Wicked

*laughing quietly* Oh, yes. My icon should tell anyone that. That's me cosplaying Elphaba, which I also did every time I've seen the West End production (I was the first girl to attend it dressed as Elphie, right back before the 'official' opening night). I've seen Idina as Elphaba twice, which makes a lot of my friends in the fandom very envious. *cackles* Also, my hardcover copy of the book is autographed by Adam Garcia, who makes a wonderful Fiyero.

Glinda: "I know you don't want to hear this but someone has to say it! You are out of control! I mean, they're just shoes, let it go!"

"Whats in the punch?"
"Lemons Melons and Pears"
"Oh my!"

"We can't all come and go by bubble!"

[Cinnamon Wind]

i only listened to the songs, my favorite quote from those is from popular:

And with an assist from me
To be who you'll be
Instead of dreary who-you-were
Well, are
There's nothing that can stop you
From becoming popu-
Ler
Lar
La la la la
We're gonna make
You popular

It is definitely amazing! I saw it a week ago, and I'm already trying to convince my mom to go see it again!!(i saw it with my dad last time, because my mom stayed home with my little sister, she's 8)
Fav Quotes (that I can remember)

Oh how tragically beautiful you are-Madam Morrible to Nessa
Yes, and I'm the other sister...I'm beautifully tragic-Elphaba

Flip Flip...Teeheeheeheehee-Galinda

That's all I can remember for now...add some if you can.....

I've only read the book but I want to see the musical I've heard it's good from alot of people. I haven't been able to find any showings near me at good times for me.

I've never watched Glee, but after reading some of your posts about it I may need to change that.

You definitely should; Glee is amazing! It's just such a happy show, which is why my roommates and I watch it; at some points, life is just too unhappy, and you need a happy, simple TV show for fun.

On the other hand...Wicked. My favorite musical. I saw it two years ago when it was on tour in Cleveland, and it was amazing! I wanted to go back (it's in Cleveland again, right now actually) but I just don't have the money or time to go again, since next week is finals week, and this week I have a lot of papers. Plus, I don't actually have a way to get to Cleveland from school. I'm a dork, and really like the song "The Wizard and I." Still not sure why, but my roommates have caught me belting it out in the shower more than a few times.

Oh! Oh! Oh! I saw Wicked in Chicago yesterday!! It was really amazing! I've had a combination of 'March Of The Witch Hunters' and 'No Good Deed' stuck in my head since yesterday. It was great! We got lost for a while 'cause the directions were wrong, and we didn't eat till afterward. We live about 3 hours away, and we didn't get home till 1 am!! It was Great!!!

That's great! It's amazing, isn't it?

Who was in the cast? What was your favorite song to see performed?

I loved the musical ((Saw it in San Francisco)). But i really have no idea on the rest. :P

I've been listening to Kurt's version of Defying Gravity pretty much nonstop for the past few nights, and yeah, I really wish he hadn't done that. Reasons and whatever aside, I wince every time the song approaches the climax... but it is SO GOOD.

[Deus Ira]

Indeed -- here's one of my LJ userpics. Made it myself....

thats rather awsm.

[Garrett Fitzgerald]

But then, I also kept thinking, "why are they competing? Isn't "Defying Gravity" a duet?--Kurt can be Glinda!"

If they're going to do that, it needs to be "For Good" instead of "Defying Gravity" -- that's a much better duet. :-) I've been wondering -- since that diva-off was apparently partially based on reality (Colfer's teacher not letting him do the song), did he take the opportunity to sing it with Chenoweth while she was available? :-)

Never heard of it but, Repo: The Genetic Opera is the best gore movie ive seen in a long time. And it has some awsm songs.

I wish Kurt hadn't blown the high note on purpose -- I think he was going to win, up to that point. :-(

And I thought Rachel had it in the bag. But then, I also kept thinking, "why are they competing? Isn't "Defying Gravity" a duet?--Kurt can be Glinda!"

And wasn't it a hoot they got Chenoweth to guest star? I do wonder how long it will be before they give a song to Will's parents. I mean, you don't hire Victor Garber and Debra Monk not to have them sing.

I once had this little fantasy that Bryan Fuller would somehow get Idina Menzel and Tracie Thoms to guest star on Pushing Daisies so we could have a three-way diva-off in the inevitable Musical Episode they were gonna do. Tracie Thoms was in Wonderfalls as well as going toe-to-toe singing "Take Me For What I Am" with Menzel in the film of Rent, so I hoped. At the Paleyfest, Fuller said that at Chenoweth's birthday party they were shamlessly hitting up all the B'way stars who attended to appear on the show.

I've seen Wicked, and loved it. I was totally obsessed for months, and still am somewhat, though I think Rent might be stealing it's place as my favorite. I'm reading the book, and so far it's quite good, though I see what you mean. Though actually, I like some of the characters far more in the book than I did in the musical.
