Defying Gravity

Why is the wicked witch green? Where did the scarecrow’s real body go? Why are there flying monkeys – those frightening creatures that haunted my childhood nightmares? These questions, which you never thought to ask, will be answered as you are taken into a world of mystery and magic by the Broadway show, Wicked.

Follow Elphaba through her childhood to find out why she got labeled, The Wicked Witch of the West while spoiled, self-absorbed Glinda manages to become known as Glinda the Good. Learn how the scarecrow became the scarecrow. To take a well-known story, The Wizard of Oz, and work backwards in time to create its preceding plot is genius and entertaining enough. But the true sensation of Wicked is in the music, set and staging. Your heart will soar like the monkeys during “Defying Gravity”, just to land softly with an aura like Glinda in her ball during “Because I Knew You.” The perfection of plot and performance will leave you “melted” in your seat. I won’t give away the story, but it is proof that there are two sides to every tale.

This is a can’t miss Broadway top seller. If I were to have my one wish granted by the Wizard, it would be the opportunity to see Wicked over and over again, just like those annual televised showings of The Wizard of Oz.
