I saw Wicked before it was ever on Broadway when it was at San Francisco because we had season tickets and my mom called me up.

I just have to ask, to personal reasons, when you were watching Wicked, were there any middle-aged men in the audience sobbing at...

So I have to ask you about this, especially with the first installment, Wicked.

There were so many marketing tie-ins.

There was Wicked branded Crocs, Wicked mac and cheese cups, Wicked Barbies, Wicked Stanley cups, and Wicked Build-A-Bears.

Listen, the Swiffer is pretty cool when you go to Target and you see the Elphaba and Galindas sections and they're there.
