Wicked is so wickedly AWESOME!!

I am a HUGE fan of musicals and which musical fan could miss out on Wicked - The Untold Story of the Witches of Oz which is on show now at the Capitol Theatre in Sydney. The story involves two best friends Elphaba and Glinda and how they became the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch.  Behind the surface, the truth is never so simple. It's a touching story of friendship, love, greed, envy, jealousy and lies.

Winner of 20 major awards including the oh so exclusive Tony award (they won 3) and a Grammy,the 18 million dollar production is sure not to be missed...by anyone!  If you hate musicals or have never been to one then Wicked will make you change your mind.

The production includes 450 costumes, 120 or so wigs, high technology lighting, massive stage that comes out to the audience, thousands of props, ingenious creative team and producers, two main characters Amanda Harrison (Elphaba) and Lucy Durack (Glinda) who have voices so strong, powerful and pure, Rob Mills (Fiyero)who is a common household name after coming the Top 12 in the 2003 Australian Idol competition.

The song "Defying Gravity" was one of the best songs in the musical. Have a listen to it here. Sung by Idina Menzel as Elphaba and Helen Dallimore as Glinda.  Really not a fan of Helen though~no offense.

Another song I enjoyed would be the song "Popular".  I watched this on youtube before going to see it and still found it quite funny.

Although sitting at row D, I was placed on the very corner *cries*.  That's what you get for ordering your tickets too late :(  I took some VERY BLURRY pictures cause I was trying to hide my camera from the guards.

This dragon breathes out smoke too!

It's a musical not to be missed out!
