Who’s Watching Wicked the Musical?

Get excited.

Everybody and their AIM buddies is watching Wicked the Musical. Good lord.

Because Wicked is on tour across the United States and permanently stationed in Chicago, LA, and New York City, as well as a several-times-extended stay in Toronto, Canada, and London, England, it’s created what one might consider a large enough population to do effective population sampling. So today we’re going to see what unafiliated people around the world are saying about the Wicked phenomenon.

This frenetic, web-happy youngster was brought from emotional peaks to their attendent valleys, experiencing in this her first musical both high comedy and high tragedy, and connecting with her mother who brought her to the show probably as a result of that deep emotional engagement. A cute site for parents and kids to take a peek at.
This jaded Londoner was absolutely thrilled by the London production of Wicked the Musical, enough to make a conscious decision to commit as much of it as possible to memory, to make modern art with it, to figure out who the cast was, to… essentially, do what normal people do when they enjoy a musical or event like Wicked. See? I said he was jaded.

And this absolutely die-hard fan from Toronto has seen the show lord knows how many times, she can identify changes in the gift shop’s merchandise, for pete’s sake. She has incredibly detailed reviews of every song in the show, and has a great group of friends to talk with about her favorite parts in the show.

In other words, fans of Wicked the Musical are everywhere and they’re over the top wild about the show.
