The wizardry of Stephen Schwartz has spanned four decades to date and given us some of the best loved shows of all time: Godspell, Pippin, and the mega-smash hit, Wicked. Throughout her career, Kelli Rabke has had the opportunity to work with Stephen on several occasions, including the Paper Mill Playhouse production/American Premiere recording of Children of Eden where she played "Yonah." Now, she pays tribute to her favorite musical theatre composer who never ceases to amaze and inspire in The Wizard…and I: The Music of Stephen Schwartz.
