Alexander1982:

By the way I have a song in my head right now "defying gravity"

So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky
As some one told me lately
Everyone deserves a chance to fly
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free!

I don't know about you guys but after watching Wicked in Melbourne, I no longer see the Wicked Witch of the West as the same anymore. When I first saw the Judy Garland movie as a child I thought "ok she is a typical villian, doesn't like people very much, really wants power, will hurt those who stand in her way, a dead ugly person (in the musical she is not so ugly) and quite a big bad bully with powers"

But after the musical I was surprised she was not an evil woman in the first place. She is an intelligent but lonely girl who doesn't agree with the Wizard of Oz's laws on Animals. And the big question that Glinda asks is "Are people born wicked, or is wicked thrusted upon them?

i saw wicked last week in melbourne it was fantastic, i totally agree with you about elpheba, i felt really sorry for her, the way she was treated for being different, i would love to see this again

I saw Wicked two nights ago, the performance was AMAZING! They really did outdo themselves, I couldn't have been more impressed, if you get the chance to watch it... do it!

I've seen Wicked four times now, all with different people playing Elphaba so I've been quite lucky.
Unfortunatley I live very far away from London so I've not been able to afford to go anymore, it's really worth it though if you can manage it. I love it.

'Wicked The Musical', prequel to the 'Wizard of Oz', has become one of the best-selling Broadway shows of all time.
Discover the story of Elphaba - the character who evolves into the Wicked Witch of The West - and her struggling relationship with her sister, Glinda (the good witch). As a backstory to the Wizard of Oz, the story begins before the arrival of Dorothy - and examines Elphaba's transition into the evil witch.

It's amazing. I saw it in April when it came to the BJCC. It was kinda like a 20th birthday present.

It's how Glinda became the good witch of the North and how Elphaba became the wicked witch of the west

I want to see it desperately. My best friend went to see it and she went on about it for a month which made me want to see it, too. But I can't now.

This is my all time favorite musical. I saw it in NYC. It is amazing!

i considered seeing it, but i saw chicago instead, which may've been a mistake, cause i'd seen chicago the movie version, and i'm also seen it locally, so maybe i should've gone to see wicked instead, i've heard the music, but have never seen it. but my sister saw it when she went to new york several years ago

I'm trying to see Wicked when I take a weekend trip to NYC on Friday. It's my mother's favorite play and I want to be able to talk to her about it. Plus I've heard it's amazing.
