Eight months to Mars - Jemma Rix

When Australian performer Jemma Rix evolves on stage in the musical Wicked from the gangly girl to the uber-witch, the Wicked Witch Of The West, it is such a powerful performance that you can hear the audience rumble with a mixture of awe and approval when she belts out her big songs. Wicked is setting all sorts of box office records in Auckland, and it's one of the longest running stage musicals to play in New Zealand.
