Q&A With ‘Wicked’ Composer Stephen Schwartz Happening In Malta
Unless you have been living under a rock, you now know that Stephen Schwartz is coming to Malta in September.
Schwartz is the Oscar, Grammy, and Tony Award-winning composer behind global hits such as “Wicked,” “Pippin,” and “The Prince of Egypt”.
Due to the high demand for the nearly sold-out “Stephen Schwartz: Defying Gravity – Live in Concert,” producers have added a special matinee show of the Wicked composer’s Malta performance.
This additional show, taking place on 29th September at 2.30pm at the Mediterranean Conference Centre, has limited ticket availability due to logistics related to capturing this momentous occasion on film.
With the evening show almost full, an added matinee performance creates yet another opportunity for families and students to attend.
Following the matinee performance, audiences will be invited to participate in an exclusive Q&A with Schwartz and the stars of the show to discuss the artistic process and their careers.
He will be joined by the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of The Hon. Ian MacGregor, as well as a number of Broadway stars and local favourites Ira Losco, Destiny and special guest Joseph Calleja.
In addition to the concert, Schwartz and select singers and orchestra members will host a Q&A session immediately following the newly-added matinee performance. This unique opportunity will allow attendees to engage directly with the artists, making the experience even more special for aspiring performers and theatre enthusiasts. Audience members at the matinee performance will also be part of a special filming session, capturing the magic of this unique event for posterity.
With only a few seats available for this intimate matinee show, tickets are expected to sell fast.
Audiences are encouraged to book early to avoid disappointment. Tickets are available now at showshappening.com.
The Broadway stars who will be joining Schwartz are Matthew James Thomas, Keri Rene Fuller, and Michael McCorry Rose.
Besides Wicked and Pippin, Schwartz is best known for the songs When You Believe, performed by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston for the animated movie The Prince of Egypt, Colors of The Wind from Pocahontas, Out There from The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and a number of live-animation musical cross-overs Enchanted and Disenchanted from Walt Disney Pictures.
