For Bailey, this would be a relatively quick return to the West End, as he completed a run at the Bridge Theatre earlier this year playing the title character in an adaptation of William Shakespeare<\/a><\/strong>\u2018s Richard II. The project was directed by Nicholas Hytner<\/strong>.<\/p>\nRelated: Wicked Writer Reveals Glinda Will Get Her Own Spin-Off, Confirms Origin Story Is In The Works<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\nFans Can Still See Bailey and Grande in Wicked: For Good<\/h2>\n
