"Coming from a family of three actors, the likelihood of all of us being employed simultaneously is rare," says Brockman. "Two of us being employed together in a smash hit like Wicked is a rare and wonderful experience. I joined the tour in May of 2012, and Jonathan just started with the company last month. Life on the road can be difficult and being away from your family makes it even harder, so it was a dream when Jonathan not only joined the 'Wicked Family' but actually booked the same tour as me. Here's a look at our adventures together in Oz."

Adapted from the novel by Gregory Maguire, Wicked delves into the back story of the iconic characters from Oz. The hit musical has a score by Stephen Schwartz, a book by Winnie Holzman, direction by Mantello and musical staging by Wayne Cilento.

McCarthy, wig and hair design by Tom Watson, music supervision and arrangements by Stephen Oremus, orchestrations by William David Brohn and dance arrangements by James Lynn Abbott.
Wicked won Tony Awards for Costume Design, Scenic Design and Best Actress in a Musical (Idina Menzel). It was nominated as Best Musical.
Next year, Carnegie Hall's house band will perform Bernstein’s “Kaddish” Symphony, unfinished works by Schubert, and the final concert of Conductor Bernard Labadie.
