Wicked.

[seldear]

Gorgeous sets. Beautiful score. Amazing singing. Wonderful special effects. Bittersweet story.

So glad I went. So. Glad. Thanks, tv_elf! Now I need a 'Wicked' icon.

I wish they had more musicals in Australia, because I would so. be. there.

*sings*
It's time to try defying gravity!
I think I'll try defying gravity!
And you can't pull me down...

*sigh* Sleep in tomorrow. Nice.

What did you see?!

'Wicked' the musical. Was great.

Ooh sounds great! I think I might have heard of it :)

I dragged her to see Wicked (the story of the Wicked Witch of the West). I desperately wanted to see it again (I saw the preBroadway rehearsals a year or so ago), and was like a crack dealer to Sel. "You know you wanna see it... It'll make you feel *good*." :P

Heh. 'Dragged'? I think I came quite willingly. :)

And I still owe you the money for this.

Dude, read the book. It's even better because it's a lot more layered. Plus...Oz!

[seldearslj.livejournal.com]

LOL. On my 'to buy' booklist.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is just one of those things that makes my world a better place. It's pretty much my literary security blanket.

Hee! Can you imagine them trying to get all that density of social/religious/political stuff into a musical? It'd be longer than Nicholas Nickleby...

Wheeeeee! Glad you enjoyed. :-D I'm nervous every time someone sees it -- I'm unreasonably afraid my gushing has raised expectations too much, and if they don't care for it it's All My Fault. Which is absurd, but I guess fairly common when we're spilling our obsessions everywhere. Although theatre fandom obsession is a trifle costlier than TV or movie...

And I've made a few icons, but keep forgetting to update my site with them, and forgot to bookmark the post where I put them... *facepalm* Will try to get the site updated soon.
