Since being awarded a MO Award for Best New Talent in 1997, David Harris has become one of Australia’s leading men of musical theatre. He has starred in many of Australia’s top musical productions such as Miss Saigon (Helpmann Award and Sydney Theatre Award nomination), The Full Monty, Mamma Mia!, The Boy From Oz, Fiddler On The Roof and Damn Yankees to name just a few.

“David will make a wonderful Fiyero,” said Frost.

“He has proven himself to be the foremost leading man of his generation in musical theatre, with an impressive list of roles. He commands the stage with his warmth, charisma and charm, and acts with truthfulness and intensity. His powerful voice can convey great emotion, and he dances magnificently. David is a true ‘triple threat’. I can’t wait to see him on stage with Lucy Durack (as Glinda the Good) and Jemma Rix (as Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West).”

Harris is very excited to join the cast.

“Ever since I saw Wicked, I’ve wanted to be a part of this astonishing show. It’s one of those rare shows that has wide appeal, but also has something important to say. Fiyero goes on a fascinating journey throughout the show, and I feel very honoured to be cast in the role. I can’t wait to join the amazingly talented cast in the rehearsal room.”

Wicked, starring Lucy Durack, Jemma Rix, Bert Newton, Maggie Kirkpatrick and David Harris opens in Brisbane on January 11, before playing in Adelaide from April 15 and Perth from June 19.

Wicked One of the most successful shows in theatre history. When the Australian production of Wicked arrives in Brisbane it will have already played more than 866 shows in Sydney and Melbourne.

It is blitzing the Queensland box office with more than 70,000 tickets already sold.

Ms Rix is the star of Wicked the Musical which opens in Brisbane in January next year. “We are getting everyone aware of Wicked because we are going to Brisbane and I know it is still a little bit of a distance, but it is such a massive spectacle and a big event that we can’t unfortunately take it to every town,” Ms Rix said.

“We want to spread the word. It has been such a long running show it actually left us in Melbourne for about 14 months so it was like having a day job,” Mr Dobson said.

Wicked relates the untold story of the witches of Oz. Long before Dorothy drops in, two other girls meet in the land of Oz. One, born with emerald green skin, is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. Wicked tells the story of their remarkable odyssey; how these two unlikely friends grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good.

For Ms Rix landing the role of Elphaba was an amazing achievement for the performer who got her career start in various amateur musical theatre productions while growing up.

“It is one of those roles that everybody knows about in the musical theatre industry. A role that I think lots of people fought for and auditioned for and even in the audition process there were people that were dressing up; they weren’t actually green but they were trying to make themselves look like Elphaba.”
