Been looking for a potential date to go and see the incoming Sydney season of WICKED? Rejoycify, as the production’s Australian producer Crossroads Live has confirmed new tickets are going on-sale this week. With pre-sales starting today and general public sales commencing on Friday, you will be able to book tickets for performances from 22 September to 15 October 2023. This includes the coveted school holidays periods.
A prequel to a similar story about a young girl whisked away to a magical world, a tale of good witches and wicked witches and a journey to see a wizard, Wicked puts everything you know about the literary and film classic. 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.”
Commenting on ticket sales to this point, this is what John Frost for Crossroads Live had to say:
We’re thrilled that Sydney has embraced WICKED and tickets are flying out the door. A proven blockbuster all around the world since it premiered, it has become one of the most loved musicals of all time and we can’t wait for it to open in Sydney in August. WICKED is a musical phenomenon and appeals to everyone from 8 to 80.
People love it for so many different reasons – some come for the engrossing story, some for the astonishing sets and costumes, some for the soaring ballads, some for the deeper messages, and some to see the life-affirming friendship between the two young women who grow up to be Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
WICKED will commence from 25 August 2023 at the Sydney Lyric Theatre. At the moment there are no announced plans for a full Australian tour, but this announcement may come later. Information on booking tickets can be found HERE.
