Former public schoolboy Will did not look out of place, in a play about repressed sexuality and the decadence and degeneracy of high society in the 1920s.

Will to take a trip to Oz? - Oct 12 2006
Is Will Young taking a trip to Oz?  It’s rumoured the Pop Idol winner is being lined up to star in new West End show Wicked, described as "the untold story of the Witches of Oz".

Will has apparently auditioned to play the male lead, a character called Fiyero, after the current actor’s contract ends in six months time.  And it seems show bosses are taking no chances when it comes to securing Will for the part.

The Sun reports the Mrs Henderson Presents star got the full VIP treatment when he popped in to watch the show.  "Will was treated like a king. Lucy Liu, who was in Charlie’s Angels, had been in to watch the show a couple of nights before and didn’t receive the same pampering," a source told the paper.  Will had the best seats and was put in the VIP room, something which isn’t the norm for celebrities.

"They’re really trying to woo him and he seems keen to get started with rehearsals."

It seems that this is one Pop Idol that’s living up to his name - take note Michelle, Steve and co.

Will cares - Feb 05
Can Will Young get any nicer? The caring singer has put his name to The Children’s Society Safe and Sound Campaign and is urging others to do the same.

Matthew 4 Will - August 04
Matthew Williamson got more than he bargained for when he invited Will Young to work with him. It was only a few weeks ago that Matthew was wishing he could work with Will Young and Will was wishing he had a boyfriend. But now, if rumours are to be believed, the pair are an item, having been spotted enjoying each others company numerous times. Will’s people have denied that the pair are anything but good friends but we really hope they’re bluffing!
