This was our WICKED night out! When I found out that Wicked was showing in Melbourne, I was esctatic! Dun ask me why but Vic said I would love this show as it was rather girlie with bimbo undertones.. haha...
Tried to get the tickets online but they were rather ex! AUD 189 for the front portion of the theatre and those right at the back were AUD 109 - 119. So B told me to get the tickets when we arrive to Melbourne. When we arrived Melbourne, I immediately got the concierge to help us get tickets for Wednesday night. They were going to cost us AUD 120 each. B said to hold on again and try our luck for tickets on Thursday. So we did. Early Thurs morning, went to Regent Theatre and the tickets that were available right right right behind. I was rather disappointed by then thinking I wouldn't get a chance to see the show. Then the nice lady behind the counter said that there were having the Wicked Lottery Draw at 6pm where winners will get to buy front row tickets at AUD 30! I immediately told B that we would have to come back and try our luck!
And so we did! When we arrived back at the theatre at 5.30, there was a small crowd. We estimated there was about 100 odd persons in the queue. So we waited patiently and hopefully for either B or my name to be announced... and YAY...they did announce my name. I was the 3rd person to win the pair of tickets... so we got FRONT ROW TICKETS TO WICKED FOR AUD60!!!! Yippee dee doo dah!! Maaaaaadnesssssss and Happppppynessss.......
I loved the cast of Wicked Australia. My fave character was Glinda (but, of course, what were you expecting?!!?). I loved her bubblegum personality and not to mention she reminded me of Anna Faris.. and when I looked at Elpheba, she somehow reminded me of Jennifer Garner in green.. haha..
Here are some pictures from Wicked that I got off their website....
