Wicked. The Play.

Arts & Entertainment Forum

I noticed the Lawless avatar and Mystics avatar were of witch's, and I did some research and found they were both from the play called Wicked.


Was reading up on it and it looked interesting, so I started a thread.

Well, that's about all I got, cept to say, I think the wicked green witch is the CUTE one.


I wouldn't mind seeing this, but will have to wait for the movie, cause I don't plan any trips to New York in the near future.



---Whizzle, broadway play wannabe.

Actually, Wicked is currently playing, in different cities throughout the US. It will be here, in San Diego, in July. I know that it was just recently in the St Louis area, because Mystic went to see it, and had GREAT seats.

If you've read the book, you will find some similarities to the musical... but, it's still different.

I, for one, and a Wicked OBSESSED fan. I listen to the soundtrack, at least, once per day. The story, told in a musical fashion, is moving. The story of Elphaba (the wicked witch of the west) will cause you to fall in love with her. To find that Glinda isn't as "Good" as the title that was given her, by the wizard.... or, that the wizard himself, is as wonderful as was thought.

All I can say is, at least hear the soundtrack, and let it touch your soul.... it's amazing, and filled with such power. Idina Menzel, who played the original Elphaba on Broadway, has a voice that will break your heart, and cause your soul to soar to new heights, as you follow her along from birth, til death.

Is the actress who plays the witch, the same in all the cities?


I'm not big on plays, but I went to a site and saw a very long pictorial of the play, and it looks really neato.

Mystic... did you know that the guy who played Justin on QaF, played Boq, for awhile? One of my best friends has heard him, and said that his voice is AMAZING!

I've heard Shoshana, who played Elphaba after Idina did. She's got a beautiful voice..... but, I'm just an Idina fan, through and through.

Oh, have you looked at the book, The Grimmerie? I got that for my bday, and I LOVE it.

BTW, nikiTa... it might interest you to know that Idina Menzel is the original Maureen, from RENT. She was in the movie that you just saw. *sigh*

If you have fast connection, this site is for you. It has about a 100 good quality pics of the play.

I put the right words in google...

Oh God HELP ME!!!!!!!

From Jewz in the Newz:

I want to see this play. I doubt we'll get it out here though.

We only just got Rent, and I seriously don't want to see that

Mystic.... Stephanie has a wonderful voice but, you're right... she is NOT Idina. There is just a powerhouse inside of that woman!!!! She brings me to tears when she sings. Oh, esp in "The Wizard and I" when she has the vision. "Someday there will be a celebration throughout Oz that's all to do with me" The first time I heard that, I was at work, and just started crying.

Yes, I've got the book, and it's different, and not as enticing as the show. But, it's still a good book. Don't know when I will get "Son of a Witch" but I'm sure that I will soon. Just have too many books on my plate right now.

Yes, Randy played Boq... and I would have LOVED to have seen that show. I can so picture him in that part.

I do too, mystic... a lot. I've re-watched seasons 1 - 4, recently.

The book was really interesting .. his other books are decent, too .. a good twist to those old classics and fairytales.

The book isn't as good as the musical. I think that they did a much better job taking it to the stage, and changing it up a bit. Then again, I'm infactuated, obsessed, and everything else you can say, with Wicked.
