"I had a nightmare that i was in a german production of Wicked... i was the standby for Kristin"
Holy ****, i about snorted pop out my nose!!!!!! Seriously, I love how critics dump on Wicked and for all I know maybe it IS a horrible show (I have seen it four times in the last week thanks to my incredible luck with the lotto in Seattle!!), but the people love it, like the person who pointed out Wicked threads are all over the place. As I always say, a musical doesn't have to have earth shattering themes to be entertaining!
Although I would like to see it, as long as they let them sing songs from musicals of differing periods and styles. A little Rodgers, a little Coleman, a little Sondheim, a little Larson *lol* and eventually avoid singing a little Schwartz.
But seriously, the reason why I'd hate it, is that they'd just be cast with singing square current pop songs...
