WICKED, backstage

This was near the end of our run...the show was moving on to Oberhausen after 2 years or so in Stuttgart. I was given one of the lead's camera and she asked me to take photos backstage of whatever...I took a series of myself with some of her costumes/ accessories on in strange poses. Im forever entertaining and laughing but I knew this was the end of something I'd miss forever. The crazy theater lifestyle isn't for everyone........but it was my life for several bizarre years. When you hear/see a show 7-8 shows a week for an extended period, it's possible to let the meaning slip away and the songs lose their power. Wicked never lost its power...it was always and is always still with me. Thank you to the cast and crew that were my family for so long. I miss each of you- even if i couldn't stand to see some of you some days. lol. This was a tough part of my life...with such a serious injury to my back and the drugs for pain. I could go on for weeks..but I'll add more later. Wait for it. In pieces, Sean
