“Oztacular”: The word that describes the reaction to the first showing of the Wicked production.
Theatre manager Raina Savage welcomed students from MIA schools to the show’s matinee, to first experience the visual, audio and emotional display.
“This is truly an extravagant, once in a lifetime experience for people in the Western Riverina.”
Griffith arts expert and social commentator Neville Dwyer described the show as “wickedly good”, and said it “rivals big city productions”.
He wasn’t the only onlooker impressed with the“ozmapolitan” performance, with students from Coleambaly Central School also giving rave reviews.
“We really enjoyed the show today and highly encouraged people to go,” Makelie Crowe said.
“Overall it was a great performance and it was absolutely amazing, come and check it out, it’s worth it”.
