In an exclusive conversation, the icon of stage and screen on her history-making casting as Madame Morrible in Wicked, why the story of The Wizard of Oz means more to her than arguably anybody else, and how she married her hero. We also discuss working with Viola Davis, the story of her father and musical Gypsy, and the importance of visibility for trans youth. Plus, why she’s forever proud to be “a mixed-race HIV-positive trans woman in a major Broadway musical”.
