Step Aside, Ruby Slippers: Wicked Goes Double Platinum

Let us be glad, Oz fans, Wicked has gone double platinum! What does that mean? It means that the show’s original Broadway cast recording, featuring Idina Menzel as Elphaba and Kristin Chenoweth as Glinda, has sold more than two million copies! After the curtain call at the November 10 matinee, Wicked producer Marc Platt presented composer/lyricist Stephen Schwartz with a commemorative plaque from the Recording Industry Association of America, with current stars Mandy Gonzalez (Elphaba) and Katie Rose Clarke (Glinda) by his side.
