So I saw
Wicked last night. It was beyond amazing. I'm almost speechless... The drama, and the music, and the effects... I really loved all of it. I just read the book, and finished it yesterday. I highly reccommend the book, just don't read it the day before you see the musical. It didn't ruin much, but it made it a bit confusing. I survived anyway, and I still loved the show. The cast was all amazing, especially this Eden Espinosa (who's pictured here in, um, green) who plays Elphaba. She's such a great actress, she has a good voice, and she's also pretty good looking... (Love that color!)
Anyway, I should probably say a thing or two about what the show is about. Well, the book is pretty much a "biography" of the Wicked Witch of the West (as in
The Wizard of Oz). Elphaba, the witch, was born with green skin and had something of a bad life. She got pretty messed up, but she was never evil. Oh, and by the way, the evil one is actually the Wizard of Oz himself...
The musical is pretty much the same thing, except that it's a little more about her friend G(a)linda (the Good Witch of the North...) as well as Elphie. (No, I did not make up that nickname, thanks.) Anyway, I reccommed them both.
So, one more thing I have to say, as appeared on the green onesies in the gift shops:
Green Babies Rule!
