Broadway blockbuster Wicked flies into Perth

Broadway blockbuster Wicked is flying into Perth later this year, landing at Crown Theatre in December for the final stop on its Australian tour.

Recently celebrating 20 years since its premiere, Wicked is one of the most successful and popular musicals in the world. Winner of over 100 major awards, including the Grammy Award, the Olivier Award and six Helpmann Awards, Wicked has bewitched over 65 million people worldwide.

“I’m thrilled we’re able to bring Wicked to Perth’s wonderful Crown Theatre,” Wicked Australia Co-producer John Frost said. “Wicked is one of the most lavish musical productions to have ever played in Australia—the full Broadway experience. With the lavish sets and opulent costumes, it’s a feast for the eye and the ear. 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.”

Based on the novel by Gregory Maguire, Wicked has music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and features musical staging by Wayne Cilento with original direction by Joe Mantello.

Wicked is showing at Crown Theatre from December 2024. For more info and to buy tickets, head to wickedthemusical.com.au
