Broadway in Chicago brings Wicked back into the Windy City this winter at the Oriental Theatre playing now through Jan. 21. The good news it is nearly sold out and is a worthy adaptation of the popular musical.
What many casts try is to imitate past performers in the two iconic lead roles. Thankfully, Mary Kate Morrissey as Elphaba and Ginna Claire Mason as Glinda don't do this. They add enough in to make the parts their own. It can be a tricky tightrope to walk and they do it skillfully.
