Wicked

Wicked is my all time favorite musical ever!!!!!! Okay,that was very redundant. Anyway I absolutely luvs this musical!!!! Wow, I sure am using a lot of exclamation points. I saw this in Milwaukee one year for my birthday and it was absolutely fantabulous!!! In the original Broadway production of Wicked, the two main character were played by only the two best people ever!!! Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth!!!! Yayz!!!! So the story of Wicked is really and adaptation of the Wizard of Oz. It's about how the Wicked Witch of the West (Elphaba) isn't really bad. She's just misunderstood. That's what Glinda is trying to convince everyone. But all the towns people are all like "No one mourns the wickeddddd!" And because nobody will believe her Glinda has to tell the story of how they were friends and all that jazz. Oops,wrong musical. Okay please hold for a moment while I find out a bunch of facts about Wicked.
                 Okay, I'm back. So first fact1 Like most musicals Wicked actually started out as a book! It was written by a guy named Gregory Maguire. Next fact which really surprised me was that when the book was written Gregory Maguire actually used L. Frank Baum's (the guy who wrote the Wizard of Oz) initials to get the name Elphaba. Also, in the original version Wicked, Fiyero was introduces with a song called Which Way's the Party. But Steven Schwartz eventually changed that because it didn't work as well with the musical. Weirdest thing of all was that at Idina Menzel's audition her voice cracked while trying to hit that last high note in Defying Gravity. But she still got the part which is fantabulous!!!! So yeah that's a bunch of cool facts about Wicked tune in next time for whatever musical I happen too choose.
