My new fave -> Wicked the Musical
Recently, Zak and I went to go see Wicked the musical at the Playhouse Square. The story is
based on a novel called Wicked by Gregory Maguire who is known for his revisionism of classic children's stories. In this case, in Wicked he changed the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz into the sympathetic, lovable Elphaba. The theatre was sold out and the show was amazing!! We got great seats (2nd row from the pit). It's a whole new experience when you're not watching from the back wall. I think it's definitely worth the money. Also I loved how the characters and music exposed the positive motifs of the novel. It was touching and powerful when the main characters sang about their friendship and staying true to their beliefs. I cried during Defying Gravity, I'm Not that Girl, and For Good. In the end, one good thing came out of this and that is Zak and I plan on going more often. YaY!
