In the theater

[riontel]

Saw "Wicked" on Broadway on Friday. They've been selling discounted tickets all over the place and after overdosing on Shakespeare last year I felt like seeing something completely different. Really enjoyed it, it was funny and clever and had nodes to Shakespeare, Socrates, and "Legally Blond" and lines like "Where I'm from, the best way to bring people together... is to give them a really good enemy." The story of "Wicked", in case you haven't heard of it before, is what was happening in Oz before Dorothy dropped in (sorry, there is just no way around that little pun) and who The Wicked Witch of the West really was. If you've been eying Broadway repertoire and wondering what to see, "Wicked" is a pretty good choice. Kids in the audience seemed to be enjoying themselves, too.
