Lencia Kebede

Lencia Kebede is honored to continue living out her soul’s purpose on the Gershwin stage as Elphaba in Wicked.

As a proud first-generation Ethiopian-American, Lencia graduated from Occidental College majoring in Diplomacy & World Affairs and minoring in Politics.

Before Wicked, she spent five transformative years in Hamilton (Angelica Schuyler; previously Woman 5), toured nationally and internationally with Rent (Joanne), and sang backup for Beyoncé Knowles Carter.

Thank you to everyone who has ever believed in me. For the dreamers, the different, and the defiant – it’s our turn to fly.
