I feel like such an awful person, but maybe I just haven't experienced enough of Wicked. I, personally, don't see what all the rave is about. I mean, the story seems good - but not extraordinary. And the music of it that I have heard (I haven't heard all of it) isn't that great.

My bestest is into Wicked, though. She's always hooting about it.

its okay, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. but if i hadnt seen wicked, i wouldnt have seen rent, so thats another thing.

Mm, that would totally change things, hrm? I try to keep an open mind about it, because I'd still like to see it live. It seems like a very detailed setting.

I fell in love with Wicked and then freaked out when I heard Deena was in Rent, so it will always have a special place in my heart <3

I like it a lot, especially the big group numbers, like No One Mourns The Wicked and Thank Goodness, and the Deena-belting songs, like The Wizard And I and Defying Gravity

i sang defying gravity for a recital when i was in 5th grade, and now, even though it was a few years ago, whenever this kid sees me, he sings defying gravity. badly. so i made a deal with him. if i sing defying gravity for the variety show, he shuts up. but now im really nervous... defying gravity is a big number...

Ooh, so you got the grimmerie, Lil_Red. I liked how they included most of the libretto.

Haha. It does for me as well, theoretically. Except that my RENT bible doesn't fit onto any of my shelves =P So my Grimmerie and Avenue Q book are on the shelf, and RENT is on my desk. Grr.

I do wish the Grimmerie had included the entire libretto, though, as advertised.

Ok, Wicked. Wicked was also the thing that brought me into the world of professional theatre, and RENT, although I didn't realize Idina was in RENT until a few days of listening to the OBCR.

Wicked is my favourite Broadway show, and in all honesty, I can't really defend it. Do I think it's the "best" show? Absolutely not. And I can definately see why people don't care for it. But I love it. I love it's scale and it's story, it's characters, and it's heart. I think the heart is the biggest part, for me, although Elphaba, as a character stands out as well. It's not a deep, thought-provoking musical; but musical's don't have to be deep and thought-provoking to be entertaining and touching. They didn't begin that way. Wicked has something to connect to everyone of us, and it pulls that.

As I said, I can't really explain it. To me, it's just a lovely show, and it makes me feel better than any other show I have loved. I'm psyched to see it again =) Ah, how I love Christmas gifts...

I love Wicked so much. I've pretty much worn out my cd and my Grimmerie is looking a bit tattered from me reading it so much. I can't wait to actually see it (January 31st!!!!)

I love Wicked! biggrin I really wanna see it! But I doubt that will ever happen. crying
But I've read it, and I'm almost done with Son of A Witch. I can't wait for A Cowardly War to come out. It's the third in the Oz series.
