Wicked - National Tour?

Well I have looked everywhere but I can't find a concrete source saying that Wicked will do a national tour (or at the least, if it will come to Brisbane). I have previously assumed that as it's an open season in Melbourne, they're not going to spread details about other cities until it's closing in Melbourne, but that's just an assumption. Does anyone on here have any confirmed details about where Wicked's going (no need for when)?

Thanks a lot,

the Dramatic Sunflower.

P.S. Sorry if this is in the wrong forum or has been discussed before. If it has...please point the way. :)

I've seen the show a few

I've seen the show a few times, and would recommend it to anyone. Thoroughly enjoyed all the cast, I was lucky enough to see both Amanda Harrison and her standby Jemma - they were both amazing - both stunning in different ways and both vocally fabulous! Loved Lucy Durak's comic timing, and her soprano has to be heard to be believed, a wonderful G(a)linda! Penny as Nessa was gorgeous, her scenes with Callea were teriffic and her transformation from act 1 to act 2 fabulous. Wish I could have heard more of her, she's definitley going to be a leading lady some day soon. Callea was better than I was expecting - he has the voice of course, but he also dances very well and acted convicingly - a very cute Boq. Mills was a better actor than he was a singer or dancer, not to say he was bad at all, he can sing quite well, but he is vocally 'light' compared to the rest of the cast and his dancing is not fluid - having said that, he was still enjoyable in a fun and flashy role. Maggie eats the scenery as Morrible, she's a fabulous actor and Rob G is a great Wizard, loved him - the ensemble are simply superb! Costumes and sets are out of this world, you can see where they spent all the money it took to bring it here.
