“Good news!” Today, I’m thrilled to announce my episode with Winnie Holzman, the author of the libretto and screenplay for the musical WICKED. Tune in to hear some of the stories of her legendary career, including what she learned from Betty Comden and Arthur Laurents while studying at NYU, how she came to star in the first production of Christopher Durang’s BETTE AND BOO, ideas that came from the stage production of WICKED, learning from the reviews of BIRDS OF PARADISE, her journey to studying at Princeton, what inspired her to adapt THE SEAGULL, why Jon M. Chu was the perfect director for WICKED, one idea that got cut from the musical and the movie, how conversations around the movie changed through the years, the dimensions that Joe Mantello added to the musical, and so much more. You won’t want to miss this conversation with a brilliant writer in all mediums!
