Wicked auditions

Does anyone know if you can still audition for Wicked? I know it's started, but if it tours or if it stays in Melbourne for years on end, how does one get a shot at auditioning after it has been cast the first time round? If someone could advise who to contact, I'd be grateful.

Generally speaking, once it's cast it's cast. Given the high profiles of most of the performers, I doubt you would be able to get a large role anyway. My advice: if you don't have one, get an agent, then find out. If you do, ask them to find out. You can also see if you can find out more info from the producers of the show/their casting agent. Don't forget that big musicals often have a number of understudies who often perform as well, which means that if they do replace actors, they'll be calling from that pool first.

Like any professional show, the performers have a contract - usually 12 months, can lbe less depending on the show. Once the contract is finished the performer then has their choice to renew their contract, unless it is not offered to them again, it is at this point that the sow will then have new auditions depending on which cast members are staying/leaving. I would highly recommend getting an agent, as they will be notified when the auditions are, and they can submit you for it! As far as WICKED goes tho, it will probably be at least 9 months before they start auditions again!
