Read in a thread that Wicked's Jan Neuburger was the Wicked Witch a few weeks ago. Who else was in the cast?

The FABULOUS Kate Manning was Dorothy!

I believe Ken Page played the Cowardly Lion, the role he played at Madison Square Garden.

Ken Page actually played the Great and Powerful Wizard of Oz.

I stand corrected--I knew I saw his name in the review I read.

Is this the weird version that has the scarecrow like...molesting Dorothy?

I didn't notice any Dorthy molestation but my seats were fairly far away, lol... it was basically the movie done onstage with the number "Jitterbug" (which was cut from the movie) added back in.

oh...I thought there was some older version (maybe just a play) where things were different--a much darker version of the production most of us are familiar with.

The MUNY one is the one where the Wizard and Dorothy go back to Kansas in a rocket ship, if that's what you're thinking of.

Well, I went, and there was certainly no molestation or rocket ships. They performed the RSC version this year... It was fantastic.
