It's been a big year for Welsh actress Sophie Evans. The West End star, known for playing Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz musical and Glinda in the production Wicked, has moved back to Wales, tied the knot with professional rugby player Ellis Jenkins, stormed the Britian's Got Talent stage and announced the lovely news the couple are expecting their first child.
The 29-year-old also wrapped up playing Glinda at London's Apollo Victoria Theatre at the start of the year after more than 750 shows. Sophie had returned to the role for a six-month stint after the pandemic and saying goodbye was, understandably, an emotional one.
"I was really ready but obviously super emotional," Sophie explained. "Wicked was my ultimate favourite show, it was the show that inspired me as a teenager to kind of really pursue musical theatre. Never say never, but I don't think I'll go back to that role.
