The stellar Australian cast is led by Queenslander Courtney Monsma as Glinda the Good, and in her debut in a lead role, Sheridan Adams is Elphaba.
Robyn Nevin plays the role of Madame Morrible, Todd McKenney is the Wizard, Brisbane’s own Liam Head plays Fiyero, Adam Murphy is Dr Dillamond, Shewit Belay plays Nessarose, Kurtis Papadinis is Boq, and Zoe Coppinger is the Elphaba Standby.

“I’m thrilled we’re able to bring ‘Wicked’ to Brisbane’s wonderful Lyric Theatre where two past seasons totally sold out,” Co-Producer John Frost says. “’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.”
“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.”
This musical has played in 16 countries around the world, including Japan, South Korea, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, The Philippines, New Zealand, Mexico, Brazil, Germany, the Netherlands and the UK. It’s now the fourth longest-running show in Broadway history.
