Wicked - The second-Ever Original Production
Sep 6
2010, 05:21:30 PM
I saw this Finnish production on Friday night and even though I was very skeptical how the translation works and how that very huge stage is used for this show I was positively surprised. All in all it was ok evening not as impressive as the original shows that I've seen in London and Sydney but worth the look.
Some acting was just bad and the translation didn't work very smoothly but Finnish language is very tricky to make it work. I liked the sets but some people that were with me seeing this show for the first time were at times bit puzzeled where everything is happening and I guess this due to the new sets since I didn't have any trouble with the original ones. Defying Gravity was propably the most biggest disappointments of all cause it was just very un impressive since you could even see and here the people going to help Elphaba putting her ready to go flying with the wires. The bubbles :) well what can I even say about those...hmm interesting, didn't quite understand their point but since the dancers inside them were doing acrobatics and the director of the show propably likes those kinds of elements (used that often in previous works) wanted to put something special there, that's all I can guess. There were some very intresting sexual references for example in One Short Day instead of wizmania there were underground party with gay and trans couples, so a bit different take than the original.
It was an good experience but I still prefer the original

My brother is going to New York and is planning to buy tickets for his girlfriend to see Lion King as a Christmas present.He asked me if I knew if there are any discounted tickets to buy online for the show. So do you know any promotion codes? I know Disney is pretty stiff with discounts. Help is appreciated..

Judi Dench and Cats

We all know she was supposed to play Grizabella in the original London cast of Cats but didn't make it to the stage. Is there anywhere a recording or a video of her singing Memory? I'd like to hear her take on it...
