Kyle Dean Massey - Wicked Broadway

The cast currently includes Lindsay Mendez as Elphaba, Alli Mauzey as Glinda, Carol Kane as Madame Morrible, Tom McGowan as The Wizard, Catherine Charlebois as Nessarose, John Schiappa as Dr. Dillamond and Michael Wartella as Boq.

Based on Gregory Maguire’s novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, the musical explores the untold story (and unlikely friendship) of green-skinned Elphaba and Glinda the Good — and just how they became the witches of Oz.

Massey returns to the role of Fiyero after most recently performing the part on Broadway last winter. His other Broadway credits include Next to Normal (Gabe) and Xanadu (Thalia). Off-Broadway he was seen in Altar Boyz (Matthew) and Lucky Guy (Billy Ray).

Wicked returns to PlayhouseSquare with wonderful leading ladies – Reviewed By Brooke Bridenstine, News-Herald.com.

“It’s good to see me, isn’t it?” she asks. “No need to respond. That was rhetorical.” Nonetheless, Galinda, it is wonderful to see you.

Here in Northeast Ohio, we’re pretty experienced when it comes to catching the smash musical “Wicked” at PlayhouseSquare. The show is on stage at the State Theatre, marking the fourth time a professional tour of the Broadway show has landed at the downtown Cleveland performing-arts complex, playing to full houses each time.

If we needed a reminder of why we love this show — which takes place before and during the events of Frank L. Baum’s “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” — this production will do it. As with previous versions, it’s heartwarming, hilarious and crammed with terrific musical numbers. (If you don’t enjoy the Act I-closing “Defying Gravity,” there’s just something wrong with you.)

The backbone of “Wicked” is the unlikely friendship of popular, pretty girl Galinda (Hayley Podschun), who will become Glinda, the Good Witch of the North, and outcast Elphaba (Jennifer DiNola), the future Wicked Witch of the West. The bubbly blonde and the green-skinned brainiac are, at first, rivals, but they grow to be friends when Galinda feels badly for Elphaba at a school dance, when the latter dances by herself.

“I’ll say this for her: She doesn’t give a twig about what anybody else thinks,” says Fiyero (David Nathan Perlow), a dashing gent who hooks up with Galinda but who may just have more in common with Elphaba.

“Of course she does,” Galinda says, seeing her as a person for the first time. “She just pretends she doesn’t.”
