Peeking Behind the Emerald Curtain

For all Wicked fans who want to get a sneak backstage look at the popular musical, Sean McCourt’s new book will give fans that extraordinary opportunity.  He gives a close up look at design elements and answers to questions about how the magic happens eight times a week.  McCourt is now a member of Mary Poppins, but he holds a special place in his heart for the story about the yellow brick road.  For audience members, it is an absolute joy to see a live performance, but while you are sitting and enjoying the show, you seldom think about all of the work that went into creating the production.  McCourt tells about everything that goes into designing the costumes and props and even explains all of the technical aspects that go into creating this magical show.

Wicked is one of those shows that really captures the attentions of its audience members.  The story is original, but is based on a much loved book and movie that made headlines almost a century ago now.  The production is garnering much attention around the world and theater patrons constantly flock to this amazing production.  Get to know the backstage world and get yourself a seat near the front of the stage when you buy a pair of Wicked tickets.
