The Man Behind Wicked, Live!

Wicked is one of those musicals so great and so thoroughly enjoyable that all who see it fall in love with it. This is not only due to the stunning music and lyrics and the great overall show as it was imagined and brought to life by Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman, but it is also due to the man behind the novel that inspired this staged adaptation, Gregory Maguire.

The author of the novel “Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West” penned a truly great storyline telling the tale of what happened before Dorothy ever visited Oz, and it is truly a testament to his work that fans flock to watch this storyline unfold, with all its universal truths and relatable nature.

Now this same author will be able to be seen by you and all other Wicked fans, live in person. Gregory Maguire will be signing books and doing a reading on July 14, 2007 at Sweet Christopher’s at 601 Centre St., Jamaica Plain. This reading and book signing promises to be a great time not only for those who are in love with the musical Wicked, but also for those who appreciate and have enjoyed all of Maguire’s great books, of which there are many. So make sure you check out this book signing, and definitely make sure you get tickets to see Wicked at stubhub.com today!
