Click his link to see how many OZ Wicked books he’s written. WOW! Although the original Wicked I didn’t finish. I finally saw the stage version which was fabulous.
Among the 30 people interviewed for this project are Podcasters, instagrammers, original cast members, relatives of them and those who are stepping into roles, as the movie Wicked hits theaters. I’m excited.
Thanks to Andy Streitfeld, CEO of this project, for helping keep Oz relevant today.
