Leaving the Broadway theatre after seeing WICKED, I conceived that there must be an - - ANGELIC.  It was not an immaculate conception, however.   It was years later before pen and paper came together. My father after reading an early draft, said “it was pure heresy” …  THAT’S when I knew I was on to something!
