Wicked Broadway Theater Review
By Al Terry, Sat Dec 10th

The hottest most sold out New York theater event in a long time,the production of Wicked is selling out tickets, gaining fansand driving internet ticket sales through the roof. Why? Why?and i will ask again...why? well, the facinating story of theoriginal "Wizard Of Oz" is kept alive on Broadway, Wicked tellsthe story well before Dorothy ever steps foot on the yellowbrick road, well before Kansas is even hit by a tornado and wellbefore Toto becomes a house hold name.

Wicked begins it's storyline well before any of these event, amatter of fact it begins with the youth of what will become the"Witches of Oz", focusing on how these two friends left schooland headed to the Emerald forest, how they met the Wizard andhow they seperated into two different directions, good and evil.The

characters really tell a deeper story of the Americanconcept of good and evil and how it relates into our societytoday.

Winning the praises of critics and audiences alike, with asomewhat weak musical score compared to other venues on thefamed Broadway theater distric in the heart of New York, whatyou get here is the "prequel" the the original "Wizard of Oz"which is facinating in itself. If you are a fan of the original,then Wicked is a must see for you. The preoduction is enduringgreat success at the Gershwin Theatre and will be runningthrough 2006.
