Stars of Wicked, the Broadway musical which is currently performing to sell out audiences at Melbourne’s Regent Theatre, will be performing at the Light the Night charity concert on Monday November 10 at 7.30pm at the City Recital Hall, Angel Place.
Amanda Harrison (who plays Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West) and Lucy Durack (Glinda the Good) will perform a song from Wicked in public in Sydney for the first time. Also performing at Light the Night will be Anthony Callea (who plays Boq), Penny McNamee (Nessarose) and Maggie Kirkpatrick (Madame Morrible).
Now in its fourth year, Light the Night has become an extremely popular annual concert, raising funds for leukaemia research and the Arrow Bone Marrow Transplant Foundation.
Amanda, Lucy, Anthony, Penny and Maggie will join other performers giving freely of their time for this worthy cause. Those already confirmed are singer/songwriter Lior, country stunners the McClymonts, television and musical star Tim Campbell, the inimitable Maria Venuti, jazz star Emma Pask with Phil Stack, All Saints actor Virginia Gay, winner of the 2008 Rising Star competition Erin Cornell, and musical theatre divas Margi de Ferranti, Emma Powell and Francesca Arena.
Light the Night is inspired by Matthew Rennie, a brave young man who fought a three year battle against leukaemia. Unfortunately Matthew passed away in late October last year, shortly before the 2007 concert. Light the Night was created by Matthew’s two brothers, musical theatre performers Shaun Rennie and Adam Rennie, and friends Monica Smith and Greg Smith.
