Wicked
The new musical "Wicked" is coming to our town at the end of the month. That's the Broadway show that tells the backstory of the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch and how they were at one point two unlikely friends.
Has anyone seen it? Heard about it? The music and lyrics are done by the same guy who did Godspell, Pocahontas and The Prince of Egypt. The play is based on the 1995 novel by Gregory Maguire. Anybody read it?
My 14-year-old daughter wants to see it and the whole thing sounds intriguing to me. Just wondered if anyone out there has seen it.
Btw, if you haven't signed up for our latest contest, click here.

I haven't seen it, but quite a few of my friends said they loved it. And I've heard the soundtrack and I really enjoy it.
I would definitely see Wicked if it was playing in my area.

The closest I can come is a great appreciation for the green-skinned, 1950's-looking witch chick, stirring a pot of equally green money, on the front page of The Wall Street Journal's Weekend Edition. The headline is "How 'Wicked' Cast Its Spell" and it's a long article about how the originally "troubled" show was turned into "a marketing machine." Definitely looks intriguing! There's also a picture inside of little girls dressed like witches waiting outside a NY theater to get in to see a performance. Other than that, I do own a beautiful cardboard stand-up of Glynda the Good Witch, with her luvly pink bouffant skirt. Definitely our most elegant cardboard friend! :o)

Well, I'm gonna try to get some tickets. I'd really like to go and it will be fun to "bond" with my teen.
Thanks, girls!
