See What It

Wicked is an amazing musical, and a storyline you are sure to love. The story is based off of the original movie of the 1939 movie, The Wizard of Oz. Wicked is the story of how The Wicked Witch of the West got so wicked.

As I sat attended this performance, my thoughts were continually drawn back to the opera glasses I was using for the performance. The costumes through the glasses were delightful, the singing amazing, the characters entrancing, and stage props amazing. Without opera glasses I am sure that I would have missed out on much of the performance, so to full enjoy the experience when you attend, make sure you remember to bring them.

I love how you learn who the good witch, Glinda and the Wicked Witch of the West truly are. You learn how they acted growing up. You find out how Glinda, (the good witch) really was.

I know that as you attend Wicked you will be shocked and awed at the twist in the original storyline that you did not expect, and you will find yourself sympathizing with the Wicked witch. You will begin to see the Glinda the good witch was not as you would have suspected. Glinda was really a popular spoiled girl, and the Wicked Witch, Elphaba had quite a traumatic childhood. Elphaba was born with green skin, as was made fun of constantly, she had no mother growing up, and was raised solely by her father. You will see that she was not wicked all along, and that she actually did good things. After you have attended this performance, you may find yourself purchasing the t-shirt, hat, or as I recommend the CD to this wonderful performance, you will find yourself listening to it over and over again.

Wicked is one of the most popular musicals to come off Broadway in years, the story is unforgettable, and the music is sure to amaze. Wicked has won many awards for its music and theatrical performances. If after this review you still don’t believe me that it is a remarkable play, simply find someone you know who has seen it, ask them how they felt about it, and you will see what I mean. Opera glasses for this performance are absolutely necessary, so buy them if needed.

Wicked has been hailed as the masterpiece of the year. As this article is being written, Wicked is on its second national tour. Wicked has broken records in box office after box office. As of yet if you have not seen Wicked, you are missing a wonderful show, that you will not soon forget. Buy tickets as soon as possible, although, truth be told, you will have plenty of opportunities to see the performance, as I am sure it will be around for years. Opera glasses are the best way to enjoy Wicked the musical.
