why does everyone love WICKED?

I saw this show opening week. I fell for all they hype and wound up falling asleep during the first act. The staging was beautiful, but except for maybe two songs, the score was just plain awful. An overproduced boring experience. If it's touring in your city don't waste your money.

So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space

I agree about the score. I haven't seen it, but I was excited to listen to the CD for the first time. It was a huge disappointment. I just didn't find the story or lyrics intelligent.

I do love Louis - be blinks a bit, and he drinks a bit.

Threadjack: I bought the new London Cast Recording today of SITPWG and it's so good.

But Louis the Baker is not what I had in mind.
