15 years ago tonight, the original cast of “Wicked: The Musical:” Idina Menzel, Kristin Chenoweth, Joel Gray, Norbert Leo Butz, Christopher Fitzgerald, Carole Shelley (and many others) opened on the stage of Broadway’s Gershwin Theatre, for good.
Based on the novel of the same name by Gregory Maguire, featuring music by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Winnie Holzman, and directed by Joe Mantello, “Wicked” has been dancing through life in New York (and all over the world) ever since.
Kevin Chamberlin is the actor sentimentally filling the robes of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz on Broadway as the company celebrates this landmark anniversary. Chamberlin’s recent previous Broadway credits include “Disaster!,” “The Addams Family,” "Seussical," and "Dirty Blonde."
