Words cannot express the awesomeness that was Wicked! Wow! And this is coming from a person who pretty much didn’t like the Wizard of Oz at all! (haha..^^;;;)
Anyway, the story itself was incredible. I really have to read the book, now! If I can consider it canon, then I would definitely be a fan of Wizard of Oz now. LOL
The production was incredible. Besides Pantages being a beautiful theatre, man, the set was incredible! The costumes were amazing and the performers did an amazing job! I are super fan of Eden Esponosa, now! LOL
I had briefly heard the music in the past and after hearing it in its entirety, I appreciate the dialogue and lyrics –super funny! XD
Here are some pics from my evening. 😀 Our wedding host, Joseph Tran, bought Win and I tickets for the Thursday night performance. Such a generous gift! (Technically, our first wedding gift! haha) It was our first Broadway musical together and we both really enjoyed it! There’s just something about the experience of seeing a musical live that makes it so magical & breath taking.
So, Wicked was spectacular. Go see it!
The Pantages Playbill. I have one extra. 😮
Inside the Pantages. This statue was neat! Very Art Nouveau decor! There was so much to look at!
Loved the arches and detailing!
Yar! I spent alot of time looking UP inside the theatre! The blue and gold was STUNNING!
This scene was so cool and soooooooooo AWESOME! Gah!~ With the lights the way they were, she looked amazing! And the gigantor black cape was freakin’ cool, too. Loved the song!
Yay, Wicked!! I loved it too. Did you see Megan Hilty as Glinda? She was my favorite. 😀 It’s great that you saw Eden Espinosa, as she’s leaving at the end of the year!
Re: the book– it’s very different from the musical.
Yay! Yes, Megan Hilty was Glinda and she was spectacular! LOL
I wiki-ed Wicked (lol) and I read that the book was different! Still makes me a bit curious… ^^;
Ooh. Nice ceiling! I think I’ve seen this book around, I never really knew what it was about. I’ll check it out if it comes to our town.
Thanks for sharing!
