1 Everything you could ask for from Stephen Schwartz to Flying Monkeys!!!   Review by: musicmatters007, Jun 27, 2008
Wicked is quite possibly one of the greatest Broadway shows of this generation. I have seen the show I believe three times, and it never ceases to amaze me. After every time I've seen the show, I still can't sleep that night. I've seen it twice in New York and once on tour. Every time has been phenomenal. The set is great, the costumes are fantastic, and the music is, on the contrary to prior reviews, unforgettable. I would ... read more

2 Wicked is the background story of the Wizard of Oz   Review by: coffeenut, Jun 26, 2008
I think there is hardly anyone that doesn't know the story of the Wizard of Oz, only "Wicked" tells the story behind the story, from a completely different point of view of the Bad witch, only it turns out she isn't bad at all! and the show is very magical, with the characters flying on stage and other greta effects. I really like the wicked witch, who was green - that is explained too. You barely see the "original" characters of Dorothy, ... read more

"Wicked" was so much fun! I really looked differently at the Wicked Witch and I also looked differently at the Good Witch. It was a fun point of view!

4 Good...................But not Great   Review by: PLM, Apr 3, 2008
I went to see this show as the only one of a group not to have seen this show at least 4 times, so before the curtain rose i had high expectations, unfortunately i don’t think these where ever met.
The show is a very good show and is exceptionally performed by the lead characters as well as some stunning scenery, however I felt that the supporting cast players/characters lacked any real charisma and the songs where not as memorable as some ... read more

5 Fantastic   Review by: Doodles, Mar 10, 2008
Amazing storyline, music was outstanding and answered some questions. Found the end a bit strange as it tried to change Wizard of Oz but well worth going to see.

10 Truly WICKED! The best musical in London.   Review by: WICKEDWitchOfTheSW, Sep 12, 2007
After reading WICKED the novel, I knew that this was a musical I had to see. I was not disappointed! The story was unique, imaginative and surprisingly sentimental, without being beyond the understanding of the audience. There were clever parallels between events in the witches' Oz and our own world - corrupt government, social stereotypes and racial segregation.

The characters showed development and growth and the audience felt connected ... read more

11 Not for us   Review by: Sylv, Sep 3, 2007
I agree completely with the last review from Steve.
I went to see the show a few days ago and after the first 10 minutes I could quite happily have left.
Myself and my friends found it boring boring boring. Dreadful, unforgettable songs and poor story. Quite frankly,we couldn't wait for it to end.Thank goodness we had discounted tickets. I will say however, that my feelings for the show are not a reflection of the performances/staging etc,... read more

12 Sub-par Disney nonsense   Review by: Steve, May 16, 2007
I guess I saw a different show to everyone else; the score and lyrics are pretty dire. The dark, interesting tone of the story has been downplayed to a sappy ode to friendship with sub-Disney ballads every 5 minutes.
The acting is good, the set is impressive, and the end of the first act provides an amazing spectacle of what can be achieved in the theatre, but as for the rest of the show, I was embarassed for all involved. How can you ... read more
