Wicked is simply Wonderful! The songs are diverse in style, the costumes* and set** brilliant, and everything in The Wizard of Oz is explained fairly well!.

I absolutely love Wicked!. Its an amazing show that has truly changed me!.!.!.For Good!.

This is the synopsis from the Wicked the musical website:

Long before Dorothy dropped in, two other girls met in the Land of Oz!. One, born with emerald green skin, is smart, fiery, and misunderstood!. The other is beautiful, ambitious, and very popular!. How these two unlikely friends end up as the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good makes for the most spell-binding new musical in years!.

Wicked, the untold story of the witches of Oz, features music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, and book^ by Winnie Holzman, and is based on the best selling novel by Gregory Maguire^*!. With musical staging by Tony Award-winner Wayne Cilento, Wicked is directed by 2003-04 Tony Award-winner Joe Mantello!.

Yes, the musical is amazing!. The talent is phenomenal, and the music score will leave you breathless!. Sure, I may sound like an advertisement, but Wicked is the best musical I've ever seen, and I hope you and your mom can go see it and have a great time!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

The most amazing play i have ever seen (even on broadway)! the songs stick in your head, but theyre good, and it has a good meaning to it, and it tells what happened (REALLY) before Dorothy came to Oz!. it was so good i saw it 3 times in different cities (amazing all 3 times)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes really good !.We went last year and were taken in by it all !.Just make sure you get seats nearer the front as we had ones up in the gods which meant you could not see their faces too clearly!.
Good as a musical!.funny and symbolic on a fair few levels if you wish to look deeplyWww@QuestionHome@Com

Wicked is very good!. It seems to be a certain age group's play to obsess over, just as a few years ago it was Rent and a few years before that it was PhantomWww@QuestionHome@Com
