So I went to see Wicked on Broadway. It was amazing! I love the music and I've been singing it ever since.
So it is about Elphaba, this girl who by some strange birth defect is born green. In colledge she meets Glinda, a spunky air-headed girl who just cares about being popular. A teacher tells Elphaba that she is going to be able to meet the Wizard of Oz, and she is deathly excited. But then she finds out that the wizard is a fake! He starts a conspiracy, calling her 'The Wicked Wicth of the West' , and makes all of Oz hate her. Meanwhile, the officials in Oz try to kill her boyfriend, Fiero, for protecting her, so she turns him into a scarecrow, so he cannot die or feel pain. To stop her sister from shrinking her husband's, Boq's, heart, she makes him a tinman with no heart. Elphaba doesn't know what to do because all of the Witch Hunters are on her trail. She shares her last moments with her dear friend Glinda. When little Dorothy comes to Oz and throws a bucket of water on her, she pretends to die, and lives in hiding with Fiero for the rest of her life.
I know this synopsis sucks, but don't let it ruin your play watching experience. The play is amazing, no matter how dull my bad writing makes it sound, and the music is the most incredible that I've ever heard.So if you go see have a great time, and I'm sure you will love it.
