"flying designer" and has been involved
in more than 200 musical theater pro-
ductions.
In the Detroit production the Wicked
lead roles are played by Julia Murney
( The Wild Party, A Class Act) as
Elphaba and Kendra Kassebaum (Rent,
The Assassins) as Glinda. Alma Cuervo
(Beauty and the Beast, Titanic) plays
Madame Morrible, the mean head-
mistress of Shiz University; Sebastian
Arcellus (Rent, The Full Monty) plays
a handsome prince-type character
named Fiyero; and P.J. Benjamin (who
spent six years as Mr. Cellophane in
Chicago) is the Wizard.
Wicked is directed by Joe Mantello,
with choreography by Wayne Cilento,
sets by Eugene Lee, costumes by Susan
Hilferty and lighting design by Kenneth
Posner. Patrons with opera glasses are
urged to zero in on the fine detail of
Hilferty's costumes.
It will take a lot of doing, and
maybe a bit of sorcery, for Murney
and Kassebaum to measure up to the
original Broadway witches, Jewish singer
Idina Menzel, who won a Tony Award
as Elphaba, and Kristin Chenoweth as
Glinda. But even the all-knowing Wizard
probably can't explain how Wicked,
which won 15 major awards after it
opened, and recently surpassed 1,000
performances on Broadway,
