A "Wicked" Musical
Review by: Jogusboy, Jun 18, 2009
|

This show is absolutely incredible! First of all, the set, lighting and costumes were lavish,colorful, and a pleasute to look at. Every singer in the show had an amazing voice. Each song had something new to offer, and the orchestra was good,too. The show was wonderfully acted, and you felt a connection and empathy for the characters. I saw it on tour, and comparing "our" Glinda to Kristin on YouTube,our Glinda had better acting in the ... read more song "Popular!" She was so over-the-top that everyone was laughing until their was tears in their eyes. It also had an interesting and entertaing story, and the book was full of hilarious one-liners from Glinda especially. It is actually quite different than the novel, but in a good way. If you're worried that it won't live up to the hype, it will. Despite being as talked about as classics such as Phantom, Miss Saigon, The Producers, and Les Miz, this one holds up, and will run for years to come. :) See it! Run and see it!

Best.Show.Ever.
Review by: Allie, Jun 1, 2009
|
|
Wicked is honestly the best musical I've ever seen. I usually cannot see a show more than once but I've seen Wicked four times and can't get enough. I reccomend this show for the young and the young at heart. You won't be dissapointed by the touching story of two best friends that we can all relate to in one way or another. Must see!

WONDERFUL WICKED
Review by: , May 15, 2009
|

I am going to see Wicked for a 5th time (I also saw a "sneak peek" before it even went into previews. On this 5th trip in, I will be taking my second group of Drama students and two "first time" teacher who are extremely excited about going to sse this WONDERFUL show, but I don't think they are more excited than me. It is truly an ingenous show!!!

Is Wicked having growing pains?
Review by: theatremom, Apr 20, 2009
|
|
Wicked is still a great show. The 2009 cast is not as strong as earlier casts, with the exception of the Wizard. Joel Grey was terrific as the Wizard, Ben Vereen just kept playing as Ben Vereen (and playing to the laughs and applause which took away from the show), but the current Wizard seems to know how to blend into the story without getting overlooked. I've seen it with Idina and Kristen, with the two who followed them, and with the current ... read more cast. Elphaba holds up better than Glinda this time around. I love the contemporary score and the overall intensity and sincerity of this show. I found it refreshing and new when it first came out. The only caveat I can see is that it's on the verge now of suffering those adolescent pangs of a show that is no longer new, but it still expected to be "hot." For it to work, the cast has to be fully engaged and this one is in danger of just going through the motions and of overacting rather than truly becoming the characters. But, that's from a repeat viewer. A first timer would probably find the curent show first rate.

Wicked is a Must-See!
Review by: Lam, Apr 10, 2009
|
|
Wicked was a spectacular show that everyone should see! Though I hear that 2009's cast is not as good as before, I believe everyone was amazing! This show will answer every single question you had about "The Wizard of Oz" and more. Be ready for surprises and twists.

3 hours of GREATNESS
Review by: Paulie, Mar 18, 2009
|
|
This show is fantastic. The current cast is even better than the original. (sorry Idena) The only part that was a bit weak was the score, but the fantastic vocals make up for it ten fold. It's a really great twist on an old story.(the musical is not nearly as dark as the book)

MUST SEE!!!
Review by: SIL, Mar 8, 2009

AMAZING...I have seen over 15 broadway shows and this my number one so far. I love it all. The stage was great. I love the different and refreshing perspective of the wizard of oz. In the end I fell in love with the wicked witch. I recommend it highly.
