Wicked, the musical

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.

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?

I want to see it soooo bad, but unfortunately I can't afford it right now.

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.
