Wicked (short notes)
We saw Wicked tonight. I previously only knew the short (two-sentence or so) description of the show; hadn't heard the soundtrack or much about the show.
Great show! There is a lot of complicated stage-craft (and lighting-craft) in this show and the production we saw was smooth and effective and at times visually stunning. I'm sure I missed a lot of smaller details from row T, but even so I thoroughly enjoyed myself. We also had a good cast and (except for the finale) excellent micing, so everything was clear. I loved some of the humorous bits in the show, too. ("Blonde." :-) )
And let me also say how thrilled I am to see a starring female role written for an alto. I was beginning to doubt that these existed.

I still haven't seen the show--but thought this was a pretty cool video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxKjiJ2qwtU) you might enjoy now that you know the music. Kristin Chenoweth invites audience members to come up and sing with her, giving them the easy part...except this time it's a vocal instructor who has been waiting her whole life for this moment! Fun stuff.
