WICKED!!!

Today I went to see the Musical Wicked, with two close friends!

What can I say that hasn't already been said before! The costumes were a delightfully crazy!

The singing- oh the singing- not a note out of place! Kerry Ellis was Fab-u-Lous!
UNluckily Diane Pilkington wasn't on stage as Galinda/Glinda but her stand in Sarah Earnshaw was a very good choice to fill the shoes of Glinda!

Alas the Lovely Oliver Tompsett was not in this Matinee Performance, but his stand in, Dougal Irvine was a very strong vocalist!

The show was a huge aray of colours, catchy songs, and touching moments between friends, sisters and Lovers.

And the little twist at the end of the show added something special to the performance. The book doesn't have this twist which makes the show unqiue from the book. I could have sat there for hours watching this show, and am kept prepared to see it again as soon as possible! Fully worth splashing out on!

The show does vary from the book, but is as good as the original writing of MacGuire. The shows livilness, and the involvement, enthrals everyone. Each song got it's indiviual round of applause, but at the end of the show, although there was a huge amount of tulmutuilous applause, there was no sign of a full standing ovation. There were pockets of people standing and clapping and cheering wildly in which I took part!

The show was very uplifting and I can't wait to go and see it again, before the cast is re shuffled in June 2008.

I'm quite willing to five Wicked! A five star rating! *****

if you get the chance to go and see Wicked, I suggest you do! It's a brilliant experience and a lovely show!

WICKED WAS AWESOME! lol
