Okay everyone, I have seen Wicked, the musical 5 times now, and can't wait to see it again. Lots of people I know are now addicted to it. So, anyone seen it? Any comments? I would love to hear about it.

I saw it when it first opened and loved it. I recommend you rent the Wizard of Oz before going to review the story, although most of us probably have the entire movie memorized.

Wonderful music.

My boss gave me tickets to see it on Broadway last year as a holiday bonus. I'd already memorized the score and was THRILLED to finally see it on stage. It's brilliant! I only wish I'd been able to see Idina Menzel as Elphaba, but it was wonderful nonetheless.

I wish they could get Peter Jackson to do the movie. :P

Well, I know that Idina Menzel was good, because she was the first, but I have to say my favorite Elphaba would have to be Stephanie Block. Who is now doing the lead in the Pirate Queen in Chicago before it hits Broadway. I had the chance to see the original cast in New York right after it opened, but the people I was with thought it sounded stupid, so we didn't go. GRRRRRRR. I should have gone by myself. Anyway, I love the musical so much more than the book, of course, I only listen to audio books, but it's the same. The book was too dark I think. I love how they work so many remarks in from the Wizard of Oz. It is just totally hillarious. You're laughing one minute, then crying the next. So, any favorite actors or actresses from Wicked?

Hi Hunny! I see you live in Chicago, huh? Sounds like I will have to come up there some day and take you to see it. It is incredible! I know you would love it. Have you seen many musicals? I am a piano player, and I have the music to Wicked, and I love to play it.

So Hunny, what's your story? Tell us about you.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
