WICKED!

Saw "WICKED!" on Broadway yesterday. It was fantastic! The music, the costumes, the story!! The special effects were phenominal!

If anyone has a chance while in New York--this play is a must see!

You won't be disappointed!

I’ve seen it twice. First, years ago with the original Broadway cast and several years later in Los Angeles. Loved it and enjoyed it more than the book series.

That's definitely a must-see. We enjoyed it very much. So glad you got to go!

It's one of my very favorites.

It will be in Chicago until December 4th, and I bought my daughter 2 tickets as her birthday gift. She saw it many years ago and is going to be thrilled to see it again with her boyfriend.

Dont hate me, but I did not care for Wicked, yes, pretty costumes and production, but story line very hard to follow and music just fair.

@Johnnyeager Thanks for this info! LOVE his music. I guess well never hear him live again, as we knew him. But my memories stay fresh (in my head & heart!)

GREAT music to do "housework to" also. Keeps me mov'n & shak'n that "dust, dirt, & grime."

@Shelbelle

I'm ducking for cover too because I did not like WICKED at all. I have seen so many muscials over the years, many multiple times, and WICKED, along with CATS are my least favorite. And I'm sure now I'll hear a lot about not liking CATS! lol Be kind ladies! lol

My DH surprised me several years ago for tickets to see it. I agree that the music, costumes and performers were excellent.

However I'm not really a fan of that type of story. I don't know what it was but I found my mind wandering. I prefer musicals like Jersey Boys or Beautiful much more.

Of course I told DH how much I loved it because it was rare for him to gift me with something like that.
