Wicked - Reviews. REVIEWS for Wicked - the Stephen Schwartz - Winnie Holzman Witches of Oz musical. Chicago Sun Times.."Wicked" has worked its magic the old- fashioned way: not with reviews or awards or heavy marketing, but by connecting with audiences through its accessible music, story and characters (who are, admittedly, associated with the best- loved movie musical of all time). Adapted for the stage by composer Stephen Schwartz ("Godspell," "Pippin") and writer Winnie Holzman ("My So- Called Life") from a novel by Gregory Maguire, the show's themes - - the rewards and trials of friendship, outsiderness vs. KEVIN NANCE, Sun Times reporter]"'Wicked' works on many levels, and different people find different things in the show," producer David Stone says. A 1. 0- year- old likes the twister and the story of how the Scarecrow becomes the Scarecrow.

A 1. 6- year- old might love the story of this green girl who becomes accepted, and the popular girl who becomes good. Young adults might get involved in the friendship between these two young women, and the choices and sacrifices we all make in our lives. Older adults might be interested in the story of how governments determine what's wicked and what's good based on how people look. Whatever the reason, the show touches them, and that's why so many people return to see the show many times."Don't miss Home Page for Wicked the Musical.

Peter Filicia review - theatermania. Wicked the musical New York Times review by Ben Brantley October 3. There's Trouble in Emerald City"Brantley seems most taken by Kristin Chenoweth's performance, including her entry from high up above the stage in her "bubble." He writers: ".. That's Kristin Chenoweth, who is currently giving jaw- dropping demonstrations of the science of show- biz aeronautics in "Wicked," the Technicolorized sermon of a musical that opened last night at the Gershwin Theater. Playing Glinda the Good Witch in this equally arch and earnest show, a revisionist look at "The Wizard of Oz," Ms.

Chenoweth must put across jokes and sight gags that could make angels fall. Never for a second, though, does she threaten to crash to earth.

Reviews for Wicked - Broadway musical by Stephen Schwartz, composer for Godspell, Pippin. After a series of inexplicable murders sweeps a small, isolated community, Father Henry goes to a local police detective with a theory on why the murders are occurring.

Even lying down, Ms. Chenoweth — who performed similar magic in "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" four years ago (and won a Tony) — remains airborne, proving that in the perilous skies of Broadway, nothing can top undiluted star power as aviation fuel."In his New York Times review, Brantley also gave a nod of appreciation to Menzel and others. He believes the show "is steeped in talent," and lists Idina Menzel's "larynx of steel," the director, writers, and designers. The review continues exploring the meaning of the show.

The contrast between the young women, who wind up as reluctant roommates at sorcery school, is used to examine a society that values surface over substance, the illusion of doing good over the genuinely noble act. It goes without saying that you don't have to squint to find parallels with a certain contemporary Western nation in which artful presidential photo ops win more votes than legislative change."See Wicked on Broadway.

Wicked street buzz - Comments from Theatre Goers. The word- of- mouth publicity for Wicked has made the show the huge hit that it is. I often hear from many people who see the show and recommend it to friends or buy tickets to attend again.

A director from Rockford Illinois told me he went home after seeing the show and recommended it to 1. Many people e- mail me and say it's the best musical they have ever seen or top in 1. From M. C. of New York: Not since TITANIC, have I been so favorably surprised by a show as I was tonight seeing WICKED. I can understand some of the criticism I've read (It is a bit precious at times, .. WIZARD OF OZ). But I fell for it, witch's warts and all.

I've attended a number of musicals in recent years, where I felt like a was on a different planet: I sat totally stone- faced while audiences were laughing all around me at humor I found either annoyingly smug or sophmoric. WICKED left me captivated and chuckling throughout, eager to know where and how the next plot twist would occur. Topping it off, the final duet "For Good" was the most moving new song I've heard in several seasons (Probably because it touched a very personal chord in me).

Comments of Stephanie T. Maine: "My husband and I just got back from seeing the show on Saturday and we both thought it was fantastic!!!

I loved, loved, loved the score and during "Defying Gravity" all the hair on my body stood up on end. I know I will put the CD in my car and listen to it constantly until it is committed to memory. It was just thrilling to see and I did not want the show to end.

That is why I was looking at the different web links - to find out when the CD would be released. This is a very strong score and book with great casting - the leads complement each other so well. The second act was very moving (I was crying). There was a good balance between humor and poignancy. It should win every Tony award this year! I think I am more of a fan of the whole show than one particular cast member.

I really enjoyed Ms. Menzel's voice, it has such emotive strength.

I thought her role was very demanding physically and emotionally and that she captured the character wonderfully well (I can't imagine what kind of facials she is going to need to get that green out of her skin). Ms. Chenowyth also does a great job - her voice sparkles and her comedic timing is spot on. Everyone else at the theatre seemed to enjoy it as well. We were all on the edge of our seats.

It felt like there was a great rapport between the audience and the cast. When that happens it is a combination of all of the forces working together seamlessly. It felt like the show was "of a piece", as we say in painting; one part did not jump out as a separate entity. It all worked together.

I will always remember how it felt to see and hear it all for the first time. Another comment from M. L. of Virginia: "I have gotten ten families going to New York now and only to see Wicked.

The music is so superior, the costumes breathtaking, the script sharp, but most of all decent for all members of the family to see. New York hasn't even grasped the concept of what has happened by having this wonderful production in their city."From Matt B: .. A theatre goer since I was 2, I am now 2. I can not recall being as moved in so many directions as I was while watching Wicked.

First of all, if you don't leave the theater with a mad crush on Idina Menzel then things are not in order. My review is not about detailing the show. My review is simple and from my heart. The show touched me, touched me so deeply inside. Defying Gravity".. I was the witch growing up [outcast- like]. So many of us were.

This show truly penetrates your spirit.. It is the first show I have seen where I did not want to find the holes in the script or discuss what could have made it stronger. I left in pure utopia. And I am still there. Listening to the cd, I repeat Defying Gravity and you will too, makes your imagination wander and if you are a writer, like me, forces you to your computer to write things that you can't believe were born from a witch singing about "the western skies." I love this show. I love it for its backbone and truth.

From Jen: If I could pick where I had to die, It would be at a performance of Wicked. If I could pick the last words that I heard, It would be the last note of the song "Defying Gravity." This show is utterly amazing! Mahabharat Star Plus Episode 211 Download.

From Hols F. of Minnesotat: Wicked is a musical that does best what musicals are supposed to do: transport the audience beyond the world they know.
