The Australian producers of Wicked have today confirmed that Todd McKenney will be travelling with the production post-Brisbane, to its final stop at Perth’s Crown Theatre. There, the actor will continue in the role of The Wizard, from the first day of performances on 15 December 2024, to the final performance set to be held on 2 February 2025. With this announcement, the final week of tickets have entered pre-sale, with public sales to commence 1 November 2024.
For those who have read about Courtney Monsma as Glinda and Sheridan Adams as Elphaba will be glad to know that both will also be continuing with the production into its final season. As too will Jennifer Vuletic as Madame Morrible, Liam Head returning to the role of Fiyero, Paul Hanlon as Dr Dillamond and Kurtis Papadinis as Boq.
John Frost of Crossroads Live, speaking on behalf of his co-producers, shared:
We are so excited with the calibre and talent of our lead cast, led by the wonderful Courtney and Sheridan. Todd, Jennifer and Paul have proved over and over again that they are incredibly gifted actors and audience favourites. Liam is fast becoming one of Australia’s leading young men on stage, and he is a tremendous Fiyero. Kurtis, at the beginning of his professional careers, is a wonderful Boq and we have no doubt he will become a huge star.
There is a reason WICKED has become one of the most loved musicals of all time, with its strong characters and story, soaring melodies and stunning sets and costumes. We can’t wait for it to open in Perth in December so audiences can fall in love with the show all over again.
