Nearly two weeks ago, I saw the Benedum’s production of Wicked. Now that I have time, I want to reflect on the importance of the story and its themes.
I am not ashamed to admit that I did not finish this novel. It’s terribly hard to get through and parts of it are fairly inappropriate. The musical, however, takes what the novel could not produce and improves it by about ten thousand times. Not only is the story better, but the music, sets, lighting, and costumes provide a theatrical experience unlike many others.
