Also More than just a tourist trap!
Friends make the best enemies...
Jennifer DiNoia (Elphaba) KILLS it with a powerful, emotional voice that has the applause sweeping through the theatre like a tidal wave.
Kara Lindsay (Glinda) is equally adept but with all the comic lines done in endearing fashion.
The tale of these two enemies from the classic Oz tale is given a new back story, one in which they were once good friends separated by circumstance.
Elphaba's childhood was filled with pain and scorn due to her green hue (Wouldn't she and The Phantom make a socially anxious power couple?) and she is forced to room with perky and privileged Glinda, much to their eventually, mutual benefit.
Although some of the connections between Wicked and Wizard don't line up very well, taken on its own merit, Wicked is a beautiful prequel to a beloved story. The Gershwin Theater is big and bold and the perfect place for the ambitious production with lush sets and lavish period costumes.... Read more Read less
