This Oz prequel explains how the Wicked Witch of the West wasn't really wicked at all, more a defender of those the Wizard sought to repress. The sly references to 'The Wizard of Oz' are hugely enjoyable. But the ending is a terrible cop out, and, rather like the Wizard himself, there's something conventional lurking behind the spectacle.

omg wicked was sooooo amazing,! and i will deffinatly go and see it again !!!!
As boring as green it is. Was about to leave before the 2nd and I regret I did not.
I have wanted to see wicked since it first came to the west end and i finally saw it earlier this year. I have to say it was amazing i enjoyed every minute of it. cassidy Janson was playin elphaba and she was out of this world .
The book is sooooooo much better! yes the show is good but ive seen better. and it is a poor adaptation!
A truly amazing show, wicked indeed lives up to its name. From the quirky yet at times deep storyline, to the scores of Stpehan Schawrz's incredible songs, wicked truly is a delight for all to see. In short Wicked is spellbinding.
Ahhhh just read that orange are running a competition and if you win you get to make an appearance on stage!!! You have to send them a video of you singing to one of the songs. im gonna sing defying gravity lol check it out at wannabewicked.co.uk. ahh so excited, hope i win!! x
i performed this with my stage school and i was pierro i've performed the show 3 times and seen it twice it is by far the best show on the west end and i've seen alot trust me!
i think that this is a brilliant musical xx the songs and music are amazing, i got the soundtrack and i cant stop listening to them. the actors brought something great to this production..x
Expected to hate it but loved every minute. Will surely go again. Its fabulous-and a lot better than that terrible Lord of the Rings.
Well worth seeing. i have seen the show 3 times and performed it 4 times, the music, set, dancing and actors are all amazing. Good luck finding a more imaginative and magical musical on the west end.
I am a regular theatre goer usually in manchester but when my daugthers dance group did some of the Wicked music just had to go to see it.Have now been x2 and it was fantastic with Kerry Ellis a fabulous elphaba.I love idina the original but think that kerry really made the role her own fantastic well done.Best show around at moment!!
This is an amazing show. Great, memorable music and a great story. Highly recommended!
