Natalie Daradich and Vicki Noon worked their way up from the ensemble to achieve starring roles in the Second National Tour of the musical Wicked, which arrives at Little Rock’s Robinson Center Music Hall for a two-week run.

Good friends, Daradich, who plays Glinda, and Noon, who plays Elphaba, had risen to standby status for their respective roles in the West Coast company, in Los Angeles and San Francisco, before joining the tour a month apart this past spring – Daradich on March 10 and Noon on April 6.

Wicked will perform in Little Rock AR through November 14, 2010.
