Oliver Tompsett
Oliver Tompsett is an acclaimed West End star. From playing William Shakespeare in
& Juliet
, and Edward Lewis in
Pretty Woman: The Musical
in September 2006, he was a part of the original
Wicked
London cast, led by Idina Menzel as Elphaba. After understudying Fiyero for a year, Tompsett took over the role from Adam Garcia, playing Fiyero from 2007 to 2010.
Following
Wicked
, Tompsett found himself in back-to-back rock musicals. In 2011, he played Drew Boley in the West End premiere of
Rock of Ages
at the Shaftesbury Theatre, alongside Simon Lipkin as Lonny, Shayne Ward as Stacee Jaxx, and Zizi Strallen. The following year, he took over as Galileo in
We Will Rock You,
continuing with the show to its eventual 2014 closure.
In 2017, Tompsett succeeded Killian Donnelly and David Hunter as Charlie Price in
Kinky Boots
. He then went on to originate a role, cast as William Shakespeare in
& Juliet
. He starred in the Manchester premiere, and continued in the West End show, performing from 2019 - 2023. In an
& Juliet
review on London Theatre
, our critic said: "There's also powerful vocal work from two of our best pop theatre performers, Oliver Tompsett and Cassidy Janson, as William Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway."
