Katie Rose Clark descends in her Glinda bubble during the Wicked tour on stages from Omaha to Seattle. She travels with Donna Vivino as Elphaba and the full large cast and crew. Another touring Glinda is Heléne Yorke who is paired with Marci Dodd as the green-skinned Witch.
Producer David Stone recently accepted the award for “Best Long-Running Touring Musical” for Wicked during the Broadway League’s 2009 spring conference. For the third year in a row, Wicked also received the “Touring Broadway Audience Choice Award.” These are among the many awards for the Stephen Schwartz/Winnie Holzman musical, one whose complete development has been revealed in a new book “Defying Gravity” named after a song from the show. http://www.defyinggravitythebook.com/
