Wicked, the multi award winning blockbuster musical has just opened in Brisbane at QPAC for the second time in 4 years.

In celebration of this musical spectacular blowing into town, the Lord Mayor Graham Quirk, along with Simon Gallaher who is the show’s new Wizard Of Oz, transformed Brisbane into the Emerald City by lighting up the major landmarks around town.

Our QLD correspondent Bobbi-Lea was there to witness the event, and was granted an audience with the Wizard to talk all things Oz.

Wicked is now playing in the Lyric Theatre at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre until April 19.
