A controversial recording featuring a performance by Amanda Harrison and Lucy Durack during Friday night's first preview of Wicked has found its way onto the internet.
The good quality audio featuring Harrison's show-stopping number as Elphaba, 'Defying Gravity', was posted on video sharing website YouTube within 24 hours of Friday's preview performance.
The file is most likely illegal as recording of the show from the audience is strictly prohibited.
In addition to the 'Defying Gravity' clip, there is also audio of Penny McNamee as Nessa, posted by the same user from the same preview performance on Friday.
It is a sign of modern technology, and illegal copies of the Broadway version of Wicked, filmed from the audience, have been floating around for some time.
The audio clips have created a flurry of user comments on the website, potentially hurting the entire point of previews.
