More on Winged Monkeys

Just in case you are going to be getting Wicked tickets for an upcoming performances, you might want to research a little bit about the characters and plot lines in order to really get the full experience. Right now, I’d like to take the time to debunk a common myth or two about some of the most memorable characters from both the Wizard of Oz movie and books, the winged monkeys.

Firs of all, the subject of the name of these creatures is somewhat confusing. The books refer to them as winged monkeys, and the movie lists them as flying monkeys. You can probably use either one interchangeably. People will still know that you mean business. Secondly, a lot of people seem to think that the monkeys are evil. This is untrue. In fact, the monkeys are subject to the commands of their master (whoever controls the Golden Cap), and have no real control over their actions. In this way, they act like genies, who are controlled by the owners of their lamps.

Of course, to get a fuller picture of these remarkable creatures, you ought to got to StubHub.com to get tickets for a performance of the Broadway play Wicked. Then you can debunk winged monkey rumors at parties or whenever conversation turns that way.
