The tenth anniversary return season of WICKED to Melbourne’s Regent Theatre pulls no punches. It’s big budget wonderment overflowing with sumptuous costumes, a set design that demands gasps of delight, and singing that makes the goosebumps.

At 11.50am on October 15 1970, 35 men fell to their death as their place of work gave way from under them.
Heathers The Musical
Capturing the essence of its predecessor, Heathers The Musical is an absurdly comic production that doesn’t just walk the line of polite society but plans to blow it all up with reckless abandon.The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
