This is my second post on a musical, but this one is also justified as it is the winner of three prestigious Tony Awards (that's the theatre version of the Oscars)Wicked is based on the novel of the same name by Gregory Macguire and is about the relationship between the two witches in Oz- The Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch- following them through their childhood and seeing how their relationship changes throughout time up to the point where Dorothy drops in.
The musical has been a massive success in New York, even with quite a bit of negative reviews from the NYC press, saying that it lacks a lot of depth (take this article from NY1 for example) but is a fun story with singing and dancing and memorable songs and characters meant to have any depth when it's just meant for a good night out?
If you want to make that decision for yourself and check out this musical with a difference, go onto Broadway.com and book your tickets on there. (Wicked is in the New York Gershwin Theatre)
