The Musical “Wicked” Coming to the Overture in Madison, WI
August 31, 2010 – 8:00 am | No Comment

I saw this excellent play in NYC a little over two years ago.  It was fantastic!  The music stayed in my head and I found myself singing the tunes from this musical long after I returned home.  It bills itself as the story of Oz before Dorothy drops in.  It’s a story about how the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good became the witches they are today.  But did I mention the fantastic music?

The play will be presented here in Madison at the Overture Center starting Wednesday, September 22, 2010 and running through Sunday, October 10. Read the full story »
