More Pics Backstage at Wicked

Lynn and I were two lucky ladies last Saturday. Here we are backstage at The Gershwin Theatre in New York City an hour before the curtains came up for Wicked.

Here's the real Wizard of Oz, actor Adam Grupper (left), and John (right), head carpenter at The Gershwin Theatre in New York City. John was a good sport. We're extremely grateful for the backstage tour. I especially loved walking down the "suicide stairs" he built into the back of the stage for quick exits. What a trip that was!

I also enjoyed walking through the green room and getting a glimpse of the actors before the show. They looked as calm and cool as can be.  Walking through the orchestra pit was a tight squeeze.

 Here we are on stage in front of the house that blew away in the tornado.
