The cast of Wicked painted the town green last night during their opening night party at the Sofitel, celebrating the biggest musical ever to hit Australian shores.
Arguably the largest event of its kind to be staged in Melbourne, this delightfully Wicked function proved that Melbourne sure know how to throw a party. Over 1700 guests were greeted with pink and green cocktails, setting the mood for the night to follow. Two of the Sofitel’s ballrooms were decorated to represent the two Witches of Oz, Elphaba and Glinda - The ‘green’ room, complete with mini Dragon Time Clock and green mood lighting, and a ‘pink’ room, adorned with mirrors and white drapes.
Amanda Harrison (Elphaba), Lucy Durack (Glinda) and the cast arrived in the Wicked an hour after the function began, and looked radiant after the thrill of an opening night standing ovation. Harrison was sporting over $90,000 worth of diamonds, and had a bodyguard with her all night, and Durack shone in a stunning red gown. Guests at the party included Chris Lilley (Summer Heights High), Sean Micalef, Jane Turner and Gina Riley (Kath And Kim), Peter Costello, Nikki Webster, Bree Amer (Big Brother) and Tim Campbell.
