Since it first opened on Broadway in 2003, Wicked has become something of a phenomenon amongst musical theatre aficionados. It has become a world-wide hit, made huge stars of its first lead actresses and provided half the storylines in the first series of “Glee”.

The story interweaves itself through the timeless movie, The Wizard of Oz. It does so in such a way that it adds to, rather than subtracts from, the magic of the film. The set is stunning with scenery gliding around to take the audience on a journey through the life of Elphaba. She is the green-skinned daughter of the Governor of Munchkinland. We follow her transformation from an innocent, naïve schoolgirl with an unexpected talent, falling in love with the handsome Fiyero, to the infamous Wicked Witch of the West. Elphaba’s opponent in so many ways is the pretty, spoiled Garlinda and their relationship forms the backbone of the show.

Signature song “Defying Gravity” has what is reputed to be the hardest note to hit, the High F, and to do so, while flying above the stage with a massive array of lights shining on you takes some talent, but Elphaba pulls it off with ease. Similarly, Garlinda’s songs require an actress with a 4 octave vocal range. Both characters have amazing solo parts, Elphaba has two really awesome songs, but it is when they sing together, that the true relationship between them is obvious.
