Musical Sunday!

Well, this one doesn't really need an introduction, since Joel Grey does it for me. :) I still haven't seen Wicked, but I'm sure I will eventually. I'm just sorry I missed seeing it with Kristin Chenowith and Idina Menzel, because they are both amazing. I give you "Defying Gravity":

OMG me too! I actually don't want to see it now that Idina and Kristen aren't in it, but I watch that youtube clip all the time. Haha.

Wicked is LOVE.
I loved the show I saw but My if I could go back and and see Kristin and Idina too, I'd be in heaven.

oh i love wicked! i saw it a few years ago and it was wonderful! though i liked the book better. its really different . the musical focuses more on the friendship between the two witches. the books a hell of a lot darker. its main question is if we are all born with evil inside us. how people become evil what "evil" really is. elphaba is considered evil for wanting to help Animals (with a capitalized A signifying human thoughts, feelings , comprehension and emotions) who are a abused and tread as second class citizens. she is considered evil and is a threat to the wizard. its really a great read.

Seen Wicked twice and I never stop loving it tbh. I saw it at the Pantages in Los Angeles and I got to go backstage, which was one of the top 5 moments of my life. Touching the shoe rack...*faints* I wish the pictures would have come out. Kind of a shame that we missed Adam Lambert by one night. He was already prepping for Idol at that point.

Since you're a Broadway fan, I assume you know all about Forbidden Broadway?
