Moonface Bert Newton dances into Rob Guest role in Wicked
November 03, 2008
MOONFACE Bert Newton has stepped in to play the Wizard in Wicked after the sudden death of star Rob Guest.
While producers have refused to confirm the 20 to 1 host, his co-star Rob Mills said the cast were excited to work alongside the industry veteran.
Newton was a good friend of Guest, who passed away suddenly last month following a massive stroke.
Mills said Newton was coping well with the physical role. "From what I hear he's doing really well with the dancing," the former Idol singer said.
