History was made at the Broadway run of Wicked last week when Brittney Johnson stepped into the glass bubble as the production's first Glinda of color. Johnson stepped in for Katie Rose Clarke art the January 10 performance.
Althought the show's other principal characters have been portrayed by actors of color this moment marked a first in the musical's 15 year-long run at the Gershwin Theater. Johnson's other Broadway credits include Motown, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, Les Miserables and Sunset Boulevard!
What is Wicked about?
Our story begins in the hallowed halls of Oz's Shiz University, where we meet the Elphaba. Born with green skin, she's has been made an outcast, by everyone including her own father, but deep within Elphaba is a great power that's just waiting to be set free. Unfortunately, her time at college gets off to a rocky start when she's given a new roommate - the perky, more perfect-than-perfect Glinda. In the beginning, the two absolutely despise each other, but after a simple act of kindness at a party, they realise that they may not be so different after all.
Over the course of their studies they become firm friends, but when Elphaba uncovers a sinister plot that could destroy the whole world of Oz, she must choose between keeping her friend or learning how to become... Wicked!
Wicked is now playing at the Gershwin Theater.
