In the conclusion of our Stephen Schwartz spotlight, we explore what makes him a keeper in the American musical theatre landscape, making the bold statement that of all his work, Wicked will, in fact, be his lasting legacy. Guest host Madison Garrett joins host Sally Fuller to deep dive into the backstories and journey of what Schwartz has called "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern in Oz.” Be sure to check out our show notes on TheBroadwayGinger.com for some bonus videos and even more to the crazy story behind Avenue Q’s producers securing their Tony Award over Wicked!
