Dee Dee Bridgewater won a Tony playing Glinda, the Good Witch of the South, not Addaperle.

Shout out to the memory of Clarice Taylor who originated the role of Addapearl (at a time when it was a significantly larger role than it is today).

Thanks for this. I can't wait next week. I wanted Stephanie Mills but I was too young. The movie wss was terrible.

[@gaillamar951]

There's nothing like the original

[@clarkclarke]

Of course there isn't ..a lot of people will NEVER see the original so not sure why continue to compare 🤔 .. these young artist can't win for losing ...

[@ripleylockerbie9830]

What they said ^^

[@g.j.milano3516]

Expressing admiration for amazing performances from the original production doesn't mean anyone or anything about the current production is less than winning. To imply that it does is unfair... and wrong. As just one example, even this revival paid tribute to Hinton Battle (original Scarecrow on Broadway) but that doesn't diminish Avery Wilson's excellent performance. Remember, Geoffrey Holder's original production didn't have audiences already familiar with the show and eager to see and love it again. It had to be amazing to be a big hit and this revival wouldn't be happening if the original producing had failed.
