As an ardent fan of musicals and Jeff Goldblum, I must say that witnessing the Jurassic Park icon tickle the ivories at St Pancras Station was nothing short of magical! The man’s versatility never ceases to amaze me – acting, music, and now, surprising Londoners with an impromptu festive performance. It’s like he’s a modern-day Mister Rogers, but with a dash of chaos theory and a smidgen of prehistoric creatures.


On Wednesday, Jeff Goldblum surprised Londoners with a captivating, off-the-cuff holiday show at St Pancras Station.

In a bustling London train station, the actor moved to the piano, which was adorned with an enchanting Wicked-themed Christmas tree of brilliant green, and gave a memorable performance.

In the movie, Jeff, who plays The Wonderful Wizard of Oz character, performed a tune from Wicked prior to its debut on Friday, along with two timeless holiday melodies.

The star cut a smart figure for the performance in a long beige coat which he teamed with grey wool trousers. 

With unbridled joy, Jeff displayed his exceptional piano skills, eliciting thunderous applause from the enthusiastic audience witnessing his performance.

Besides being an accomplished actor, notably in the movie “Jurassic World”, this individual also showcases his musical prowess. As a member of The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra, he’s recognized for their modern adaptations of timeless jazz tunes and classic American songbook melodies.

After a remarkable show, Jeff was spotted engaging in lively conversations with both fans and passersby, all gathered around the festive Christmas trees decorated in green, a joint initiative with Universal Pictures to mark the release of Wicked.

The tree is crafted to harmonize with St. Pancras’s architectural style and boasts an oversized, handcrafted likeness of the Wicked Witch of the West’s head from “The Wizard of Oz” movie.

In the past, unexpected concerts by artists like Alicia Keys, Rod Stewart, Elton John, Craig David, among others, have taken place at St Pancras station, delighting unsuspecting commuters.

In 2012, during the grand celebration marking the 50th anniversary of the City of London Festival, the pianos were unveiled at St. Pancras International.

Since then, they’ve consistently been ready for play, as Elton John presented a piano to St. Pancras back in 2016. More recently, a kind gift of a Yamaha piano came from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Musicals.

On Tuesday evening, following Jeff, the star-studded duo Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo unexpectedly attended a screening that took place at Odeon in Leicester Square.

Jeff, Ariana, and Cynthia, the actresses portraying Glinda and Elphaba in the stage production, confidently strutted onto the screen, leaving moviegoers in awe as they unveiled the motion picture.

Yesterday, I was thrilled beyond words as I joined the star-studded cast at the UK premiere! Can’t wait to see them all on the big screen starting November 22, when it releases globally.

Speaking to the enthusiastic crowd, Cynthia, aged 37, expressed her gratitude for their attendance and shared, “We’re delighted you’re here tonight. We truly hope you’ll appreciate the film we have prepared for you.

As someone who has poured countless hours and emotions into this project, I can confidently say that it was filled with a myriad of feelings – from heart-wrenching tears to joyous laughter. But amidst all the highs and lows, I am incredibly proud to present this piece to you today. It’s been a labor of love, and I truly believe it reflects the best of me as an artist.

On the previous day, Ariana, aged 31, and Cynthia opted for a more casual look, donning black and cream coats, contrasting with the glamorous gowns they wore at the red carpet event.

In 2003, a stage adaptation of “Wicked,” which was inspired by Gregory Maguire’s 1995 novel, made its Broadway debut. This captivating production tells the story that takes place before Dorothy Gale arrived in Oz, as depicted in both “The Wizard of Oz” and the 1939 film classic.

As a devoted admirer, I’m thrilled to share that the enchanting musical production I’ve followed for two decades continues to captivate audiences. Now, it stands as the fourth longest-running Broadway show ever presented.

As a lifestyle expert looking back on the past years, I can share that whispers of a film adaptation have echoed since way back in 2012. However, it wasn’t until almost a full decade had passed that all the pieces fell into place and the project finally materialized.
