Corrections

* The role of The Wizard in the new musical “Wicked” at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle is played by Christopher Russo. The wrong performer’s name was listed in a review on Page C3 Saturday.

* A hot air balloon made an intentional landing into an inaccessible grove of trees east of Everett Friday afternoon. The balloon had been in the air for less then two hours when winds required the pilot to land. Firefighters cut their way through the woods to guide the balloonists out. A story on page B1 Friday incorrectly reported how long the flight lasted.
