Wicked

Last Saturday we went to the Apollo Victoria and saw Wicked in London's West End! We loved how clever the show is--the writing is incredible! And the cast of this production was extremely talented! We had seats in the very front row, so we could also see the orchestra director getting into the music, sometimes even singing along to the (fabulous) songs.

The girl who played Elphaba (the "wicked" witch) just returned this month from playing the role at the Gershwin on Broadway in New York--her voice is incredible! And the girl who played Glinda (the "good") was so funny; we LOVED that character.

We enjoyed the way this musical made us look at things in a different way--not just the witches of Oz, but issues of perception and popularity and image. It was witty and wonderful! And Wicked :)
