Wicked

Yesterday was my sister's birthday, so a surprise for her I took her to see Wicked today. I had asked Mum and Dad to ensure she kept today clear, and told no more. I think the surprise was kept right up until we reached the doors of the Apollo Theatre.

I really enjoy the theatre, specifically musicals and fortunately we share similar tastes over certain things, so I was pretty confident with this surprise.

It has been one of my favourite musicals for quite some time, I was trying to pin down why Wicked is so good…

• Good adaption form the book, impressive to do considering the massive constraints.
• Incredibles songs that have both good lyrical content, music and musicians to perform them.
• Massive set and costume design that is regularly changing.

I'm beginning to sound a little too much like a fanboy for this blog so I'm going to stop. I may have to do a proper review of the musical at some point.
