CLOC MUSICAL THEATRE’S PRODUCTION OF

President’s Note:It gives me great pleasure as the President of CLOC to welcome you to “Oz” to experience the magic of Wicked.The announcement of each new show is the beginning of an exciting and rewarding journey that reaches a fitting finale in what you see tonight. While you see 33 people on the stage, what you don’t see are the nearly 250 people off the stage who come together, offering their talents, time and experience in creating the high level of artistic and technical excellence of which CLOC is so justifiably proud.The size of a production such as Wicked can never be underestimated – from sets, costumes, wigs, lights, sound, special effects, orchestra, and of course the cast, each department has blended together because of a love of theatre that keeps them coming back and striving to keep producing these high quality productions for you – our loyal patrons.CLOC is always on the look out for dedicated people to join us in assisting to mount our productions, so if you are interested and want to experience this magic, please get in contact with us through our website – we’d love to hear from you.For a production of this grand scale we are delighted to reunite the team that did such a magnificent job on our sell-out season of Mary Poppins last year. Heading the creative team are Chris and Lynette White (Co-Directors/Choreographer), who together with Danny Forward (Musical Director) have brought together a stellar cast of talented individuals who give justice to the vocally demanding score.We are excited to welcome back Vicky Horne in Costume Design after her recent Music Theatre Guild Award win for her work on Mary Poppins and Chris White (again doing double duty) who has outdone himself with a jaw dropping set design, along with Brad Alcock (Lighting Design) and Marcello Lo Ricco (Sound Design), who each bring amazing skill and perfection to this production.As you prepare to enjoy this very special performance, we invite you back again in October as we present the rock classic Jesus Christ Superstar. But for now, sit back, relax and come with us to the Emerald City and experience the story of what happened before Dorothy came to Oz.

Cameron Osborne President

Direction Team’s Note:Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman’s collaboration for Wicked undoubtedly produced an extremely marketable product. This became abundantly clear with the unprecedented number of auditionees last November, all with a thorough knowledge and almost fanatical love for the show. This early indication heralded our induction as directors into a passion and enthusiasm for the piece which seemed boundless and extraordinary.While admittedly finding some difficulty with the convolutions of Maguire’s original story and Holzman’s interpretation, it undoubtedly had all the proven elements of entertainment, with generous doses of good and evil, political corruption, clashing personalities, romance and unrequited love, not to mention revenge, violence and witchcraft. We think its real strength, however, lies in a masterfully thematic musical score, with powerful and evocative melodies and orchestrations which describe the power of supernatural drama absolutely. The strength and talent of our cast is remarkable and amongst the best we’ve worked with. We have now become Wicked’s latest devotees. We think you will see our point.

Chris, Lynette and Danny

- DIRECTION & DESIGN -

Lynette White Co-Director/ChoreographerFor over 30 years, Lynette has been a major force in choreography and direction in the Melbourne music theatre scene, working with major theatre companies including Whitehorse (My One and Only, Gypsy, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, Beauty and the Beast, Seussical), Catchment (My Fair Lady, Pippin, Chicago, Annie, Jesus Christ Superstar, Grease), Babirra (The Desert Song, The Whitehorse Inn), and Festival (La Cage Aux Folles, Barnum). She worked for several years with the Department of Education as the director/choreographer for the Victorian Schools Spectacular, doing shows such as Oklahoma!, The Wiz, Little Shop of Horrors, Chicago, Into the Woods and The Pirates of Penzance. She also choreographed and produced the Rock Eisteddfods. With husband Chris, she has also co-directed and choreographed many shows, including Oklahoma!, Sweeney Todd (twice), Anything Goes, Oliver!, Les Miserables, Into the Woods and Pippin. For CLOC, Lynette choreographed our 1998 production of A Chorus Line, as well as our 2009 premiere blockbuster Miss Saigon. In 2010, she choreographed and co-directed Dusty with husband Chris, followed by Fiddler on the Roof in 2011, Guys and Dolls in 2013, and last year’s premiere production of Mary Poppins. Lynette and Chris make a formidable and multi-talented production team, perfect for a show of this magnitude and scale.

Chris White Co-Director/Set Designer Chris has been involved in theatre for over 40 years, having started out as Publicity Designer for J.C. Williamson, Melbourne Theatre Company and The Australian Ballet. This led to onstage performances in musicals, as well as direction and design in professional and amateur theatre. He has produced, directed and designed over 40 musicals in as many years. Since retiring from a long-standing teaching career, Chris is now a full-time professional artist and designer, having won over 60 major art awards for his work (including the Streeton award (twice), the McCubbin award (three times) and the Heysen Prize). Some of his noted direction and/or set designs include Steel Pier (CLOC), Sweeney Todd (twice-CLK and Nova), Joseph & The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat and Seussical (Whitehorse), Into The Woods (Dandenong), and Les Miserables, Anything Goes and Oklahoma! (all for Catchment). For CLOC, he and Lynette co-directed (and Chris designed) Dusty (2010), Fiddler on the Roof (2011), Guys and Dolls (2013) and last year’s spectacular Mary Poppins. Chris also painted stunning backdrops for our productions of All Shook Up and The Phantom of the Opera. We welcome Chris back to CLOC, again doing double duties as Director and Set Designer.

Danny Forward Musical DirectorOriginally from Brisbane, Danny is now a much valued and beloved member of the Melbourne musical theatre scene. For Beaumaris Theatre, Danny was a committee member for eight years and musically directed, composed and/or performed music for twelve productions, including their much acclaimed 2010 production of I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change, which he also co-directed and designed. For other companies, Danny has worked as Musical Director for MLOC (Cats, Beauty and the Beast, Pippin, Camelot), Fab Nobs (Rent, Grease, Avenue Q, It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s Superman), MDMS (Guys and Dolls) and Babirra (Annie, Crazy for You, The Boy from Oz). As well, he has worked with Aspect, Catchment, MOTTS, New Beat, PLOS and Whitehorse, either as Musical Director, audition and rehearsal pianist or pit player. In 2010, he was honoured at the Annual Music Theatre Guild Awards when he received the Musicians Award for Excellence. In 2008, Danny worked on his first CLOC production, The Boy from Oz, working as rehearsal pianist and as part of the on-stage orchestra. He then worked on nine consecutive CLOC shows, capping off an incredible run by winning Best Musical Director of 2012 for our Production of the Year, All Shook Up. Danny returned to CLOC last year to work as Musical Director for Mary Poppins, and was delighted to do an encore production with Chris and Lynette.

Victoria Horne Costume DesignerVicky has been designing and creating costumes for secondary school musicals, dance schools and calisthenics competitions for over twenty years, before moving successfully into adult musical theatre. She received Guild nominations for the two PLOS shows she designed – Cabaret (2006) and Thoroughly Modern Millie (2008). For CLOC, Vicky started on the sewing team for Shout!, and then either designed and/or coordinated costumes for Hot Shoe Shuffle (2008-Guild nomination), Miss Saigon (2009), Dusty (2010-Guild nomination), Fiddler on the Roof (2011), All Shook Up (2012-Guild nomination), Guys and Dolls (2013) and our 100th production 42nd Street (2014-Guild nomination). She then took her sequins and feathers with her to Babirra, where she won more plaudits for her superb designs for Crazy for You (Guild award). Last year, Vicky designed the costumes for both our productions, Mary Poppins and The Drowsy Chaperone, and won the Guild award for the second consecutive year, this time with CLOC for Poppins. We are delighted to welcome Vicky back for CLOC show number 11, in which she has found it easy to keep up her tradition of ensuring each costume has at least one sequin on it somewhere.

Brad Alcock Lighting DesignerBrad has over 20 years experience as a professional lighting and projection designer for theatre, musicals, broadcast, concerts and other live events. His designs have featured throughout Australia, Asia, the Middle East and Europe, spanning hundreds of productions.

Brad biannually creates original designs for all of Victoria’s largest non-professional theatre companies as well as a large portfolio of school clients, for which he has won numerous awards. He is currently the lighting designer for Tina Arena and also the television program RocKwiz. This is Brad’s seventh production for CLOC, after Fiddler on the Roof (2011), All Shook Up (2012), Guys and Dolls (2013), both of our 2014 shows, 42nd Street and Legally Blonde, and his memorable designs for last year’s Mary Poppins, complete with revolving letters, flying nannies, and escaping birds.

Rosa McCartyElphabaA university academic in biomedical science by day, Rosa transforms into a multi-talented music theatre performer at night. Originally from Adelaide, Rosa has built up an enviable and prolific list of music theatre credentials and accolades since moving to Melbourne in 2008. Since 2010 alone, she has featured in over twenty productions and/or concerts, including three appearances with CLOC (Aldonza in Man of La Mancha-2010, Rose in Aspects of Love-2011 (Guild nomination) and the title role in last year’s spectacular production of Mary Poppins (Guild nomination)). Other highlights have included the title roles in Kiss of the Spider Woman (SHooSH) and Dusty (Williamstown-Guild nomination), Nancy in Oliver! (Babirra-Guild nomination), Queenie in The Wild Party (Four Letter Word Theatre), and Florence in Chess (Catchment), a show she also performed with The Production Company. In 2012, Rosa won the Guild award for Best Actress for her stunning portrayal of Diana in Next to Normal (Williamstown). With Elphaba and Mary Poppins, Rosa not only gets to bookend two of her most treasured roles, but also gets to fly again, only this time with a broom instead of an umbrella!

Emily McKenzieGalinda/GlindaEmily has made a double name for herself in Melbourne theatre over the last ten plus years. As Emily Doran, she played a number of lead roles, including Lucille Frank (Parade-Monash University), Marta (Company-Devanesen Productions), Cathy (The Last Five Years-Devanesen, Guild nomination), and four lead roles with PLOS - Belle (Beauty and the Beast-Guild nomination), Liza Minnelli (The Boy from Oz), The Lady of the Lake (Spamalot) and Maria (The Sound of Music). In 2008, Emily made an adorable Gertrude McFuzz in Chris and Lynette White’s stunning and memorable production of Seussical (Whitehorse Musical Theatre), which received an incredible eight Guild and four Lyrebird awards, including nominations for Emily. Since her 2011 marriage to Heath, she has worked as Emily McKenzie, playing Heidi in [title of show] with Williamstown/Fab Nobs, as well as Jo March in Little Women (Oxagen Productions), for which she received yet another Guild nomination. Emily’s only previous CLOC show was as Nellie in Jekyll & Hyde (2005). A lot has happened in the eleven years since – marriage to Heath and two adorable children, who have been Emily’s proudest productions - toddler Ava and baby Oscar, who unfortunately will be too young to see Mum descend in a bubble to become Glinda the Good Witch of the North.

ACT 1The citizens of Oz are celebrating the death of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West. As Glinda the Good appears to reassure the people that goodness has prevailed over evil, she admits that she and Elphaba were once friends, and tells the story in flashback of how they met. Elphaba is the daughter of the governor of Munchkinland, and was born with green skin. Her father shunned her, and showered his affection on her younger sister, Nessarose, who is confined to a wheelchair. The two girls go together to Shiz University, where the pretty and popular Galinda is also in their class. Elphaba and Galinda take an instant dislike to each other, exacerbated when they are roomed together and when Elphaba inadvertently shows magical powers, which causes the headmistress Madame Morrible to fawn on her.A handsome roguish prince, Fiyero, arrives at Shiz, and Galinda is charmed, oblivious to the fact that another student, a munchkin Boq, is smitten with her. At the Stardust Ballroom Dance, Galinda has eyes only for Fiyero, and persuades Boq to ask Nessarose to dance. Nessarose immediately falls for Boq and is full of gratitude towards Galinda. Elphaba turns up at the dance wearing a black hat which Galinda had given her as a joke. As people laugh at Elphaba, Galinda’s guilt makes her try to help Elphaba and a new friendship is born.

Elphaba attends history class with Dr Dillamond, the only animal professor at the university, who is suffering from the effects of a conspiracy to stop the animals from speaking. When Dr Dillamond tells the class he is leaving as he is no longer permitted to teach, Elphaba is outraged and feels she must meet the Wizard to tell him, so he can fix this.Elphaba and Galinda prepare to go to the Emerald City to meet the Wizard. As they leave, to try to impress Fiyero, Galinda changes her name to Glinda as an outward show of solidarity with Dr Dillamond. Soon, the two girls are standing before the Wizard and his new Press Secretary, Madame Morrible. After a confrontation involving a levitation spell on the Wizard’s monkey servant Chistery, Elphaba realizes that the Wizard is the one behind the suppression of the animals and that he has no powers. She runs away, and in order to prevent the truth from getting out, Madame Morrible spreads reports that Elphaba is “wicked,” and not to be trusted. After Glinda refuses to join her, Elphaba performs a spell on a broom and flies away, leaving Glinda behind.

- SYNOPSIS -ACT 2Elphaba is now known as “The Wicked Witch of the West”. “Glinda the Good” has become the smiling public front of the Wizard’s regime, with Fiyero by her side as her reluctant fiancé.Elphaba pays a visit to Nessarose, who is now the governor of Munchkinland following the death of their father, and is desperately trying to keep an unwilling Boq by her side. Elphaba tries to help by giving Nessarose the power to walk, which Boq sees as his means to freedom and attempts to leave. In desperation, Nessarose tries to cast a spell to make Boq stay and fall in love with her. However, the spell backfires, shrinking Boq’s heart, and to save his life, Elphaba works another spell, one which leaves Boq as a man made of tin without a heart.Elphaba returns to the Wizard’s palace to free the monkey servants, and comes across the Wizard himself. Upon seeing Dr. Dillamond who has lost his power of speech, she vows to fight the Wizard until the end. Fiyero and the guards enter, followed by Glinda. Fiyero helps Elphaba to escape, and decides to go with her, leaving Glinda behind and broken hearted, while Elphaba and Fiyero admit their love for each other. Glinda and Elphaba meet again at the site where Nessarose has been crushed during a tornado by a house with a girl named Dorothy inside. Fueled by the rivalry over Fiyero, the two have a heated argument. Having been tipped off by Glinda, the guards arrive, followed quickly by Fiyero, who tries to help Elphaba escape. The guards turn on Fiyero and tie him up to a pole in the field. Elphaba tries to cast a spell to save his life and protect him from injury, but only succeeds in turning him into a scarecrow. In despair, she decides that from this point on, she will live up to her ‘wicked’ reputation.The citizens of Oz set out to capture Elphaba. Glinda has realized Madame Morrible, who can control the weather, is responsible for Nessarose’s death. Glinda travels to Elphaba’s castle to warn her of the danger she is in. The two women forgive each other for all grievances and embrace for the last time before saying goodbye forever. Elphaba forces Glinda to hide, who then watches from the shadows as Dorothy throws a bucket of water on Elphaba, who appears to melt away. Grief-stricken, Glinda returns to the Emerald City and confronts the Wizard with Elphaba’s bottle of green elixir, which she recognizes as having seen before while visiting Oz. The Wizard realises that he is Elphaba’s biological father, and the cause of her green skin. He breaks down in agony, and Madame Morrible surmises that Elphaba’s powers were so strong because she was a child of two worlds. Glinda orders the Wizard to leave Oz and sends Madame Morrible to prison for murdering Nessarose.Meanwhile, back at the castle, Fiyero (now a scarecrow) comes to the spot where Elphaba was melted, and they are reunited; her melting was a ruse to convince her enemies of her death and to ensure her future with Fiyero. Before leaving, Elphaba regrets that she’ll never see Glinda again. Simultaneously, Glinda reports to the people of Oz that the Wicked Witch of the West has been killed and promises to properly earn her title as Glinda the Good. As the people celebrate and while Glinda mourns, Elphaba and Fiyero leave Oz forever.

Gregory Maguire Author of the Original NovelPublished a dozen novels for children before writing his first adult novel, Wicked. A devotee of children’s fantasy, Maguire’s subsequent novels for adults are variations-on-a-theme: Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister considers Cinderella as a seventeenth-century maid from Haarlem; Lost evokes the ghost of Charles Dickens’s Scrooge; and Mirror Mirror features a High Renaissance Snow White daunted by the wickedest stepmother, Lucrezia Borgia. Maguire’s novel Son of a Witch, a sequel to Wicked, is followed by volume III of the Wicked Years, A Lion Among Men, and concludes with the final novel in the Wicked Years, Out of Oz. He lives in Massachusetts and Vermont with his husband, the painter Andy Newman, and their three children.
