PART 2
Behind the Emerald Curtain is a behind-the-scenes look at Broadway's biggest hit in a generation. Behind the Emerald Curtain has been running in New York for over 8 years, and now we have created a portable version which comes to you. You'll see costumes and props up close and hear first hand accounts of the birth of a new musical. It takes 125 people to put Wicked on each night, and we'll learn what every job is and why everyone is crucial. You'll see why theatre is the most collaborative artform. It's fun, fast paced, and fascinating! Sean McCourt will even sing "Wonderful" for workshop participants. Check out the website for more information at: www.emeraldcurtain.com
