The cast will be led by two extraordinary young performers who have received stellar reviews for their roles in WICKED.

Since graduating from the Queensland Conservatorium, Courtney Monsma has quickly become an artist in demand, performing in SIX The Musical, Mamma Mia! and the Australasian tour of Aladdin. She is best known for starring as Princess Anna in the Australian tour of Disney’s Frozen, and appeared in the new Australian drama series Paper Dolls, in which she plays one of five aspiring singers who are thrust into the spotlight in pursuit of pop-stardom and fame. 
A graduate of the Victorian College of the Arts, Sheridan Adams has performed in the ensemble of Tick, Tick… Boom! and Cruel Intentions: The ‘90s Musical. Elphaba is Sheridan’s first leading role.
WICKED Australia Co-producer John Frost said, “The demand for tickets for WICKED in Perth has been extraordinary, with an outstanding waitlist. Audiences know that WICKED is one of the most lavish musical productions to have ever played in Australia, the full Broadway experience. With the lavish sets and opulent costumes, it’s a feast for the eye and the ear. If you have never seen WICKED, come and see it for the first time and be spellbound. If you have seen it before, I know you’ll want to come back and be enthralled all over again.”
Recently celebrating 20 years since its premiere on Broadway, WICKED remains one of the most successful and popular musicals in the world. Over 67 million people worldwide have seen this spectacular phenomenon, and WICKED has become the 4th longest running show in Broadway history.
Winner of over 100 major awards including the Grammy Award, the Olivier Award, six Helpmann Awards, three Tony Awards® and six Drama Desk Awards, WICKED is “A complete triumph! An original musical that will make you laugh, cry and think” (USA Today).
Long before Dorothy dropped in, two other young women meet in the land of Oz. One born with emerald-green skin is smart, fiery, misunderstood and possessing an extraordinary talent. The other is bubbly, blonde, ambitious and exceptionally popular. They become rivals, then friends…until the world decides to call one “good” and the other one “wicked.”
Based on the novel by Gregory Maguire, WICKED has music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, and a book by Winnie Holzman. The production features musical staging by Wayne Cilento with original direction by Joe Mantello. WICKED is produced in Australia by John Frost for Crossroads Live Australia, Marc Platt, Universal Pictures, The Araca Group, Jon B. Platt and David Stone.
