To wicked fans who have been here a while

Has your passion for the show decreased a little? I know mine has, a little bit anyway. Ever since I made annoying posts and got yelled at, I sort of sunk back and became boring and mean. I don't look at Wicked the same way, and it's like I'm a whole different person. It makes me kinda sad. How bout you guys?

I used to be Elphaba the Good btu now I'm not as Wicked obsessed.

I've moved on to Urinetown and The Full Monty (<--points to avatar)

Two very underappreciated scores/musicals!

i most deifnitely haven't lost any love for wicked. i've just lost respect for many of it's preteen fans. the type of FANS doesn't affect my thinking of the SHOW.

Mmmmmmmmmm........horse.....

Definitely.

DG, every time I read one of your posts I'm sitting there nodding my head or laughing my head off. It's almost scary how much I agree with you sometimes.

I'm not being a groupie but people like you make this board worthwhile. Thank you!

I think its funny that most of the people who posted on this thread were not here before or around Tony time. It was ridiculous. People were starting threads on the dumbest things that were marginally connected to Wicked. You have to know your BWW history to understand why there is such an anti-Wicked sentiment. The main board was clogged with all these posts about Wicked. Some of it was "What makeup does Idina use?!" or "Look at these Wizard of Oz Barbie Dolls!" Let me note that these Barbie Dolls were not connected to Wicked and there were girls saying, "OMG they look just like Idina and Kristen. They did a good job!" You wouldn't believe how many "Idina or Kristen?" threads clogged up this board and they even went into this whole spiel about how Kristen and Idina don't like each other. I am just skimming the surface of the Wickedite mentality that over ran the board. Pardon if some of us long term posters are cranky when it comes to Wicked, but any apathy or irritation when it comes to Wicked comes from bad experiences with Wicked fans more than anything else. Most people on the board don't actually hate Wicked, but they project their hatred of the teeny bopper "OMG IDINA IS MEAN BECAUSE SHE IS QUIET!" mentality onto the show. I personally don't hate Wicked. Actually there were several board members who liked it and gave a good detailed review of what they liked. They were thanked by the board members who had been irritated at the other mindless fans of the show. So remember to post with intelligence and forgive us if we are cranky.

Thanks for your explanation son_of_a_gunn. I actually lurked on the site long before I mustered the courage to post and understand your sentiments . I don't think Wicked is the end all be all, but I did really enjoy it. I needed a show to make me forget about the craziness in the world, and it did exactly that for me.

There was a time when Wicked was all I listened to..but it depends on my mood. Sometimes I'm craving some belting and sopranos, other times I'm craving some Daphne. or Sutton. Or Malcolm..etc..
But Wicked def. has a lesser effect on me now then when I first started listening to it. Still love it and all, but I've discovered there are other shows worth my listen

I've lost some of my obsession, too, but, to be totally honest, its because I saw the show lol.

Been there, done that. I'll consider seeing it again with Jen and Shoshana
