Wicked - The Musical

About 3 months ago, we purchased tickets to see Wicked at the Fox for Halloween night and Friday was finally the big night! I had only heard of Wicked a few years ago...It's the story of Elphaba (otherwise known as "The Wicked Witch of the West" in the Wizard of Oz)and how she became to be known as wicked. It tells how she was born with green skin, ridiculed, laughed at, became best friends with Glinda ("The Good Witch") and completely misunderstood as being "wicked". The storyline ties into the Wizard Of Oz brilliantly. I am not sure if it was the writer's creativity or how I related with Elphaba that made me cry and laugh out loud. The performance by a talented cast, costumes and stage details were simply amazing and in my opinion, truly hands down, the best musical I have ever seen. The music, singing and acting were top notch by all cast members and with each song/act I was drawn more and more into the story. I left longing to see it again and again. I can only hope Wicked is made into a movie so all can see...how only seeing and hearing one side of a story can make for someone to be so easily misunderstood! I loved it and highly recommend anyone that has an opportunity to see this musical...do indeed! A++ http://www.wickedthemusical.com/
