I finally saw Wicked last night in Melbourne - and loved it. I agree with most of the points made here - including the emotion that Amanda Harrison packs into her performance without feeling the need to belt out every line - and I loved Lucy Durack as Galinda. However let's be honest - her performance is a moment-by-moment impersonation of Kristin Chenoweth in the role. Which is fine, because the role was written for Kristin, and she crafted it to perfection. So having not seen her play the role live, I did feel as though I was seeing the next best thing in Lucy Durack's performance. But I think to dismiss Amanda Harrison's performance in light of Lucy's dazzling and intelligent' interpretation of Galinda is unfair. I would call it "a delightful pastiche", admittedly carried out to perfection.
