Wicked the musical


Wicked Broadway Musical is another one of my all time favorite performances in theater arts. The story is absolutely stunning, involving intertwining events of adventure, spontaneity, love, friends, evil sorcerers and more. Of course everyone is familiar with the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz  which is actually based on the same novel that Wicked the play is based on. This story of two unlikely friends just captivates all who see it, embarking on a miraculous adventure and enduring the struggle of finding truth beyond what you see. Its the main character's opposing personality that rivals the evil ways of the corrupt government. Unfortunatly these two friends, the good witch and the bad witch cannot uphold this "friendship" that just seems too perfect to be true. It is the moment when the audience realizes that the evil witch is in fact jealous of the good witch and lets her jealousy get the best of her. And just like every other good story of evil sorcery and fantasy, the bad witch will never prevail. Just like what holds true for the real and mortal world we live in, good will always prevail. Thus the story ends with a miraulous finale, but you will only have to see this Broadway musical to know for yourself.

Broadway has outdone themselves yet again with this beautiful performance of Wicked. The costumes are incredibly elaborate. The lights and action illuminate the stage perfectly, really making one feel like they've been literally sucked into this mystical world of witchcraft and wizardry. You are sure to fall in love with this Wicked Broadway Musical. I'll tell you, they've really mastered the famous melting scene of the evil wicked witch. You can almost smell her green skin sizzle as she dissipates into thin air, never to be seen again. Just jaw dropping.
