Diane and I first saw Wicked: The Musical while we attended the 2005 BOUCHERCON in Chicago. We enjoyed the music and spectacle. Wicked: The Musical has toured to Buffalo several times. Diane and I saw it again a few years ago. And, we just saw it this week because Diane wanted a “refresher” before we go to AMC to see Wicked: Part 2 on Friday.
The Wicked: The Musical touring company doesn’t have the Star Power of a Broadway version, but the singing, dancing, and flying monkeys are the same. Have you seen Wicked? GRADE: B+
All songs are written by Stephen Schwartz.

No, but the spousal unit is going to see it this week!
Bob, most of the audience for WICKED: THE MUSICAL were women and young girls. Same goes for the movie version.
Nah. To quote the late Marv Lachman, I thought it was “good but not great.” We saw it in London on our last visit in 2011. All Cameron Macintosh shows were offering all seats in the stalls (orchestra here) for £20 each, so we had great seats. It just left me cold.
Jeff, the movie version has more energy than the musical.
I saw the original cast on Broadway and enjoyed it. I’m recording the movie on tv tonight.
Maggie, we just saw the musical version on stage last Sunday. We have tickets for tomorrow’s Part Two of the movie version.
