I'm really mad at this version of wicked
here is the broadwayabridged.com's rewrite
Why? I thought it's hilarious and accurate. Updated On: 7/6/05 at 04:09 PM
BroadwayAbridged is hilarious, and that is one of the funniest ones. And it's frighteningly accurate.
It makes me mad, too. How can anyone make fun of WICKED? That is just too mean to be allowed. ARRRRRGGGHHHHHH!
Some of my favorite shows are on broadwayabridged but I think they are hilarious b/c there is truth in all of them.
It's not even mean. It's just poking fun. You would think by now you would be used to FAR worse Wicked bashing.
Um,
I am a pretty big fan of Wicked, and can't help but laugh my head off at that. It is so true...just because you like a show doesn't mean you have to be blind to it's faults.

The humor gets kind of old. But yes, it is very accurate. The whole audience interaction thing pisses me off. -_- That's not even funny.

Its called a sense of humor, go find one.
The Wicked one is the last good one.
Streetcar, DRS...Piazza - amazingly dreadful.
He should be shot for such crap!

It makes me mad too! And I quote:
And viola, it turns out that he's the Tin Man!
I'm so tired of people saying "viola" instead of "voila"! A VIOLA IS A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT!
[/sarcasm]
It made me laugh though, it's all too true.
I thought the Streetcar one was funny:
John C. Reilly maybe rape Natasha Richardson. Well, only if you feel like interpreting it that way.
Little women was pretty funny...

I found it pretty amusing, too. I don't know, I guess making fun of Broadway only really makes me cackle when it's done in song...

I'm furious. I read it six times and got madder every time. And I emailed it to my friends. I can't believe how pissed off we are. How DARE they point out the enormous gaping problems with the show that we were all far too stupid to notice throughout our multiple viewings of Wicked???????
It should have the following disclaimer: If the following parody angers or upsets you in any way please, please, PLEASE, for the love of mankind, go and GET A LIFE.

At first I found it mean, but some of the lines, especially the one when Norbert asks Joe why he loves Idina, are really funny. It's one of those, "they're laughing with you, not at you", kind of things. And look on the side, they do it with other shows too, not just Wicked.
If it makes you mad, why is it in your signature? Just wondering
PS- I find it hilarious and I love Wicked
Get. A. Sense. Of. Humor.
The person who runs BwayAbridged is hysterical and frequently posts here on BWW.
Oh my that's funny! Don't be angry just appreciate the humor.

Yes, kinda accurate, but didn't think it was funny at all.
