It was awesome. I've never really gotten into the whole "Land of Oz" world nor the "Wicked Years" and as such, I didn't really have high expectations. I mean I've stumbled across some of the songs online, and liked them a lot... (got a little "addicted" to Defying Gravity for a while) but other than that, it wasn't enough to get my attention. Until now....
Bill Goldstein asked great questions, Gregory Maguire gave a fantastic background story to the books, musical and built a believable world. Kerry Ellis is a FABULOUS singer and made a fantastic Elphaba. It was a great evening. And I am counting my blessings, the fact that I am able to live in a city that gives me such oportunities, to stretch my mind and explore new things, I thank my lucky STARS.
And, in honor of the five-year anniversary of Wicked composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz and current Elphaba, Kerry Ellis, flipped the switch to turn the iconic building green on Monday (October 27).
