wicked was wicked (pun intended)
Finally! I caught Wicked at MBS last night after an endless tiring wait. I've been wanting to catch Wicked ever since last September? When news of Wicked coming to SG was known. Partly because it was a Broadway musical. And because Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth were the main leads of Wicked (AND THEY ACTED IN GLEE) annnnnnnd because XMC sang Defying Gravity once BUT MAINLY CUZ IT'S BROADWAY. I MEAN DAYUM, DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I WANT TO GO TO BROADWAY???? I want it almost as badly as I want to attend a Coldplay concert. There are huge giant posters adorning the buildings near Broadway of the various musicals currently showing and this is where I find myself relating to Kurt/Rachel. Oh mann after the show I was so tempted to clamber on the empty stage just like what Kurt and Rachel did and sing For Good. I mean the exact same clock was on stage just like on Glee! -fangirl scream- ANYWAY I SHALL TALK ABOUT THE ACTUAL PRODUCTION. its my first Broadway musical so I can't compare but saying that its 'spectacular/amazing/awesome/legendary' wouldn't do the crew justice. It's just too fantastic for words! The props were my absolute favourite! Everything is so extravagant and professional eg the statue/clock/mechanical dragon and the stage honestly wasn't as big as I expected but the props transformed the stage into all the scenes in the musical #YouDontSay but what truly blew me away was the voice of Elphaba THAT GIRL CAN SING. It was just totally mindblowing at the end of Act 1 when she was belting out the soaring chorus of Defying Gravity and then she 'elevated' into the air and there was
smoke/mist and oh my. -CUES FANGIRL SCREAM- I really can't wait to watch Cats, The Phantom of the Opera, Chicago, Rent, Hairspray, How to Succeed in Business, West Side Story AHHHHHHHHH
And MBS is a really wonderful place (the exterior and outdoor areas) and so was the theater! But its so hard to navigate Anyhoo, BEST NIGHT EVER
