Review of Musical

The musical "Wicked", now playing in New York, London, and Chicago is about finding out the truth by looking into the past and see what happens behind the scene. You must find out things that you knew well and really discover what actually occurred. By doing this you will know what actually happened and how things now actually unraveled.

This musical is one of the creative ones, where we are entertained since start to end by getting in touch with the characters which are supporting cast for the famous story "The Wizard of Oz". The main characters are Galinda, the Good Witch of the North and the antagonist Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West. We can also find Nessarose, the Wicked Witch of the East.

It started with Glinda talking to Oz after the death of the last wicked witch, however when it was asked how Glinda came to know her, we then get back into the past and one thing after another start to be revealed. It is based on the novel authored by Gregory Maguire, with the same title, and based on the L. Frank Baum novel.

The story sends a message that we should not see things just as they are, because there are always things behind these. It also tries to find out the how things that is considered good came to be, and what is considered to be evil, also why people seem to be evil or good. We are then given the view of investigation effects of prejudice, and how fame and politics can corrupt people.

"Wicked" is a very enjoyable show, as it gives us a very spectacular view. The scenery used in the show is very intricate, and is very supportive for all actions on made on stage. The costumes used by the characters are very well made and also are the beautiful makeup. The actors did a splendid job in acting the story, while all the warmth and comedy in the script was given beautifully.

Despite the splendid acting, scenery, costumes and makeup, there was a small drawback which people loving musical will notice right away. We do not leave the building with a song that just sticks in our head after leaving the theatre. I believe, every musical should have at the least 1 song which will make you think in your mind "I definitely must get the soundtrack to the musical".

Still, I will definitely recommend "Wicked" for all who enjoy good cast and acting coupled with beautifully made costumes and scenery. Thumbs up for a great musical and Broadway show!
