WICKED

I greatly advise anyone who has not seen the play, Wicked, to definitely see it. The props and special effects of this play are PHENOMENAL. It puts on a show that has a twist to the classic story of The Wizard of Oz. It portrays the bad witch as somewhat of a nerd who takes guidance from Glinda to be beautiful. Within this story, Glinda and the bad witch are friends and help each other out. But more importantly, the main character is the bad witch who ultimately wants to defy gravity and take on the world powerfully. When the actress sings the song, "Defying Gravity", she is lifted off the ground which is depicted in such a realistic way by the directors.

However, besides this song, my most favorite has to be when Glinda sings "Popular" to the bad witch and gives her a makeover. I used to know all the lyrics to the song (actually I still do, haha). The relationship between Glinda and the bad witch is expressed in such a different way than the previous story of Dorothy who is not in this play. It is almost as if this play takes place before the witch turns bad and becomes enemies with Glinda and eventually Dorothy. In my opinion, it would be a really cool twist if the directors made a play on what happens after Dorothy goes back to Kansas in the hot air balloon.
