Wicked the Musical?

[WhiteWitchMeeka]

Is anyone else a fan of this? And wish to talk about it?

[tgraveline]

hmm, all i know is that i started the book and didn't finish. Mainly because the thought of a baby with massive choppers biting off fingers and liking the taste of blood on its day of birth. Yeah, thats freaky. ha ha. The musical might be cool to see though, i doubt i'd get as scared at my late age and all.

PS i didn't want you to feel lonely with yourself in this thread

[WhiteWitchMeeka]

Ha Ha! I did not care for the begining myself. Other reasons though. But I did love the rest of the book. I'm also reading the second one about her son.

[tgraveline]

oh interesting. Yeah, i just never got past that stuff. I'm busy reading the historian right now, but thats a slow and painful process for me as i'm in college with too much to think about so my reading time is next to nill, and that bums me out majorly.

[WhiteWitchMeeka]

Ah College. I will be starting up again in college on Jan. 9th. Going for Computer art. But Yes I can see how that is a problem.

I'm waiting right not to order my Wicked tickets. I'm so happy....*dances around*

[Aslan the Wise one]

My GF got me into it i kind of like it.

[Kitty17794]

Ah, Wicked. The best broadway out there. The music is just incredible.

WHOOT! Someone agrees with me.

[sukapesta]

i haven't seen the musical live yet, but i LOVE the songs... currently i'm obsessed with "Popular"... Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth have amazing voices!

[WhiteWitchMeeka]

Popular is a cute song!! *giggles and sings to it* I'm going to see Wicked in Feb so I'll tell you how it is. Though I seen a hmmm a bootleg verison but it was blurry but still fun lol.

[sukapesta]

i'm so jealous...

they're performing in colorado in feb (which i think is about as close as it'll ever get from where i live) but i don't think i can blow off a few days of school to see it... i also like "what is this feeling" a lot...

[Daughter of Narnia]

I just happen to be listening to the Wicked soundtrack right now. I love almost all the songs. I haven't seen it yet or read the book but my friend has and I'm waiting to borrow the book from her. She's also lent me the soundtrack.

The weird thing is, I've never seen Wicked but it's my second favorite musical/Broadway show. I wish I could go but tickets are too expensive and I have no car to get to Toronto which is the closest show to me. Anyone who's seen it has to tell me how it was.

:)

[ArrowsOfSilver]

i LOVE wicked!!!!!!!

i love the books and the songs, and i saw it in houston cuz i missed the dallas show.

elphaba lives!!!!!

~AOS~

[sarahprincess]

Good musical, one of the best.

Saw it in San Fran, I would completely recommend it if you havent seen it!

Nothing like the book though. Personally, I like the musical version better...much more happy..

Fav song is dancing through life. The guy voice who sings it on the cd reminds me of clay aiken..haha!

[WhiteWitchMeeka]

*laughs* Clay? I don't think Norbie sounds like him.

It's so cool to find others that love it, just as much as me. I feel I can connect with Elphaba alot. That's why I love the musical and book. I also really love Nessarose too. I like in the book how they made it she was more Wicked than Elphaba.

[mentos]

I want to see the broadway show for this T.T I read the book and it`s awesome. very interesting because I never thought of it from the witch`s p.o.v.

[Susan Pevensie]

I absoulutly love Wicked! I can't watch the Wizard of Oz the same way again! I ahven't seen the live performance, but I have friends who went to see it in NY, and they LOVED it. I am seeing it in August 2006 when it comes to Orange County...somewhat near to me! I'm very excited! I also have a bootlegged version, that has basically the whole show..but I can't watch it.

[Aslan the Wise one]

As I have said before I have not read the books or seen the play. But my grilfriend got me into too in wich is AOS. And now I think they are awsome!.

[unseen_dreams]

I love Wicked! I've read the book, own the soundtrack and have seen the musical in new york (I absolutely loved it!). I just about cried after Defying Gravity, don't ask me why, it was just so amazing! All of the songs are amazing and besides Defying Gracity of course, some of my favorites are I'm Not That Girl, For Good, and well basically the whole soundtrack... do you realize how low that last note in I'm Not That Girl is? Idina Menzel has an amazing range!

[ArrowsOfSilver]

WICKED IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!! I LOOOVE IT!!!!!!!

im not even gonna begin...i dont think that u guys have time for it....

but go to www.wickedthemusical.com to learn more.

and the book is Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of The West , by Gregory Maguire.

[WillsGirl]

I have yet to see or know the story but I love the sound track!!!

[unseen_dreams]

Okay everyone, I have a question for you.
My friend (WillsGirl) and I are going to the same fine arts camp this year and would like to audtion a duet from Wicked for the talent show. We are considering What Is This Feeling? and For Good. The interesting part is those two extremely different songs fit the two of us perfectly. What Is This Feeling? is like the very beginning of our friendship and For Good is like our current friendship (except for the seperation part). I was wondering which one you guys think would be best. One's hilarious, the other beautiful, and we love both! And by the way, do any of you happen to know of Firespark!? Unlikely, but I had to ask.
THANKS!

[ArrowsOfSilver]

For Good has more meaning, but What Is This Feeling? is funnier. think about what your auidience wants....personally, me and my friend Katie (i have to get her on here...) are doing What Is This Feeling for the school showcase. very select, but we made it last year.

any way, consider teh audience.

[unseen_dreams]

Well, thanks but the thing is that half the audience is crazy wacko and the other half is in love with music or very dramatic and deep so it's hard to say which would be best rececived.
Oh and I was curious what you and your friend are using for accopaniment, I know there's a karaoke cd, if you're using that does it have the chorus on it? That would affect our decision.
Anybody else have an opinion?

[WillsGirl]

Oh good question!!!!
Some help here?
Oh by the way Michelle I was thinking that we might could do one of the songs for musical theatre?

[unseen_dreams]

I'm not really sure what you're saying...

[WillsGirl]

oh nevermind. I think my mom helped us out with this anyway! LOL

[Krissy]

I am quite guilty to own the bootlegged version as well, lol. I couldn't resist and I watched it, ruining the WHOLE bloody experience, but it's ok, cause I know it's a completely different shindig when you see it live.

I'll be seeing you in Orange County, lol. Tickets go on sale in July! Yay!

My *cough* bootlegged is actually a CD....so I haven't seen it, which is good!

Ok! We should see it the same night!! How fun would that be! Narnia and Wicked fans in the same theatre!

[arwen3]

popular i want to be popular ill teach you the proper poise when you talk to boys the things youve got to know.


I love WICKED (and LOTR and NARNIA)!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

[arwen3]

my sister is obsessed :rolleyes:

[sarahprincess]

Id say do What Is This Feeling, cause its a fun one, as well as has good notes..and well, Its one of my favorites :D

[infomage]

Ah, Wicked. The best broadway out there. The music is just incredible.

I am completely in love with Wicked, the books and musical.

[cor fan14]

i love the musical didnt particularly like the book though

[Naydiss]

I really loved the book, the musical will be coming in April and I hope to see it

[WillsGirl]

Id say do What Is This Feeling, cause its a fun one, as well as has good notes..and well, Its one of my favorites :D
Thanks for the input!
Ironically we went with For Good because it was a bit difficult for us to sing so... I don't know being mad at each other. (Except when we were just having fun IN character!) But our parents really wanted us to do For Good.
The other thing is it kind of makes us go outside of our comfort zones because the Saprono Part (Glinda/ME) goes lower than usual and the alto part (Elphy/Unseen_Dreams) goes higher than usual. Plus it was easier to get the sheet music and we don't have to have a little chorus.
You know in WITF there's that... "Poor Galinda forced to reside..." etc
Anyway I LOVE the music and I think my favs are: For good, Popular, What is this Feeling?, and Not That Girl.

[narnian\elven princess]

i know all the songs by heart
im going to see it this october can't wait
*popular yur gunna be popular
i'll teach u the proper ploise when u talk to
boys little ways to flirt anf flounce oo...........

[WillsGirl]

Then you should read the book! I haven't yet because I didn't think I could but then I realized my friend has it so I'm gonna borrow it from her.

[cor fan14]

I have the grimmiere its all about the musical and it has the entire script in the back :D it has pictures and other stuff.

[WillsGirl]

Then you should read the book! I haven't yet because I didn't think I could but then I realized my friend has it so I'm gonna borrow it from her.
EDIT: Okay I tried to borrow it from Unseen_Dreams but she said it's not good, as it has content that was NOT in the musical....

Oh man I am SO excited about Firespark! We get to be Elphy and Glinda! Like my new sig!?

[Mar]

[Naydiss]

yes i want to see it also, i have read the book but have not seen musical it is coming to my city so hopefully i'll see it then

[unseen_dreams]

Ok I didn't say it was a bad book, just that there's a couple of parts that are...... well... not G rated :o

[Naydiss]

yeah you are right, but if one is mature enough they can read it, it depends on the person.

[WillsGirl]

Ok I didn't say it was a bad book, just that there's a couple of parts that are...... well... not G rated :o
LOL, well, All I can say is that if they come anywhere near where I live... I AM GOING TO SEE IT!

[LadyofGreenKirtle]

It was already in my area (LA) and then it left. But it's going to be in San Deigo in June, so I am going to go see it then!
I'm so stoked!

[sweet_serenade_13]
