A Few Minutes with Glinda
The journey of a witch –
especially one that is perceived as “good”
– may be a long one. That’s not a bad thing
when you’re Glinda the Good. Kendra Kassebaum
is the lucky, talented actress who will spend over a year-and-a-half
in the princess gown, the blond hair and the shiny tiara,
on a journey of both professional and personal growth.
She has been in the touring company of WICKED
from its first days in Toronto, will be with it through
its “first” tour end in Seattle, then go on
with return engagements to several venues such as Toronto,
Houston, Dallas and Denver. She loves to chat about the
“journey” aspect of what she’s doing
as well as the journey of Glinda – who must journey
to goodness.
I caught up with
her by phone when WICKED was playing in Atlanta, or “Hot-lanta,”
as she called it. “It’s 85 here, and I love
it!” she says. “We just came from Boston where
it rained every day we were there. The shows went well,
but the weather could have been better,” she adds.
