so…um…I might have some videos of various Wicked events that have been on TV. Like, oh, the performance of “Defying Gravity” at the Tony’s the original cast did…

I took my son to see Wicked last year (he was 10 yrs. old) and I remember he was so excited to use my cell phone during the intermission to call my husband, telling him, “Dad! The wicked witch isn’t wicked at all! She’s just misunderstood!”

It is a great show.

Cute story. My wife and I saw “Wicked” several months ago in New York and loved it, though I had to explain the original Wizard of Oz story to her as well. She’s Brazilian and didn’t grow up seeing it on TV every year like I did.

Erika,

Thanks for posting this. We recently saw Wicked also. I don’t like musicals, but I was blown away by it. I too was captivated by Elfeba. Her character resonates with echos of “the way real life works.” I’ve met way too many people who, like Elfeba, are wicked because they’ve had “wicked thrust upon them”—present company included.
