SYNOPSIS- Wicked tells the story of what happened before Dorothy dropped in. It shows the relationship between the two witches, 'Glinda the Good' and 'The Wicked Witch of the West'.
The music in Wicked it outstanding, so naturally two female leads would be needed to do it justice. For this tour they definitely had this. Jemma Alexander (Elphaba) and Emily Tierney (Glinda) are both equally great with their emotional performances, and the humour also. The whole cast were amazing when put on stage together and vocals were brilliant. The costumes were stunning and they all fitted in so well with the scenery. One of the reasons I loved Wicked the first time I saw it, was due to it's special effects. As this is a tour and the venues will be smaller, I expected a few changes to made, however a lot of it was kept the same and worked very well. I think Wicked is one of these shows that, no matter how many times you go and see it, you will always find something new to enjoy, or even be taken aback by the same things that excited you the first time you watched it. If you were ever on the fence about wanting to go and see Wicked, I urge you to get a ticket, or even just go on YouTube and listen to the music. No matter what age you are, you will find something to love about this show.
