1   Review by: kat, Aug 8, 2010
I don't really have much to say that has already been said - but I just wanted to say that I read the book before watching the show.
The show obviously had to take out certain things from the book. The whole thing at the beginning of the novel with the Time Dragon wouldn't be Broadway- or child-friendly enough, and it would probably end up being a lot more boring for the audience. The point, sadly, of Broadway shows nowadays is to keep ... read more

2 Get a good nap before seeing this performance!  Review by: SirMac, Aug 5, 2010
This was the most underwhelming, hyped production I have ever seen. The music was average and unmemorable. The storyline was convuluted and slow developing. The acting and singing were well performed, but without a faster moving storyline and more "catchy" songs the performances were for naught. I easily could have fallen asleep during Act I (my wife did) or departed after it ended. I may have been a victim of high-expectations for this ... read more

5 Great Show  Review by: Performer in the Arts, Jul 16, 2010
Amazing production I loved it this is the second Broadway show I have seen the 1st being Mamma Mia when I was really little but I remember it, I thought the lightning was amazing and the cast humorous and sincere, Fantastic to take the family even little kids will just enjoy the colorful costumes and catchy songs. Enjoyable through and through

6 Readers of Wicked will NOT enjoy this 'masterpiece'  Review by: Marcus B, Jul 12, 2010
Seriously. I don't see why people see this as such a great Musical. I just saw it with my family and, given all the hype, had really high expectations. I came in and was wowed by the set, but when it started...I felt a little torn.
I read the book, so I think that's why I'm not so happy about this. They took out a lot. A lot. And messed up a lot of it too. Little things here and there made me more and more furious. Until, I almost walked out ... read more

10 Behind the Emerald Curtain is a MUST for anyone who loves theatre!!  Review by: Kinderhook Duo, May 16, 2010
My 11-year old daughter and I went to see Wicked and also got tickets to attend the "Behind the Emerald Curtain" tour (held each Saturday morning from 10-11:30am). The show itself was obviously GREAT but we were really impressed with what we learned at the tour given by Sean McCourt and Anthony Galde (members of the Wicked cast and Broadway veterans). Anyone in town on Saturday should buy the $30 ticket to attend this. It doesn't matter ... read more

11 Believe the hype.  Review by: Cody K., May 15, 2010
Believe the hype. Wicked is an amazing show telling the story of how the Wicked Witch of the West became so, "Wicked."
Many people ask the question of whether or not it's necassary to have seen the original Wizard of Oz film to understand the plot of this musical, and the answer is no. You will notice certain things from the film, but this is a completely original musical.
The music is incredible in this musical. The effects are ... read more

13 BEST EVER..... BROADWAY THE WAY IT SHOULD BE !  Review by: Merlin53, Apr 8, 2010
I just don't get it! I have seen Wicked 6 times in the past three years and it continues to WOW me everytime. How anyone can not enjoy this show is beyond comprehension. Stephen Scwartz is a musical genius and hit lightning in a bottle with Wicked. Music, story, sets, production are all outstanding....not too mention all the life lessons thrown in along the way on your journey to OZ. All I have left to say to those detractors is maybe you need ... read more

14 Aboustely WICKED !  Review by: al, Mar 30, 2010
GREAT!The story, music and set were terffic. I have seen many shows and this is the BEST! No wonder is was called the best musical of the decade. Mandy Gonzalez and Katie Rose Clark were very good. The best song was Defying Gravity.
