This is the last week to see the hit musical Wicked in Buffalo, New York before it packs up and flies away to its next destination. Like in other locals, the show has found critical acclaim and commercial success in Buffalo at the Shea’s Performing Arts Center. People have been driving from all over to catch this musical near them and for good reason. The Tony Award recognized musical is sweeping the nation with its inventive plot, incredible music and fantastic costuming.
If you have ever been a fan of the Wizard of Oz, you must see Wicked. The musical takes place before Dorothy and her little dog come to Oz, and the witches are not yet good and wicked. Elphaba (who is eventually the Wicked Witch) is the roommate of Glinda. Glinda is beautiful and popular and Elphaba is talented, intelligent and, well, green. Her strange hue of skin draws prejudice from those around her, which isn’t helped by the fact that Elphaba questions some of the motivations of the Wizard of Oz.
