Foxtel this afternoon filmed a special event with the cast of the forthcoming Australian production of Wicked at its North Ryde studios.
The three-and-a-half hour taping included performances by Amanda Harrison (Elphaba), Lucy Durack (Glinda), Anthony Callea (Boq) and Rob Mills (Fiyero). Rob Guest hosted the event, labelled An Audience With The Cast Of Wicked, while Maggie Kirkpatrick also appeared.
The special, to be aired on July 5 on Foxtel's W Channel, was filmed in front of an audience of about 150, made up of competition winners and celebrities, including Antonia Kidman and Nikki Webster.
Apart from the performances (which included 'The Wizard And I', 'Popular', 'For Good' and 'As Long As You're Mine') there was a series of interviews as well as questions from the audience and comments from co-producer John Frost.
Durack wore a stunning pink dress, while Harrison was in her now trademark green.
Durack and Harrison spoke of how emotional the journey has been for them so far, with both shedding tears during the rehearsal process. Durack told of an incident just days ago in which the pair found themselves in a quiet area crying after rehearsing an emotional scene. "But then we went shopping," Durack quipped.
