WICKED good.

This is the story of a tragedy turned into good fortune.  The tragedy was that my roommate Lauren's mom was supposed to visit her a couple of weekends ago, but she got ridiculously sick and couldn't make the trip.  I regret to inform you that she never did make the trip.  However, the good fortune that resulted was the Lauren asked me if I would like to go see Wicked with her and her friend, Daphne.

This show was BY FAR the best show I've seen to date (including Avenue Q, Marry Poppins, and American Idiot).  Everyone has seen The Wizard of Oz - which portrays the Wicked Witch of the West as just that, wicked.

Wicked is "the untold story of the witches of Oz."  One witch, born with green skin is a gifted student but is largely misunderstood.  The other witch, is the most popular and beautiful student in school.  Wicked tells you the story of their friendship, and how they ended up being the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch.

My favorite part about Wicked was that it tells a story that was untold before this.  There are tie-ins to the Wizard of Oz which, if  you're familiar with the movie, will be easy to catch on to.  Throughout the play, you're filled in on both witches, Dorothy, the Cowardly Lion, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the infamous flying monkeys.

I absolutely LOVED this show.  If you want to see something on Broadway - SEE WICKED!

Positives:  AWESOME show
Negatives:  Lauren's mom being sick = (
