Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of this wonderful show that teaches us it's not all hair "toss-toss"es and dancing through life, sometimes it takes a little loathing to come into your own. From the Top! hosts Mary and Steven take on the show that seems to just keep on defying gravity, Wicked. Steven breaks down a lot of history and backstory this show has in Part 1, from its origins in L. Frank Baum's books, to Gregory MacQuire reimagining a protagonist, to Steven Schwartz throwing hissy fits to get his way for a production, so sit back and enjoy a little trip down the yellow brick road to the Ozdust ballroom. It's the most swankified place in town after all. Happy Listening! Wicked Cast Album - 2003 FOLLOW US! For all the latest content and fun things to come, subscribe, hit that like button, and follow.
