Wicked

Last night I went to see Wicked with my aunt. I went in, knowing that it was good. I came out with it becoming one of my favorite musicals.

I was blown away by everything. The sets were gorgeous, the music catchy, and kudos to whoever designed the makeup and costumes---I bet you anything Wicked won an award for best costumes at the Tonys. I love the Shiz uniforms so much.

The story was was an interesting take on the Wizard of Oz. I sympathized a lot with Elphaba who was not only an outcast but had to take care of her sister her entire life. And Glinda went through so much character development. Their friendship was great. The corrupt government and racism subplot not only makes the story relevant to many issues people around the world face today, but goes along with the theme that there are two sides to every story. This show also makes great use of humor---especially with the ditzy Glinda in the first act.

I liked the singing too. Man can the actress playing Glinda go high! I think she goes up to a high B at some points. Loved the harmony in many of the songs especially with Glinda and Elphaba. 

If you ever get a chance go see this! You won't regret it!

One last thing.

TOSS TOSS!
