WOW - has this been finalesed? I think thats fantastic and they are all extremely strong and will do outstandanding in their roles. But just something i think i will bring up; Do you often feel like the same people are getting ALL the work in the MT industry here in australia? dont get me wrong these people are incredible, but sometimes i wonder that there are other people out there just as talented, who have gone through these amazing courses at PA academies etc. yet the same people are given most of the top work here in the bus. I suppose it all comes down to 'whose' best for the role and production as a whole, and 'whose' going to give them the most ticket sales, and all of that is fine - its life - but it just struck me as i red those names that seem to be re-apearing non-stop in the casts of most big australian musical theatre shows. This has no intention of offense to the people above, i persoanlly idolise each of them immensley for their talent and contribution to the industry, just raising my opinnion. But other than that, WICKED AUSTRALIA is going to be fantastic! i cant wait to fly over to melbourne and see!! Ben
