Wicked Names Christina Alexander New Director of Social Responsibility
Christina Alexander, who is the founder and lead consultant of Alexander Consulting Group,  has been named the new Director of Social Responsibility for the Broadway, National Tour and London productions of Wicked.

This isn’t easy, but it is absolutely worth it.” As previously announced, Wicked will resume Broadway performances at Broadway’s Gershwin Theatre on September 14.
