Though we have to use theatrical events we go to during this semester on our blog for credit i decided to write about the play i went to go see with my girlfriend just a few weeks ago because it is such a moving and wonderful piece of theatrical work i feel everyone must see if in their lifetime. I went up to New York for our anniversary and was pleasantly surprised when she gave me two tickets to go see the play Wicked tucked away in the middle of the book Wicked: Son of a Witch. We took a train into the city on Saturday morning and spent the day hanging out in china town and little Italy until it was time for the show. We got dressed up, hailed a taxi and departed for the Gershwin theater. When we arrived we waited in line to get our tickets scanned then took our seats. Once you enter the theater you cant help but notice the amazing set and the spinning gears that are twirling. Hopefully some of you have read the book, which i highly recommend but at the top of the stage they have the dragon clock which plays a big part in the book. The play started and right away the lighting used and the costumes stand out so much that you will be awed it made the play so amazing and your eyes will be glued on the stage for the next 3 hours.
The play is a bit different from the book but it throws in a lot of comedy and will keep you laughing. At the end of the play i guarantee you that you will never view The Wizard of Oz the same way again. The play is just so well put together in every aspect its no wonder it is named the best musical of the decade. So next time you are in NYC or any of the other 6 cities it is stationed in do your self a favor and go see wicked.
