First row mezzanine is probably the best seating location for Wicked. So you'll have one of the best seats at a truly wonderful show. Have a great time at Wicked!
My perfect day would begin at on the beach in Hana, Maui and end at a Broadway Musical.

Wow, I hope this show is as good as you all expect it to be. I have very low expectations.

1) Couldn't get through the book
2) Stephen Schwartz hasn't written a hit in decades
3) Bad reviews in San Fran
.... I could keep going, but those are the big ones...

Perfect seat, Amneris! I was too close to the stage! Enjoy! You're in for a treat!

Not so sure about #3. Personal experience here.
But hey, it's your opinion.

Hey. I HOPE it's good. Don't get me wrong...
Oh, did I mention #4? That Idina's not a very good actress... Loved her in Rent, but nothing else...

I can't wait either. My tickets are for Nov. 4 but I stupidly bought tickets close to the stage.
I loved the book and I think it will be a great show visually.
To all you naysayers, remember this, they still have several months to fix anything that didn't work in SF.
I smell a Best Musical Tony!!

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

"Sweet Smell of Success" also had a few months to work out the kinks! Sorry--don't want to fight, but it's true!

And as for bad reviews....
I only read one that was absolutely and completely negative and apparantly the woman got flamed for it. *shrug*

The WICKED reviews. Here is a link to the first unofficial Wicked website, which I loctaed just recently. This is the page with the links to reviews.
Funny, they don't sound half bad to me at all.

But half good? Out of town critics are always nicer. I'm not gonna argue over this. I'll be right in a few months...

Duane...
Never saw it. Heard some recordings online - Loved the voice as always.
Question - you ever done any professional theatre?

Karen d'Souza of the San Jose Mercury News may not have liked Wicked, but she doesn't give trash reviews to every musical.
Here's one below she liked.

I'm looking forward to this one too. A few weeks ago I went to ticketmaster.com for Fri 11/7 and got A6-8, so I passed, and today I tried them again and got the same A6-8. Now I think I'll just wait untill the discounts come out.

Amneris,
Was that question for me? No, I'm not an actor--that's why I can make such reasonable judgements :)
