Wicked star Jeff Goldblum gives surprise musical performance at St Pancras International

Jeff Goldblum surprised visitors at St Pancras International today with an impromptu performance on the station piano.

The Wicked star, who plays the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, stopped station visitors in their tracks with his impressive musical performance.

The surprise appearance comes just days after the Wicked premiere took over London’s Southbank Centre ahead of its release this coming Friday (November 22.)

In addition to being a world-renowned actor and pop culture icon, Goldblum is a talented musician, performing as part of The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra, his band known for their contemporary arrangements of classic jazz and American songbook standards.

To the thrill of Christmas crowds at St Pancras, Goldblum brought a moment of magic to one of London’s busiest stations with an intimate piano performance of a song from Wicked, as well as two classic Christmas tunes.

In taking to the St. Pancras piano, Goldblum followed in the footsteps of Grammy award winners Alicia Keys and Nora Jones, and dynamic duo Rod Stewart and Jools Holland, who performed at St. Pancras International.

Other world-class performers to have graced the famous St. Pancras piano include internationally acclaimed music giants Elton John and John Legend. 

Wendy Spinks, Chief Commercial Officer at St. Pancras International and HS1 Ltd said: “Our station is proud to be known as a hot spot for musical performances, creating an exciting and lively experience for travellers and shoppers alike.

“This festive season our station has become a hub for all things Wicked with our beautiful Christmas tree inspired by the film of the season. We were delighted to host Jeff Goldblum, who has surprised our visitors and fans of the film with his electrifying performance.”
