I happen to looooove both the book and the musical. I read the book in 2003 and then found the soundtrack to the muscial in 2004. I finally saw the musical in NY in the summer of 2005 and practically cried throughout the entire thing, I was so exc ited to see it. I just find the musical very powerful.
I am in the middle of Son of a Witch and can't wait to finish it.

Ok, I've made it about halfway in the book (Glinda, Elphaba, and Nessa have just been "propositioned" by Morrible)...please tell me it gets better....so far it's not what I expected at all. I thought it would be sort of like Harry Potter - meant for teenish age, but older people enjoy it too... I was shocked when I started reading...definately NOT for kids!
