Skilled doctor and Wicked musical star Shewit Belay is inspirational as she wisely balances her life-and-death hospital position with the equally adrenaline-surging role as an onstage starlet. (Star and a doctor? Wicked!, 11/12). No doubt, doctors are multitalented in many of life’s skills, yet often find themselves absorbed into long hours and a tiring commitment to service which quickly becomes a full time focus in the competitive specialties. One can only give encouragement to Dr Belay as her second career turns out to be an excellent pastime, and not so Wicked at all. Alan Sexton, North Parramatta 12Dec2023.
