Stephen Schwartz Plays Wicked

Stephen Schwartz has most recently been publicly honored for his work as the composer for Wicked, currently one of the most popular musicals on the Broadway stage…actually possibly the single most popular musical of our day. For those who do not know much about him, apart from his work on Wicked, they might be surprised to know that this incredible artist has also composed for a number of other very recognizable and popular shows and movies in the past. Works include the Disney films Pocahontas, which he received two Academy Awards for; The Hunchback of Notre Dame; and Enchanted, which he earned three nominations for best song at last February’s Academy Awards. Also in his repertoire are the Broadway musicals Pippin and Godspell.

Tomorrow Stephen Schwartz and his friends singer-pianist Scott Coulter and actress-singer Debbie Gravitte will be performing at California State University, Monterey Bay’s World Theater.
