’ for 9 years, but she somehow managed to rehearse and reacquaint herself with the role, then step on stage to perform the entire thing, with just 2 days notice! She only had a baby 9 months ago and suddenly she's centre stage with literally zero prep, HUZZAH!! It’s a Herculean effort and it’s a story that Em and Jemma will break down in so much detail, you’ll almost believe you were actually there with Jemma while she was going through it all. So strap yourself in for the full fascinating reveal of the ultimate musical theatre ‘Good For Her’ EVER!! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
