Matlock and DeCicco Tour with Wicked

Just because cast members tend to change wtihin shows as the runs get longer and the fans flocking to see each nights performances get into longer lines still, let’s take a quick look at who two of the most well-known characters within Wicked are being played by in the touring cast, today. Victoria Matlock is playing that green-skinned belter Elphaba, while Christina DeCicco is playing the role of Glinda, The Good Witch. Without a doubt both of these actreses have the chops and the vocal ranges to carry off the roles in which they have been cast, but what might be surprising is that neither of these women came from necessarily expansive careers on the Broadway stage before they were cast in this touring production of one of the hottest shows Broadway has seen in years.

Cast in roles that fans of all ages are able to idenitify with, Matlock and DeCicco are facing a heretofore unknown celebrity as fans wait at the stage door after each nights performances, hoping for autographs and photos. For their parts, these two female leads happily oblige, loving their respective fifteen minutes of fame, and still surprised that fans not only know every song sung by their characters, but that they know these actresses’ names as well.
