Wicked--the musical

[MoonStar17]

I really would like to see Wicked when it comes to Miami. I have already given big hints ...

I LOVED the book...

I haven't yet read the sequel but it is on my to read list.

I do agree that this a "book club" kinda book as in I wished I had someone to discuss it with after I finished it.

It got me very interested in the author Gregory Maguire...he has several dark sides of fairy tale books.

I have read both Mirror Mirror, and Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister...both follow the same dark, slightly twisted paths...but both are GREAT!

If you liked Wicked, I would DEFINETLY try some of the others...

Bumping this because I just YouTubed Adam Garcia in Wicked...

That boy best be glad that he's a hottie because the boy can't. sing.

He must be an amazing actor to pull Fieryo off with as bad as his singing is. In fact, unless it was just a really bad night, almost everyone in the video I was listening to were pretty bad. I know it's someone recording in the theater with probably pretty low-tech equipment...but low tech doesn't make someone off-key.

I looked for another video, and he was a tad more on key. He does fine on the staccato, fast sections, but I cringe anytime he has to hold a note more than two beats.

I'll be the first to admit that the music from Wicked is H.A.R.D. (I karaoked just about the entire score last weekend)...but when you're a professional, you're expected to AT LEAST be on key.

For some reason I thought it was the 23rd. We couldn't figure out why the tickets weren't available. So we hid in a back room on the computer when the 24 other family members were trying to take a family picture. Oops! I will be buying them at 12:01 on Friday!

This was the best musical I have ever seen. Beats Evita, Lion King, Evita, Chicago, Chorus Line...
Of course, I haven't seen Jersey Boys yet

Everyone at church/work/wherever people know me keep telling me about Wicked coming to Charlotte. Yeah, I know, I've had my tickets since August.
