BIG DEAL: Next Broadway Maven guests
Book writers for Parade and Wicked (Alfred Uhry and Winnie Holzman)
Great news! The Broadway Maven musical theater appreciation course has just announced its next two guests, and they’re big names:
• Alfred Uhry wrote the book for Parade, a 1998 musical about Southern anti-Semitism. He’ll be joining the class at Noon ET on Monday, December 6. Registration is open at bitly.com/MavenParade
• Winnie Holzman wrote the book for Wicked. Yeah, Wicked. She’ll be joining the class at 8 pm ET on Monday, December 20. Registration opens soon.
Note that each session meets only once.
Because Parade is not frequently produced, I’ve edited together a 10-minute sampler of some of the key songs and plot points:
I hope to see you at one or both classes!
