The title in itself is catchy but so is the musical play of Wicked. Wicked is performed in New York City at the Gershwin, it is an outstanding performance that everyone should go and see. The show is based on the wicked witch from Wizard of Oz, and her experiences of her entire life and how she got framed. Since I have never seen the Wizard of Oz it was really confusing at the beginning to understand what was happening and also what was going to happen. The performance was truly outstanding, I thought I had seen the best with the Shakespeare Festival Theatre but no this is the best of the best but you are on broadway to say the least. From the outstanding singing to the anticipation of what was going to happen next it truly was jaw dropping for me. I knew there was hype and it was supposed to be good, but experiencing it first hand and being a true RUSH fan and being moved by the music of Wicked was truly amazing because sometimes music is just nothing theres no meaning and like heavy metal it sounds like garbage to say the least. The performers that cast in Wicked definately profit from the performances they put on, and so do the director and anyone else that has to do with the entire performance of this spectacular piece of musically intense drama. Even with it being shown at the Gershwin Theatre months after its release the demand to see the performance is still extremely high, the show our band went to see was sold out, this alone speaks on how amazing it must actually be. Since this is a performance lots of people enjoy because of the story and the music itself it lifts you beyond limits and takes you to a different place. When I saw this musical it was as if I was in a dream, but when intermission came and I saw all my bandies I was dissapointed. The reason this musical is so succesful is because it has a great story line and great performers to give you the bang for your buck, it truly is an amazing show and if you get a chance to travel and see it at the Gershwin Theatre you will be amazed by what you see.
