Wicked The Musical

Despite being fairly young, I personally have become quite a fan of musicals and this is one the reasons why. Wicked follows Elphaba who is aklso known as the Wicked Witch of the West in the acclainmed Wizard of Oz and has a constant message of how people are cvonstantly misunderstood despite their good iontentions, something which everyone in life has an experience of. He green appearance is complimented by the traditional characters of Dorothy , The white witch, Tin Man, Lion and the scarecrow, to name a few. The plot itself takes guideliens from the Wizard of Oz but revolutionizes it and makes the audience see the story in a totally different light. I saw the show ...  Read the complete review

On a trip to the O2 last year to see Kylie, my bloke spotted a poster for the musical Wicked, and had been going on about going to see it ever since. So when his birthday rolled round this year, I bought us tickets to see the show. WOW Wicked is wicked! From the stage curtain showing the map of Oz, to the dragon above and the Oz Dust Boutiques selling the merchandise (yes spent far too much in there) everything was amazing. The voices were stunning, it's still hard to believe that such perfect voices were coming out of the people on the stage. The mix of humour into the story was just right, the love triangle in the plot was not ...  Read the complete review

Wicked takes a magical twist to the story of the 'Wizard of Oz' and is musical theatre at its best. The two stories entertwine perfectly, and this adaptation of the book is truly a masterpiece. This is a classic in the making, with some of the most memorable musical moments in West End/Broadway history. The storyline will bring you laughs and tears, with the characters finding a firm place in your heart no matter what your age. The music is enchanting and catchy, with elaborate cast numbers and chilling solo's from the leads. You literally feel the hairs on your neck stand on end. There is a classic in the making with 'Defying Gravity' ...  Read the complete review

I am a big fan of West End shows and Wicked is be far my absolute favourite. This show is simply incredible; the production is professional, the dancing wonderful and the story magical. The show tells the story of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch and their lives before and though the story of the Wizard of Oz. The story is enchanting with great morals that we should not judge a book by its cover and that we should not believe everything we hear. The story starts with the two young girls starting school with many hopes and dreams, they immediately become enemies and as the story progresses they develop a meaningful friendship which takes ...  Read the complete review

This show is mind blowingly awesome. It puts a smile on your face the whole show through and you'll want to watch over and over again. Going to the west end will always guarantee a magical experience (pun not intended) but this really is in a league of it's own. The script is extremely clever, funny and highly entertaining. It tells the untold story of the witches of Oz and goes on a journey with them as they go from enemies to friends. It starts with them at university and then as their individual paths take them to different places we see the struggles and scarifies that they make. The way that this connects to the wizard of Oz is ingenious. I ...  Read the complete review
