Musical

Forget about Dorothy and Toto, the Land of Oz is chock full of incredible stories that happened long before a girl from Kansas and her dog showed up. Wicked explores the story of Glinda the Good Witch and her very misunderstood nemesis Wicked Witch. If you are even remotely interested in big productions and instantly classic songs, Wicked Broadway show is an absolute must see. Wicked was an immediate sensation in New York when it premiered in 2004. That year, it was nominated for 10 Tony awards and won 3 including Best Scenic Design and Best Costume Design. The show itself is absolutely magnificent visually.

In Wicked, we finally get to see how Glinda the Good Witch had a hand in the creation of the Wicked image that her school mate Elphaba eventually embraces. Like many young kids, Elphaba is different. With an astute mind and naturally green skin, Elphaba was never going to fit in. She is both passionate and committed and completely misunderstood by Glinda and her popular friends. Wicked Broadway show brilliantly explores the relationships between women, reminds us that what appears to be true isn't always so, and cleverly takes another look at a classic American icon of evil. You may think that you can't imagine an Oz without Dorothy, the Cowardly Lion, Tin Man, and the Scarecrow. Give Wicked's version of Oz a chance and it will exceed every single expectation you have.

Your children will love Wicked for the beautiful costumes, magic, and songs. You will love Wicked for its smart revision of a classic and incredible acting. Wicked is simply a must-see!

Notes From James:

Want tickets to see Wicked but can't come to New York to see it? Why not see it in the West End next time you are there? The show which opened in September 2006 continues to delight audiences of all ages eight times a week at the Apollo Victoria Theatre. Now when I first saw the show back in 2003 I loved it. Did I think it would become the global phenomenon that is today? No I did not. I don't think anybody did. We know the critics certainly didn't. Oh well. Who's having the last laugh now? By the way for those of you are heading over to London in the coming months and want to see a fantastic show you will find none better than Wicked. Good seats are now available for all performances thru November 2, 2013. Get your tickets to see Wicked at the Apollo Victoria Theatre in London. You will love it. Until next time theatre fans.
