Ellis originated the role of Meat in Queen's We Will Rock You, and was the first British Elphaba in the West End's Wicked. She then transferred to Broadway and played Elphaba at the Gershwin Theatre for six months, before returning to London for another six-month stint in 2009. Her many other leading role credits include Nancy in Oliver! at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady, Ellen in Miss Saigon and Fantine in Les Miserables.
Her debut album "Anthems" was released in 2010 on Decca Records; it led to a major tour, Anthems with Brian May of Queen. Ellis also starred in 2012's Arena tour of Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds, alongside Jason Donavan and Ricky Wilson.
