Roscioli an instant hit in “Wicked” after “Cats” Debut

Dee Roscioli, an Easton, Pennsylvania native who started acting at age 12 and saw her first Broadway musical, Cats, at age 16, has become a fast start in the Broadway original production of “Wicked” based on the book by Gregory MaGuire and the play by Stephen Schwartz. Roscioli, who plays the part of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, ironically got her initial break on Broadway in the production of Cats as the glamour character Grizabella, according to her fan Web site. The DeSales University theater major played in productions such as “The Music Man” and “Sweeney Todd” during college and got her big break after graduation in 1999 when she won the role of Delia in “Pokemon Live!” which toured nationally. Shortly after, Roscioli won the role of Elphaba in Wicked, which she continues to play in the Chicago production through the shows run into next year.
