I went to go see the Musical Wicked last night with my wife. It was playing at the Fabulous Fox Theater which is across from where I work, but more importantly across from where I park. I always try to keep an eye out for new shows there since it is easy for me to get to and park for free.

Anyway, the show was very good. The story is about Glinda (played by Katie Rose Clarke) the good witch and Elphaba (played by Carmen Cusack) the wicked witch from “The Wizard of Oz”. The story starts right after the Wicked Witch of the West (Elphaba) is killed by Dorothy throwing water on her. Glinda then tells the story of Elphaba’s life. The show tells how both Galinda and Elphaba become friends in boarding school then leave to join the Wizard of Oz in Emerald City.

The music was very good. The harmonies and melodies were really well done. Since the story mostly revolves around two women, the music was able to have a dueling aspect. The two main characters would have duets that were exceptional. Not to mention the strength of the performers vocal talents.

I think it is a very good production and if you get a chance to go, you should take it.
