The five-year wait is almost over: the smash hit Broadway musical Wicked commences preview performances at the Regent Theatre in Melbourne on Friday night ahead of its gala opening on July 12.
Since premiering in America in 2003, Wicked has been an unstoppable success story, winning a swag of major awards and breaking box office records around the world.
The Australian production, which stars Amanda Harrison and Lucy Durack, is expected to run for at least a year in Melbourne before transferring to Sydney at some point late in 2009.
Bookings for the Melbourne season have already surpassed $9 million, an impressive effort for a show that hasn't even opened yet and has no track record in Australia.
Final preparations are underway for Friday's first performance.
