The Music of Wicked and The Wizard of Oz
Today's Events | Palace Theater
This presentation examines links between Harold Arlen’s music from “The Wizard of Oz” (1939) and Stephen Schwartz’s music for “Wicked” (2003), especially focusing on the relationship between “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” and the ‘Unlimited’ motif in Wicked. We will learn about the ways in which this motif is developed across the show.Presenter: Kyle Hutchinson, Visiting Assistant Professor of Music, Colgate University
