Due to huge demand, new performances have been released for the Perth season of Wicked, which was described by The New York Times as “Broadway’s biggest blockbuster.” Additional performances up until 26 January 2025 are on sale. The musical phenomenon will fly into Crown Theatre from 15 December as the final stop on its Australian tour.
The cast is led by two extraordinary young performers who have received stellar reviews for their roles in Wicked. Courtney Monsma will play Glinda, the bubbly, popular girl who becomes Glinda the Good, while Sheridan Adams will play Elphaba, the girl born with emerald-green skin who grows up to become the Wicked Witch of the West.
In just over 20 years since its premiere on Broadway, Wicked remains one of the most successful and popular musicals in the world. Over 67 million people worldwide have seen this spectacular phenomenon, and WICKED has become the fourth longest running show in Broadway history.
Wicked is winner of over 100 major awards including the Grammy Award, the Olivier Award, six Helpmann Awards, three Tony Awards® and six Drama Desk Awards.
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.”
Based on the novel by Gregory Maguire, Wicked has music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, and a book by Winnie Holzman. The production features musical staging by Wayne Cilento with original direction by Joe Mantello. Wicked is produced in Australia by John Frost for Crossroads Live Australia, Marc Platt, Universal Pictures, The Araca Group, Jon B. Platt and David Stone.
