Ep482 - Broadway's Wicked

Laurel Harris and Alexandra Socha, who respectively play Elphaba and Glinda in Broadway’s Wicked, visit Google to celebrate 20 years of the hit musical. Wicked looks at what happened in the land of Oz…but from a different angle. Long before Dorothy arrives, there is a young woman, born with emerald-green skin – smart, fiery, misunderstood and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships – until the world decides to call one “Good” and the other “Wicked.” Laurel Harris is thrilled to rejoin Wicked Broadway after just completing 9 months on the Wicked tour. Beginning her Wicked journey 13 years ago, she’s proudest of playing Elphaba 10 years ago full-time on tour. Alexandra Socha’s Broadway credits include Head Over Heels, Brighton Beach Memoirs, and Spring Awakening. On television, she is known for her role as Skye on Amazon's "Red Oaks" and has also appeared in "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," "Evil," "The Big C,” and many more.
