Nothing But Good About “Wicked”
There is nothing but good about “Wicked” and by that I mean the touring Broadway show, Wicked. While on vacation last week in Nashville, my daughter and I were able to enjoy and relished every second of this bewitching musical at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center.
A prequel to the Wizard of Oz, Wicked relates the story of the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good witch from the time they were young school girls.
The music and lyrics are brilliant, the costumes lavish, the sets terrific, the lighting and special effects astonishing and the acting flawless.
My favorite character was Elphaba, the wicked witch, played by Marcie Dodd. Her voice is unbelievable and I guarantee a few goose bumps when she sings. Her character is so often slandered and misunderstood that you will find yourself wishing only good fortune for her.
We caught the show in downtown Nashville but be sure to check out the Wicked website to see if it’s coming to a center near you. You’re in for a treat if you get the chance to see it since there’s nothing but good about “Wicked”!
