Most people who know me know that I have a slight obsession for the musical Wicked. Okay, more than slight. I was fortunate enough to see Wicked twice in Chicago, and it is amazing! By far the best show I have ever seen, or ever will see. I have the t-shirt, CD, sheet music book, know ALL the lyrics to every song in the show, and may even have a Wicked cookie sitting on my desk that I refuse to eat- I am saving it forever. The cookie with the Wicked Witch frosted on it sits in its saran wrap on my desk and gives me great joy when I look at it :)
But my Wicked cookie is not the point. My love of Wicked goes beyond the promotional items-- I love the story. The plot ideas is genius... the story of the relationship between the Wicked Witch and Glinda the Good Witch pre-Wizard of Oz. Or, as the tag-line of the musical so famously states "So much happened before Dorothy dropped in." Brilliant.
Even though the show has now left Chicago after a hugely successful four-year run, the adoration I feel for Wicked will never change.
