Wicked! That's one word to describe this epic broadway musical... A plot parallel to the story we (at least for me) know so well. You will see "The Wizard of Oz" in a different light and more importantly the Wicked Witch of the East in an "amphorous" color.
One quote i rememeber was "The Brocoli is Steamed" and you can only relish on the humor if you are there.
The story takes place in the Land of Oz, centering on Elphaba, the misunderstood, smart, kind and fiery girl with the emerald-green skin who grows up to become the notorious Wicked Witch of the East and Galinda (emphasizing on Ga), the beautiful, blonde, popular girl who grows up to become Glinda the Good Witch of the North.This two girl with a twist of fate becomes roommate unexpected and slowly starts to develop an unlikely friendship, all the whilst struggling through opposing personalities and viewpoints, rivalry over the same love-interest, reactions to the Wizard's corrupt government, and, ultimately, Elphaba's public fall from grace. The plot begins before and continues after Dorothy's (the girl who killed the witch) arrival from Kansa and includes references to locations, events, characters and situations from both the 1939 film and Baum's novel (1939).
Overall ratings: 5/5*
