Last night I went to the West End musical Wicked with my family! It was so great! I didn't quite know what to expect and I wasn't sure if I would like it. But everything was amazing! Our seats were 11 rows from the first canopy, so we could see everything perfectly. I rented binoculars, though, just so I could see the details.
The story of Wicked is everything that happened before the story of The Wizard of Oz. In a nut shell: Elphaba was born green... She grew up and went to a sorcerer's school and met Galinda, who was loved and had everything, while Elphaba was hated by everyone. They were forced to room together and eventually became friends. (Elphaba was the really talented one and Galinda was just pretty). Elphaba started realizing that animals were forgetting how to talk (?) and were being forced into cages, something that Elphaba wanted to stop. She wanted to go to the Wizard of Oz so he could stop it, but (If you don't want me to ruin this then stop reading) the wizard was the one causing all of the animal capturing. The Wizard told all of Oz that Elphaba was evil - so she was forced to go into hiding and do everything against the law... It gets really good after this, but really complicated, so I won't bother writing about it.
Anway, it was really worth the waiting and long underground ride. Thanks mom and dad!
