Wicked Cool
Posted By Ardellis on September 20, 2007
For our anniversary on Tuesday, my husband took me to Wicked, which I’ve been wanting to see since it was first staged. I’m a huge fan of the book, and I was thrilled with the idea of its being made into a musical.
You know what? It makes a very fun musical. No, musically, it’s not in the same category as Camelot or Phantom of the Opera, but who can resist the schoolgirl days of the Wicked Witch of the West? The cast was great, especially the actresses playing Elphaba and Glinda. The sets were gorgeous. And the costumes? Oh, dearie me, the costumes would give certain sewing-inclined friends of mine fits of creative ecstasy. They made some major changes to the book’s original plot, but it works.
And you know, Kermit was right: It’s not easy being green.
