Since being awarded a MO Award for Best New Talent in 1997, David Harris has become one of Australia\u2019s leading men of musical theatre. He has starred in many of Australia\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

“David will make a wonderful Fiyero,” said Frost.<\/p>\n

“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 \u2018triple threat\u2019. I can\u2019t wait to see him on stage with Lucy Durack (as Glinda the Good) and Jemma Rix (as Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West).”<\/p>\n

Harris is very excited to join the cast.<\/p>\n

“Ever since I saw Wicked, I\u2019ve wanted to be a part of this astonishing show. It\u2019s 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\u2019t wait to join the amazingly talented cast in the rehearsal room.”<\/p>\n
