Benjamin Joins Wicked Cast

Broadway’s Wicked gets a new Wizard of Oz today.  P.J. Benjamin will be joining the cast to take the role he once played for nearly two years with the touring Wicked production.  After leaving the touring production, Benjamin has spent the last six years playing Amos Hart in Chicago.  Some of the women who played opposite him as his wife were Melanie Griffith and Brook Shields.  After that, he appeared as Joy Boyd in Damn Yankees.

Benjamin has no shortage of Broadway experience.  Some of his other credits include The Pajama Game, Sarava and Fosse’s Pippin.  He has also had TV and film experience like in Law & Order and Ice Age, which he lent his voice to.  Benjamin will be in good company with Kerry Ellis, Kendra Kassebaum, Jayne Houdyshell and more stars in the cast with him.

With the success of Wicked around the country and world, it is becoming a bigger and bigger honor to be a part of Wicked’s cast.  Being a part of the Broadway production is even more of an honor.  With all of his experience, P.J. Benjamin is a great choice for the part of the Wizard.  See this award-winning show near you and get Wicked tickets from StubHub.com.
