Wicked Once Again Prevails!

I am not talking about evil wicked people here, but rather the popular musical which has taken the theater world by storm.  Wicked succeeded in appealing to fans of all ages at the Music Hall in Kansas City- the place where the story of the Oz books all began.  The musical has been recognized as a cash-cow musical and many are speculating that it will hit the $1 billion mark while it remains in Kansas City.  The actors are very talented and the show itself has recieved rave reviews from both fans and critics alike.

The show Wicked is based on the novel by Gregory Maguire and it takes a very imaginative look at the events in Oz before the arrival of both Dorothy and Toto and before some of our favorite characters, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion made their famous appearances.  Instead the musical focuses on the lives and times of the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda, the Good Witch.  If you are a huge Oz fan, be sure to get your own pair of Wicked tickets as soon as possible!
