This is not Paul Tazewell’s first trip down the yellow brick road. “I've probably done five, six productions of The Wiz,” he says, of the cult 1974 adaptation of L. Frank Baum’s classic novel, for which he won a Primetime Emmy for its live TV production in 2016. “I did my first production when I was in high school,” he adds, grinning. “It means I have been immersed in this culture and the world of The Wizard of Oz for such a long time.”
The Oscar-nominated and Tony Award-winning costume designer, has now spun his magic on the movie adaptation of Wicked. It is perhaps one of the more famous chapters in the universe of The Wizard of Oz; based on the novel by Gregory Maguire and the blockbuster stage musical. Tazewell’s knowledge of, and reverence for, the source material, undoubtedly made him the ideal candidate for the job.
