WICKED celebrated its 8th anniversary on Broadway with a special encore performance in the lobby of the Gershwin Theatre. Fans voted -during this last couples of days- for the song to be performed being, with no surprise, “Defying Gravity”. The current Broadway cast and alumni, plus a special appearance by composer Stephen Schwartz, sang this amazing tune.
