Wicked the Broadway Musical Review

I always enjoy going to Broadway shows, whether it be Les Miserable, Phantom of the Opera or Wicked. Today I wanted to share with you my opinions on the play Wicked. I am not musically inclined nor do I have any training on what makes a musical so good, but what I do offer is the opinion of a regular person. So if you are like me and just want to have a good theater experience then this article is for you.

The play Wicked is a tale of misunderstanding and triumph over evil. It is the story of the Wicked Witch of the West and the unfortunate turn of events that thrust her into the spotlight off being the enemy of all that is good. The play starts out with an amazing number by the munchkin people seeing the words “no one mourns the wicked”. This song sets the stage that describes how important it is to not be wicked otherwise no one will actually care when you are gone. In this song we are also introduced to the witch Glinda. She is kind witch that looks out for the munchkins and always tries to ensure that everyone is happy. Glinda sets the tone of the entire play with her beautiful solo sung against the song of the munchkins. The play then reflects back onto the life of Glinda and how she once knew the witch that would then become the wicked witch of the west, or known at that time as Elphaba.

After a few great songs Elphaba and Glinda become great friends and journey together to the Emerald City. This is where the story takes a turn for the worst for Elphaba and she becomes the Wicked Witch of the West. I will not continue with the story in hopes of not actually spoiling any of the major plot lines for you. However, just after Elphaba is slandered as a bad witch the most brilliant song Defying Gravity is played. In the end I thought that this was my favorite play I have ever seen. Since seeing the actual play I have probably listened to the cd every day for a month. When you see this play for the first time listen carefully to the actual songs being sung because there is some amazing foreshadowing and depth to what is said. There are many life lessons that you can take from this simple play but all of the ideas given will benefit you in some way. If the play Wicked is ever in your city I would suggest you go and get tickets immediately. You may even want to get tickets for multiple nights because I promise you will want to see it again as soon as you finish seeing it for the first time.
