Video: Our busy day busking with John Davidson of 'Wicked'
You know John Davidson as a prominent TV game-show host. But he also has an extensive theatrical resume and is currently playing the Wonderful Wizard of Oz in the national touring production of Wicked playing in Denver through July 5.
We recently spent a day with Davidson, who is perhaps best known for hosting The New Hollywood Squares. In the video above, watch as Davidson took an afternoon to do some busking on Denver’s 16th Street Mall. In the video, he also talks to fellow street performers about their craft. (Video by David Lenk for the DCPA’s NewsCenter.)
We also followed along as Davidson was interviewed by Rick Crandall of KEZW, and as he spent an hour co-hosting the Everyday show on FOX-31 with Kathie J.
