David Stone
As Wicked approaches its fifth anniversary on Broadway, producer David Stone talks about the ever-expanding life of the international hit musical, including how the show first came into being, how the production quality is maintained across multiple companies, and whether the show has to be adjusted for local audiences when it plays in other countries. He also talks about how he came to produce his first Off-Broadway hit, Family Secrets, and his first Broadway failure, What's Wrong With This Picture?; his relationship with not for profit theatres, including Barrington Stage Company and Second Stage, on The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and Next To Normal; his particular pride in producing The Vagina Monologues; which show he produced for his mother; and why he'd rather create controversy than respond to it.
