Final two weeks to catch WICKED at Perth’s Crown Theatre
WICKED has been casting its spell over Perth to ecstatic capacity audiences since December, but now there are only two weeks left to see the blockbuster production at Crown Theatre. The final Perth performances take place on Sunday 2 February before WICKED heads to Singapore.
The cast of “Broadway’s Biggest Blockbuster” (NY Times) is led by Courtney Monsma as Glinda, the bubbly, popular girl who becomes “Glinda the Good”, and Sheridan Adams as Elphaba, the girl born with emerald-green skin who grows up to become the “Wicked Witch of the West”.
Theatre and television favourite Todd McKenney is playing the Wizard, while the role of the conniving and manipulative Madame Morrible is played by Jennifer Vuletic. Rising star Liam Head is Fiyero, the handsome and seemingly shallow Winky Prince, with Paul Hanlon portraying Dr Dillamond, a goat and teacher at Shiz University.
Chelsea Dean plays Elphaba’s wheelchair bound sister Nessarose, and as the naïve, insecure and lovable munchkin Boq is Kurtis Papadinis. Zoe Coppinger is the Elphaba Standby.
The talented group of performers comprising the WICKED ensemble and swings includes Christian Ambesi, Brittany Carter, Olivia Castagna, Matt Cranleigh, Sage Douglas, Bayley John Edmends, Morag Hamilton, Matt Holly, Todd Jacobsson, Rohan Khanna, Elisha Zion Lee, Jordan Malone, Emily Monsma, Matilda Moran, Thomas Norman, Amelia Sanzo, Anthony Sheppard, Edward Smith, Ksenia Teliatnikova, Lucas Van Rhijn, Paul Watson, Mietta White, Seb Witt and Jun Woodfield.
More than 21 years since its premiere on Broadway, WICKED remains one of the most successful and popular musicals in the world. Winner of over 100 major awards including the Grammy Award, the Olivier Award, six Helpmann Awards, three Tony Awards® and six Drama Desk Awards, WICKED is “A Complete Triumph! An original musical that will make you laugh, cry and think” (USA Today).
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.”
