Wicked reviewed in Australia

Calling Wicked a “theme park ride of a mega musical,” writer Michael Finn found plenty to appreciate during a recent staging of the production in Melbourne. It’s hard not to be impressed–before the hit musical even begins, showering you with light shows, special effects, believable characters and catchy songs, there’s a massive mechanical dragon floating over the stage, peering out at the audience. During the show, the dragon will snort smoke and wriggle about, another eye-pleasing little turn that this amazing play offers.

Here’s a colorful graph describing the colorful production: “Wicked is at times like a tornado, it whips you into a fast paced, surreal experience with tenacious music driving the danger and unpredictability. The closing of the first Act soars to dizzying heights, not only musically but also with an exhilarating sense of fear and anticipation.”

Truer words were never written. And you can experience all that fun as well, with a few theater tickets. Get Wicked tickets at Stubhub.com.
