Blockbuster musical ‘Wicked’ is heading to Melbourne in March 2024
WICKED has been casting its spell over Sydney for the past six months, drawing ecstatic capacity audiences, earning five-star critic reviews, and sparking enthusiastic praise on social media. The Sydney Morning Herald declared WICKED “Ingenious and beautiful,” while Australian Stage hailed it as “Triumphant, a dazzling, spectacular production.” Limelight applauded the “Razzle-dazzle spectacle, uplifting girl-power,” and the Australian Financial Review lauded the “Exquisite comic timing, impressive, magical.” Studio 10 raved, “Absolutely incredible. Extraordinary.”
Celebrating over two decades since its Broadway premiere, WICKED continues to be one of the world’s most successful and beloved musicals. With over 100 major awards under its belt, including the Grammy Award, the Olivier Award, six Helpmann Awards, three Tony Awards®, and six Drama Desk Awards, WICKED is hailed as “A Complete Triumph! An original musical that will make you laugh, cry, and think” by USA Today.
Having graced stages in 16 countries worldwide, from Japan and South Korea to Germany and the UK, WICKED has become the 4th longest-running show in Broadway history, surpassing even CATS. The novel Wicked by Gregory Maguire, on which the musical is based, has sold a staggering 5.5 million copies, with 5 million of those sold since the musical’s opening in 2003.
The Australian production boasts a stellar cast, led by Courtney Monsma as Glinda and Sheridan Adams as Elphaba, alongside a talented ensemble. This musical extravaganza takes audiences on a journey to the land of Oz long before Dorothy’s arrival, exploring the complex friendship between two young women – one destined to be “good,” the other deemed “wicked.”
WICKED has garnered high praise not only for its captivating storyline but also for its exceptional production values. Described by The Australian as “A POWERFUL PIECE OF THEATRE,” it promises an unforgettable and visually stunning theatrical experience.
Produced in Australia by John Frost for Crossroads Live Australia, Marc Platt, Universal Pictures, The Araca Group, Jon B. Platt, and David Stone, WICKED is set to weave its magic in Melbourne from 2 March onwards. Secure your tickets early, and be part of the WICKED phenomenon!
The $20 tickets go on sale at 8 am on Wednesday, 7 February at the Regent Theatre. Find out more here.
