I saw it at the pantages and the girl that played galinda was hilarious. Personally, I think she's the funniest version of galinda. The pantages was really small and we had really good seats, but I think most of the seats there were good seats.

What have your experiences been like?

no, but i'm planning on going within the next 2 weeks!! i'll respond after i go

i really, really, really want to go i heard its amazing

ITS FREAKING AMAZING!!!!!! OMGGG THE DEFYING GRAVITY SONG IS SO GOOD EVERYONE STOPPED BREATHING DURING THE PERFORMANCE LOL WE WERE ALL LIKE GASPPPP! O_O HAHA IM GONNA GO AGAIN SOON, SOOO GOOD! MUST GO!!!!!

i saw it when teal wicks sang the song, holy cow. she's awesome. The LA cast is awesome!

I'm so sad since my parents saw it without me and I really wanted to see it too

I saw it in London and it was truly superb, my favourite song is no good deed and the way elphaba (sung by kerry ellis) performed it was, well rather spectacular, the power she had, i loved it. it was the best song in a musical that i have seen thus far (and i have seen a fair few)

omg!!!! i love this musical!!!
i haven't seen it yet... but i've seen it on youtube, but i want to watch it!!
my favorite song is defying gravity, dancing through life, and for good

I saw it in Chicago, and gosh it was AMAZING.
I'd like to see Idina Menzel play Elphaba...She's definitely the best!

The soundtrack is amazing!

my favorite leads are eden espinosa for elphaba and megan hilty for glinda. they've got the greatest chemistry, and they're super talented.

Megan hilty is hilarious! I've seen other girls play her parts and its not as funny.

I've seen Megan Hilty and Teal Wicks. Both were very AMAZING! Hilty is hilarious especially during Popular and I LOVED LOVED LOVED the defying gravity number. I WANT TO WATCH IT AGAIN.

currently downloading this musical (fortunately theres a torrent!) and really hoping i can watch it soon..

too bad that i live in another continent..if that wasnt the case, i'd definitely watch thislive!

I LOVE musicals and have seen SO many, but WICKED is always so expensive! I heard it's amazing and I still want to see it!

This show is AMAZING.

megan hilty and eden espinosa are the BEST Wicked duo!!

Omg ,This is one of the best shows ever!!
I watch Wicked in London Apollo Victoria theatre, and the cast are just truly sensational.
Galinda was hilarious and i just loved Elphabas witty comments.
I watched the video and the one there was slightly different from the one in london but still all round good
They were amazing i want to watch it again. I love how the story connected with the Oz
Something i know im going to see again lol

I LOVE THIS MUSICAL!
ITS SPECTACULAR!! <3

Yeah, saw it in London and I was taken away even though Elphaba was played by the understudy, it STILL was amazing.

it's playing in LA until October, i must watch it before then

agreed. i saw wicked twice this past month at the apollo victoria, the first one was with cassidy jensen as elphaba, a week before she and kerry left the show. at first i was a little disappointed that we couldn't see kerry (i saw her the week before at the 'chess' concert, but still, kerry is THE west end elphaba), but cassidy was really good. there were some notes where her belt wasn't quite as strong as kerry's but overall it was a solid performance.

the second time i went was last night, sat fifth row from the front and it was alexia khadime's fourth performance as elphaba. she was nala in the lion king and now she just replaced kerry. a lot of people criticized her opening night, saying she growled too much and was off-pitch from time to time. i guess she settled into the role pretty quickly because i thought she was exceptional. great riffing--quite different style from kerry so it was pretty refreshing. not to mention she looks considerably younger and in that respect suits the role very well.

i have to say though that the highlight of the shows for me were dianne pilkington and oliver tompsett. i mean, nobody can replace the cheno but dianne was hilarious--i love her squeals and her toss toss was just great. oliver tompsett, on the other hand, is just bloody gorgeous. not to mention his voice is amaaaazing. i love his and alexia's 'as long as you're mine' because they both have such great riffs. but him and kerry is pretty good too. actually i'm pretty sure him and anyone would be just spine-chilling. love olli.

well, wicked's coming to utah next year so i'm at least gonna see it one more time. i'm also thinking about catching the LA production before it closes down.

i loved this musical
i saw it at the pantages as well, i think.
anyway, i loved glinda too and the ending was so cute with dorothy in the cellar LOL

I've been wanting to see this....and finally got tickets to go see it end of the month....
can't wait coz i've heard so much positive reviews!

I've seen this musical @ Gershwin Theatre in NYC ....I really love this musical & the cast x')

I absolutely LOVE Wicked! I saw it when I was in London with my choir.
It was so amazing to watch. And even before i saw it, I was such a big fan of the music already. And I'm going to admit that I was bawling my eyes out during Defying Gravity and For Good, my two favorite songs.
This musical is SO good! I LOVE IT!!!
I can't WAIT until Nov. because it's coming to MN!

-nie

saw Wicked in CALI, AWESOMAWESOME AWESOME!! just so BLOWN AWAY. amazing cast.. i don't know who played galinda, but she was absolutely amazing! it was so entertaining, i couldn't stop laughing and gasping ^ ^

Havent seen it and sooooo want to see.
Heard its a very good Musical.
I wished I lived In New York or anyplace that I can see it.

I FINALLY SAW IT!!! Besides going to HB Korean Music Fest. and seeing DBSK. THIS IS THE GREATEST PERFORMANCE I'VE EVER SEEN!

oh, i want to watch this musical so badly, ;'[
no one moouuurns THE WICKED!

I LOVED Galinda at the Pantanges.
I also thought the man who played Boq was really good too
when I went to go see Wicked was nearly a year ago
so I reaaaaally would like to go again

Ugh, I'm so jealous of everyone who has seen it!
I have the Original Broadway Cast Recording & I LOVE it.
I've read most of the book, too. (although I couldn't finish it, maybe later. hehe)
& we did select songs from the show for our show choir this year.

I REALLY want to see this.
Hopefully sometime it will come near or I will go there.

i saw this at the original gershwin theater, and i loved the cast i saw, and prefer it over the original broadway cast.

in my personal opinion, i just like the whole eden espinosa and megan hilty duo over idina menzel and kristen chenoweth.

I'm going on the 29th of August. I just bought my ticket today. I am very excited.

LA PANTAGES CAST IS AMAZINGG
The Glinda I saw was Megan Hilty. I saw a few other Glindas through videos on Youtube and from that (though not a very thorough opinion), Hilty is AMAZING. She brings this whole other character and she's just...WOW.

Plus, ADAM LAMBERT = FIYERO = HOOTTT.
The Elphaba was amazing too - I think Cassie Levy was filling in that night? I forget, but yeah omgahd their kiss scene was *__*
Her voice was freaking AMAZING though.
I went with my high school choir so all the girls after were like WHO WAS THAT FIYERO GUY haaha

Too bad he's gay

I liked Nessarose and Boq's voices in the original cast, but Pantages wasn't bad either.
I read the book too, and I'm actually glad it's a 'happier' (and less sexual hahaha) and Glinda is ditzier XP

Watching it again in June when it comes to SF

Ahhhhhhh- one of the best musicals ever produced!
I saw it at Pantages and third row at that, but being so close to the stage had its advantages and disadvantages. I just wished I could've seen the broader picture of the whole, entire stage so I recommend a cheaper ticket.
Casting is incredible. Costumes, props, crafts all were flawless.
And talent- wow, breath taking.
Its definitely worth every penny, every minute so I say go for it. Haha (but the stuff they sell at pantages like water and food were satirical, meaning expensive. Whoo.)

so have you guys heard? apparently the movie is confirmed, BUT they're probably not gonna start pre-production for another two years, so i'd wait a little while before starting any new threads. or at least until a director gets chosen. still, who would you guys want in the film? i mean, the obc is amazing and all but i think cheno and idina are getting a tad too old. i think anne hathaway and kristen bell would make a great elphaba and galinda, respectively.

CHECK OUT THESE AWESOME NEW PAJAMAS I SOOOO WANT A PAIR.http://www.wickedmerch.com/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=PAJ-BOT

they're not gonna play wicked anymore at the pantages theater .. apparently jan 2009 is the last time you guys will be able to see it

i alrdy watched it 3 times .. blows me away every single time! DEFYING GRAVITY IS THE BEST

It was awesome
I saw it at the Oriental Theater in Chicago

Zomg, I'd love to see this. The soundtrack is beautiful.

Hey has any one tried the new Wicked puzzle? I think it looks fun,but I want to know how hard it is? Also they have this new wall calendar and I wondered if idena and Kristen were in it? I thin the sets and costumes of cool so I think I'll buy it just for that, but it would be cool if the original cast pics were in it as well...
