In what is looking to be a wider Australian national tour from its origins as a Sydney exclusive, Crossroads Live Australia and the other producers of WICKED’s newest Australian tour has confirmed the musical will be making its home in Melbourne’s Regent Theatre starting March 2024.
Waitlists for the Melbourne season are now live via the musical’s official website, with tickets expected to go on pre-sale starting 16 October 2023. Should you miss out on the pre-sale, which typically only covers the show’s first few weeks, general public sales will commence on 20 October 2023.
Commenting on this announcement, Australian Co-Producer John Frost shared the following:
I’m thrilled we’re able to bring WICKED to Melbourne, and play at the beautiful Regent Theatre where Australia’s love for the show began. This is one of the most lavish musical productions to have ever played in Australia, the full Broadway experience. You get your money’s worth and then some, with the lavish sets and opulent costumes, a feast for the eye and the ear.
The new Australian cast is exceptional and has been embraced by WICKED fans. If you have never seen WICKED, come and see it for the first time and be spellbound. If you have seen it before, I know you’ll want to come back and be enthralled all over again.
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.”
