Stephen Schwartz is done with the XXXXX / Kennedy Center

Stephen Schwartz, the composer of 'Wicked,' says he'll no longer host a gala at the Kennedy Center.

"It no longer represents the apolitical place for free artistic expression it was founded to be,l Schwartz said. "There's no way I would set foot in it now."
