Calling all casual theatergoers and avid musical fans, we are pleased to announce that the highly anticipated Broadway musical WICKED is finally on route to Perth.
After sell out shows across Sydney, Melbourne and 16 countries worldwide, WICKED’s anticipated trip to WA's capital marks the very last stop for the Broadway blockbuster in this Australian tour (tear).
This world-renowned show is set to hit the stage of the charming Crown Theatre and trust us when we say you do not want to miss it. Hot tip: you can (and should) sign up for the ticket waitlist now to rest easy knowing you will receive first access to new tickets when they go on presale.
If you haven't set your eyes on this spectacle before, WICKED is the kind of production that feels surreal to watch, filled with memorable melodies, fantastical costumes (from the glamorous and glittering attire of Glinda to the dark and mysterious outfits of Elphaba) and the most whimsical set design to craft out Emerald City, Shiz University and the famed dark forests.
As the ultimate story of female friendship, WICKED is the prequel to The Wizard Of Oz and carried by some of the most well-known bops in the musical scene. If you happen to not be apart of the 67 million to have watched the show, December is the perfect time to see it.
Created by Gregory McGuire and with musical features by Stephen Schwartz, this highly technical stagecraft wizardry will leave you awestruck with an elaborate creation that arguably 'defy gravity'. And, with half a million followers on TikTok, this Grammy award-winning masterpiece should sit high on your list of must-sees in 2024 (whether you've seen it multiple times already or not).
Suitable for those aged eight all the way to 80, if there’s ever a time to get yourself acquainted (or reacquainted) with the critically acclaimed musical in question, this is it.
While you wait patiently for this award-winning spectacle to make its official touchdown, we recommend getting in the mood by asking Alexa to queue Defying Gravity. Don’t forget to put away your glassware when trying to hit that high note.
For all the details and to lock in your tickets before they sell out, head over here.
