Follow the Yellow Brick Road

Follow, Follow, Follow, Follow, Follow the Yellow Brick Road...

I've never heard of Wicked but I loved The Wizard of OZ. Here's what I found out about Wicked...

Long before Dorothy dropped in, two other girls meet in the Land of Oz. One, born with emerald-green skin, is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. How these two unlikely friends end up as the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch makes for the most spellbinding new musical in years.
Wicked, the untold story of the witches of Oz, features music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz (Godspell, Pippin, Academy Award winner for Pocahontas and The Prince of Egypt) and book by Winnie Holzman ("My So Called Life," "Once And Again" and "thirtysomething"), and is based on the best-selling novel by Gregory Maguire. With musical staging by Tony Award winner Wayne Cilento (Aida, The Who's Tommy, How To Succeed...), WICKED is directed by 2003 Tony Award winner Joe Mantello (Take Me Out, Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune, A Man of No Importance).

This musical is fantastic. I saw it last Nov. It has been here in Chicago for over a year running now. One atty in my office has seen it 4 times. I don't knwo that I would see it that many times - but I would go again. The tickets for a matinee last fall were over $200 for 2 people!
