Melbourne schließt, Sydney kommt

Curtain set to fall on Melbourne theatre hits

Robin Usher
May 14, 2009

ONE of the brightest periods in the history of Melbourne theatre might be coming to an end with the announcement the Australian premiere season of the Broadway musical Wicked will close at the Regent Theatre in three months.

Over the past 18 months, Melbourne has hosted profitable seasons of such money-spinners as The Phantom of the Opera, Priscilla: The Musical, Guys and Dolls and Billy Elliot (now in its closing weeks), enhancing the city's reputation as a theatre-loving town. Only the Monty Python spoof Spamalot failed to find an audience.

While another Broadway blockbuster, Jersey Boys, has begun rehearsals in the Princess Theatre ahead of its opening on July 4, the news of Wicked's transfer to Sydney after performing for 60 weeks, combined with the impact of the recession, is likely to mark the end of this series of back-to-back hits.

The Australian producer of the Wizard of Oz prequel, John Frost, said the decision to close in Melbourne was based on the availability of Sydney's Capitol Theatre for the next 12 months rather than any fall in sales.

"We have taken more than $50 million at the box office already and expect to have a strong final three months," he said. "I hope we will not be far away from paying back all the investors by then. Melbourne has been absolutely fantastic."

The costs and risks of mounting musicals are huge. Wicked cost $12.5 million to produce and about $600,000 a week to run. More than 500,000 tickets have been sold, of which about a quarter went to interstate and international visitors.

Frost said the only weak spot in the season was the "double whammy" of the impact of the bushfires combined with February's return to school.
