A WICKED Musical

Do you like musicals? When was the last time you saw a REALLY good musical? Well, if  you like musicals but keep on seeing disappointing musicals then I have the perfect musical for you to see: Wicked.

When I first heard about this play, I thought that there would be witchcraft and my mom is defintely against it. But when I saw they play, good prevails at the end. This Musical is the prologue to The Wizard Of Oz. Before Dorthy showed up in Oz, there was The Wicked Witch of the west, named Elpheba and the Good Witch Glinda. Glinda was a beautiful and popular girl, whereas Elpheba was misunderstood due to the fact that her skin was green and because of her mysterious powers. Everyone though she was evil and judged her which is the reason why she had no friends and her father disliked her. I learned that its not good to judge people without getting to know them first. It doesn't matter what's on the outside-its what matters on the inside. Imagine if we were living in a world where everyone was prejudice Would we all get along? That's why its important to not judge people and get to know someone before you make accusations.

Besides the storyline, what really made me have an aha moment while watching the musical was the lights and the set. When I was watching the play, I realized how the set, and the lights really have an effect on the play. Without these elements, you won't be able to attract the audience and keep their  interest on the play. Everything about the play, from the characters to the set, you could see that they made a lot of effort to make this play perfect. The music was great as well. You could feel the emotion in some of the songs which helped me learned how the characters felt and what they are trying to tell the audience. Best of all was the characterization. The acting was amazing and you could really tell all of the actor's personalities. From watching the actors perform, I learned how it is important to get into character and study how your character and understand how they act along with other characters.

 

I highly recommend people to watch this play. Wicked is not just a musical. You learn life lessons from the story such as not judging others and good always prevail. Also, you get to see how the music, set and lights really contribute to the play and helps keep the audience amused and leave them wanting more. Believe me, when you watch this play, you'll Live as you see this wonderful musical, Laugh at the funny parts of the play and Love the show.

Live. Laugh. Love.
