On Saturday WICKED cast its spell over Melbourne audiences as the Regent Theatre turned green inside and out for the opening of Broadway’s number one musical.

As Melbourne was bathed in green light in honour of the magical opening, the audience welcomed WICKED to Australian shores with a standing ovation.

Amongst the star-studded audience members who lit up the green carpet was Hollywood star Rachel Griffiths, singers Natalie Bassingthwaighte and Deborah Conway, actors Eddie Perfect, Lachy Hulme, Jacinta Stapleton and Melanie Vellajo, broadcaster Chrissie Swan, socialite Brynne Edelsten and entertainment veteran Patty Newton.
