Whether it is watching a Wicked Broadway, performing myself, or seeing my students master a new action, nothing brings more delight to my heart.

However I am reunited with several talented Wicked tour dates familiar faces from other productions and have actually been introduced to many brand-new ones as well.
The very same can not be said for Chicago’s Fiyero, Kristoffer Cusick. I enjoyed his acting, his character was fun, but his singing voice wasn’t strong enough, in my viewpoint. Because of his weak vocals, the beautiful duet in between Fiyero and Elpheba was less reliable.
