THE TIME HAS COME. Tara and EmKay continue their journey into Broadway's smash hit musical, 2003's "Wicked The Musical"! Joined by special guest Jimmy Larkin, rabbit holes include unnecessary early Playbill articles on cast members being out of the show, detailing the evolution of "Dancing Through Life," a deep dive into Norbert Leo Butz's career, and so much more!
Part 2 dropping this Wednesday.

Quick note: When Jimmy references Craig, he is referencing Telsey Casting Director Craig Burns.
