The handsome Fiyero develops a relationship with Elphaba, who later becomes known as the Wicked Witch of the West.
“I’m so excited,” Adams said, by phone. “It’s been running for like 10 years, so to be part of something so hugely successful and long-running is great.”
Adams, who play Fiyero, is one of three new cast members. Film star and former “Saturday Night Live” cast member Tim Kazurinsky replaced John Davidson as the Wizard; Jenny Florkowski took the role of Nessarose.
“Wicked” is subtitled “The Untold Story of the Witches of Oz.” Call it a prequel, call it an origin story or both. The musical, according to the show’s website, explains how Glinda the Good Witch and the Wicked Witch of the West (Elphaba) came to be:
“Long before Dorothy drops in, two other girls meet in the land of Oz. One, born with emerald-green skin, is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. ‘Wicked’ tells the story of their remarkable odyssey, how these two unlikely friends grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good.”
Fiyero plays a key role in “Wicked.”
“He’s actually the love interest of both Glinda and Elphaba,” Adams said. “He’s the prince of the Winkies, and this new kid who comes to town … He’s sort of the bad boy, and has this carefree attitude about life. Eventually, Elphaba is the one who makes him change his idea about how he wants to live his life and he becomes a man of responsibility and the captain of the guard.”
North American tour of Wicked will be in Pittsburgh, PA through February 09, 2014. As only last 8 performances left, Don’t miss it! Click here to Buy Wicked Benedum Center Tickets NOW.
