KERRY ELLIS'S SEARCH FOR A STAR 2025

THE SEARCH

In 2024 Perform Ready set out on a search to find young performers to take to the stage with the West End legend Kerry Ellis.

Young performers from across the UK applied with one succeeding to tread the boards at each of Kerry's tour venues. 


2025 will see us embark on the search once more as Kerry's tour, which has now extended into it's second year, sees the curtain rise once more on the Queen of the West End. 

2024 saw over 400 applications, don't miss out on your chance to shine.

KERRY ELLIS

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 Theatre for 6 months, where she won the Broadway.com Audience Award for Favourite Female Breakthrough Performance, before returning to London for 6 months in 2009.

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.
