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. :)

Dobbed me in their Na,

Dobbed me in their Na, I'll just say Amanda Harrison is amazing. Her voice is just wow. I've heard so many screechy version of Defying Gravity that have turned me off Wicked, but hers was definitely not one of them. I had Lucy's understudy- and it was her first shot at the role and being on stage in Wicked- wouldn't have known the difference, she was great. Funny and bubbly really good performance by her. I've also heard Amanda's understudy is great too. Technically the show is great- sets and costumes amazingly lavish- costumes more than I thought they would be- and I loved a scene change (is that weird to come out of a show in love with a scene change) (PS: I don't know why they would deepen underneath the Capitol for WICKED...I'm not exactly sure what they store underneath the stage. I thought the majority of the set appeared to be brought in by by flys. I also know it to not be touring...and I believe there's two years contracts with the actors currently, if I can remember correctly from something I heard the other day) I think Mills will grow into the role as the season progresses. I found he had a fair bit of a difference between his 'acting' and his 'singing' voice and his accent was a bit shaky at times. But a duration of a long season will help him grow as a performer. We didn't have Callea at our performance either (there was the flu going round) but his understudy was good too. However you can't go past the leading ladies in this show- because it is mainly about them, and no matter who is playing them they seem to shine and get a great response from the audience. One thing that got me was the Wizard Of Oz- the booming head was something that scared me from the film version of the Wizard of Oz (I believe everyone has a childhood fear of SOMETHING from that film) and they managed to scare me again in Wicked with the Wizard.
