It’s one of the biggest Broadway blockbusters in the world. More than 65 million people worldwide have seen this spectacular show, and it’s now the 4th longest-running show in Broadway history.
WICKED The Musical is the untold true story of the Witches of Oz and it’s flying into Perth to play at Crown Theatre in December.
Long before Dorothy dropped in, two other young women meet in the land of Oz. One born with emerald-green skin is smart, fiery, misunderstood, and possessing an extraordinary talent. The other is bubbly, blonde, ambitious, and exceptionally popular. They become rivals, then friends — until the world decides to call one “good” and the other one “wicked.”
Time Magazine called it “A magical Broadway musical with BRAINS, HEART and COURAGE.”
The Australian Financial Review, finally talking about something more exciting than Australia’s richest people, said “Exquisite comic timing, impressive, magical.”
It’s won more than 100 major awards including the Grammy Award, the Olivier Award, six Helpmann Awards, three Tony Awards, and six Drama Desk Awards. It’s a show that is pretty much guaranteed to provide an entertaining night out, taking us back to our childhoods, and giving us a bit of humour.
WICKED Australia Co-producer John Frost told So Perth, “I’m thrilled we’re able to bring WICKED to Perth’s wonderful Crown Theatre. WICKED is one of the most lavish musical productions to have ever played in Australia, the full Broadway experience. With the lavish sets and opulent costumes, it’s a feast for the eye and the ear. If you have never seen WICKED, come and see it for the first time and be spellbound. If you have seen it before, I know you’ll want to come back and be enthralled all over again.”
