Attention WICKED fans in the know!

Does anyone know if Wicked is coming to Sydney Australia??? If it does, it would be a billion dreams come true for me! Anybody got any evidence that remotely suggests it would come here? And could someone explain to me, what does it mean when they say there's going to be an "Adapted" Japense Wicked produciton? Would they do an "Adapted" one for Aus? I'd have given ANYTHING to have seen the OBC of it! For the many people who did see Idina and Kristin, DAM U ALL, IM SO JEALOUS!!!

If someone could please answer my questions, that would be fantastical!

when i did the behind the emerald curtain tour in new york in november, the wicked coming to london news was first announced. they also did say that it will open in australia after. london and australia were the only places they named.

"R U SERIOUS!!!! OH MY GOD!!!! I LUV U MATTY! MMMMMWAA XOXOXO!!! WOOOOO HOOOOO!!!! YEEEEEAAAHHH BABY!!!"

...so this is where we teens get our bad reputation when it comes to Wicked...

Look, don't put any blame on me for this "Teeny bopper" craze! I've been into musicals my entie life, litterally! Wicked just happens to be one i havnt seen live because it's modern and not in Australia yet. You guys should be so thankful that you have experianced the OBC and even been to Broadway! All I've ever wanted was to go to New York and be apart of the musical theatre scene. I would live on the streets of New York to do so! So if my enthusiasum makes you belive I'm just a "Teeny bopper" following a craze, you have no idea who i am and know nothing about me! Just because I'm excited about it coming to Australia doesn't make me a stupid "leader" of this teeny bopper thing, i didnt even know teens were into this musical in America! There are litterally only a handful of teens in Aus who know of Wicked and that because I've been sharing my love for this musical with them. People should be glad younger generations are becoming interested in musical theatre, it's the best form of entertainment there is!!!! "sadiem100" You can just shutup because as i said before you dont know anything about me so dont go genralising that I'm just some teen following a craze because you dont know what the hell your talking about!

For your information lizziecurry I'm 16 and have a job which has paid for my laptop so that just goes to show how eaisly you've assumed that teenagers don't work for they're own possesions, and my parents are a whole different story!

"Ah, but it's all about the presentation...
Consider how you come across here. It's all we've got to go by"

The way you present yourself (Your lame picture and your juvinile responses) arent doing you any favours what so ever, so I wouldn't talk about internet presentaion because as you said, its all we've got to go by!

I say if and when Wicked ever opens in Australia, I say there will be a 50/50 chance of if it will be Sydney or Melbourne.

Melbourne would proberly sell more tickets, but Sydney is proberly a better location for a slightly... err... 'more mainstream popular culture, less theatrical' type of show like Wicked or The Lion King, and then transfer to Melbourne when the steam finally runs out at Star Casino or a limited final hurruh. Or go on a National Tour if they producers can accept the facts that Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth don't tend to have large theatres (I was told that The Lion King isn't ever going to play in Brisbane simply because The Performing Arts Center (I think that is what it is called), the largest theatre in the city is still to small for such a show.

What can I say, Melbourne tends to be a little more... snobbish in its theatre going. By the same token, something like The Secret Garden or The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee couldn't of worked (as well) if it opened in Syd-en-ey first.

I don't mean to bag Wicked (though I cannot confess to having any great love for it), I just cannot think of a better word at this time of the night. Heck I don't even like The Secret Garden, lord knows why I am even using it for an example.

aussie-elphie: I hope it opens in Australia. Got relatives out there who are big fans of the play. Have they ever staged a musical at the famous Sydney Opera House? Where did they stage Miss Saigon?
