My Way Late Review of Wicked

So while in Italy I had the pleasure (displeasure?) of spending part of my fall break in one of the capitals of the world, London! Kristen and I went together and we stayed at her friend's dorm/apartment thing. One of the highlights of our sojourn to London was London's theatre! We spent the better part of our second day there frantically and confusedly searching for theatre's and making up our mind on what we were going to see. Apparently, while we were there, the London Universities were on Fall Break so the theatres chose that week to stop giving Student Rush Tickets which sucked and jacked up the prices for all the shows.

We eventually decided to see Wicked. Kristen had already seen it but graciously saw it a second time. We got cheaper tickets because we were literally in the back corner, but the show was still good and we didn't have to spend much at all! It was a "wonderful little piece of spectacle" as I began referring to it later. The show itself is kinda lame, but there were some really cool special effects, like when Elphaba chooses her path as the wicked witch and is lifted to the middle of the stage while she is belting and her cape encases the enter proscenium! Pretty cool!

It also had Edina Menzel in it, who was the original Elphaba from the NYC Broadway one. (she was also in original Rent) whatev. It was pretty sweet.

Here are some pics!
