\nThe Melbourne childcare worker attended her 100th viewing of the mega-successful stage musical Wicked at the Capitol Theatre last night after making her ninth journey to Sydney.<\/p>\n

The 38-year-old, along with friend Vanessa Hill, said she had no problem with forking out what has been about $10,000 in tickets since the show’s opening back in 2008, having paid for every seat except last night’s century milestone, which was covered by producer John Frost.<\/p>\n

“In some ways, it is expensive but I don’t really go out … I work full-time and I don’t drink or smoke so it’s a way to have some fun,” she said.<\/p>\n

“It’s worth it because it’s one of those things … if you are having a bad day you come out with a smile on your face.”<\/p>\n

Pettiford said she keeps coming back for the songs and the storyline. “I can sit there from the start to the end and I never get bored,” she said.<\/p>\n

And her Wicked obsession is showing no signs of waning.<\/p>\n

“It’s going to Brisbane,” she said. “So I’ll probably fly up for the opening and maybe a few shows after that. And then it goes to Adelaide so I may see a few performances there as well.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
