More than 20 years after Wicked first opened, composer Stephen Schwartz says he’s still not finished with the world of Oz.
He’s confirmed he’s working with longtime collaborator Winnie Holzman on a possible new musical based on L Frank Baum’s Oz books, this time focused on Princess Ozma.
Schwartz says the idea has been in development for a couple of years and that Universal is “very interested,” adding that they’re now seeing “if it will lead somewhere.”
He also shared that the Oz world is rich with stories still to tell, and this project would be a more direct take on Baum’s work rather than a reworking like Wicked.
It’s clear Oz is a place Schwartz keeps coming back to.
