WICKED Sets Lottery Policy for Capitol Theatre Run

WICKED has returned to Sydney and the audience can't get enough of this spellbinding and critically acclaimed musical. Currently performing at the Capitol Theatre, WICKED's producers are offering lucky fans the chance to buy a limited number of special priced tickets through a WICKED Lottery commencing at the evening performance on Tuesday 7 October.

"This is a fantastic opportunity for fans to buy great priced tickets to their favourite musical," says WICKED's Australian co-Producer John Frost. "They may be visitors from interstate or overseas and in Sydney for just a day or two, and haven't booked ahead. Tourists are always among the Lottery entries at Capitol Theatre box office.

"Students and young people love the idea of the Lottery. On impulse they turn up at the box office hoping to buy seats for a performance and find there's the chance of getting great seats at a great price."
