WICKED

I saw WICKED a couple years ago, and I fell madly in love with it. It was my first live broadway show EVER, and it blew me away. Before I went to see it, I had no idea what it even was. I remember hanging out with my friend, Emily, and she put in the CD, playing all the songs for me. They didn't make any sense at all, and I was like... what is this? I still was confused even when our show choir back in middle school, call KEYS, performed one of the songs from the musical. Then when my parents took me to the show and I watched it, everything fell into place.
The musical is like the story "before" the Wizard of Oz. It tells how Galinda (the good witch) and Elphaba (thought to be bad witch) used to be best friends and the true story behind the OZ and how Elphaba came to be thought as evil. I could go into a lot more detail, but just watching the show explains it all.
I had only liked a few songs, like Defying Gravity and Popular, before going to see it, but after wards I was in love with them all. During the performance, every character carried out their part in such a magnificent way that I believed every single one of them. They sang their hearts out, all of them sounding unbelievably good, so who couldn't love every song? I remember leaving after the performance, after we had bought our souvenirs and soundtrack, and we were listening to the soundtrack the whole way home from Chicago. The show was just that amazing!
Watching the musical really made me want to star in one. I love singing and performing, but I have never really gotten the chance to perform in an actual play with an actually decent part; I have always been in the chorus or with a part that had at most, two lines. Even though I saw this show a while ago, thinking about it still makes me want to be in a play so badly! The show was just that good; it even made my dad fall in love.
Today I was talking to my dad about Mamma Mia! And he blurted out,
"NO ONE MOURNS THE WICKED!"
He is so silly.
