Wicked the Musical: A Review with Opera Glasses

Written by Jeff Bridges Friday, 25 December 2009 08:21

Wicked the musical is absolutely brilliant. We have all watched The Wizard of Oz, made in 1939, growing up every year. Now everyone can watch The Wizard of Oz anytime they please if they purchase the DVD.

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.

As you begin the story, you start to learn the origin of The Wicked Witch of the West, and Glinda the Good Witch Really was. You will learn about the childhoods' of each of these women, this is a story that is sure to surprise.

You will be surprised at the twists and turns of your feelings on these two characters. In my view, Glinda the good witch was not so perfect after all. Growing up Glinda is one of those spoiled and popular young girls; where as the Wicked Witch of the West, Elphaba, has a terrible childhood. Her childhood is terrible due to her green skin color and people making fun of her. The Wicked Witch of the West has no mother growing up. Elphaba is raised only by her father. You will see the good things that Elphaba actually does. After the end of the masterpiece, you may want to purchase a t-shirt, hat, or a sweatshirt of the Wicked Witch of the West. Most places have Wicked items for sale after the musical. With the touching music you may end up purchasing a CD for your listening pleasure.

If you would like to see one of the most popular musicals in years, Wicked is the performance to see, it has won many national and international awards including a Tony! If you don't believe me, simply find a friend or relative who has seen it, and listen to them rave. When you finally go, make sure you bring your opera glasses to make the show as wonderful as possible.

Of the calendar year of 2009, wicked has been hailed as the top production of this year. Many, many records have been set by this wicked musical, and as this is written, Wicked is on its second national tour, remember to buy tickets fast, when Wicked played in our town, tickets went on sale in late December and were sold out within 3 days, despite the fact that the play was not till May! This is a performance that will be around for years to come, as such, do not fret it you are not able to get tickets this time around, there will be many opportunities to come, and as we always always recommend, don't forget the opera glasses.
