Is Wicked the Best Broadway play?
How long do you think it will last on Broadway.

Wicked is a musical not a plau (big difference)

It has however (despite what some posters believe) done a lot for Broadway. It brought a whole new audience to the Great White Way. I don't know if it is the best.

Wicked is FAR FAR FAR from the best show on/that was ever broadway....I'll give it that it does have SOME good songs (for good and defying gravity) but thats about it. What the tonys awarded the show...are the only good parts (costume, lighting, and idina).

And to answer your second question, it will last longer than it deserves.

I think it's a good show, but it's really not everyones type of show... be warned, too much Wicked talk causes riots. :)

I would not call it the best, but I love it for what it is, whatever it is, flaws and all. It appeals to a large group of people so I think it will be around a while. And as was stated earlier, it does draw a new group of people to Broadway. I have begun to convert many a friend into theater-lovers by way of the Wicked OBCR. Oh the plans I have for them...

this has potential to get ugly...defyerofgravity, start running

Wicked makes me sick. It's so incredibly overrated. I don't think 'Defying Gravity' is even that great of a song in the first place. I love Wizard of Oz, but Wicked just makes me get really...mad.

^ What'd I tell you. Riot beginning...

[lovettespies]

No, it's an okay musical, but It's become SO overrated and SO much of an overblown pop sensation that I refuse to agknowledge it anymore. They should make a seperated Wicked board so all of those fans can be happy over there and not make threads like this.

Another Sweeney fan! Welcome to the boards, lovettespies!

It's those damn 12 yr old teeny bopper girls who ruin shows.

Welcome lovettespies!

The more Sweeney fans, the better this place gets.

WICKED - best play? no.

WICKED - best musical? Still No.

I enjoyed watching WICKED and think its a really good show with some flaws. BUT the hype far out weighes the quality of show. That alone makes me shy away from it.

Thanks for the welcome. I was really happy and surprised to find a large group of Sweeney fans here! My mom started playing the CD when I was born, and I knew all the lyrics when I was 6. I did Worst Pies In London for my fourth grade talent show. Obsessed....maybe.

i think there should be a link for new board members to check out with everything they need to know about this place so they dont get yelled at for asking a question... such as what is frequently asked.

defyerofgravity, i think its a great show... but we all have different opinions here and some will show up a little too strong. welcome though! and welcome to lovettespies too!

you guys, come now. at one point or another everyone was on the wicked hype bandwagon. then y'all stopped liking it because of how over-blown its become. its not BAD. its a good musical it deserves its chance to make as long a run as it can. though it is going on tour next march or april i believe.

Really, we all liked Wicked at one point?

Strange, I don't remember that...

well everyone was either curious or interested or else they wouldnt know anything about it
