Wicked at Bass Hall

[guitartex]

Has anyone seen the Broadway musical "Wicked" at Bass Hall ? If so, what did you think ? We are going Sunday night.

Thanks

Not at Bass, but I went to see it in Chicago and it was great. If this production is half as good as the one I saw it will be worth it.

DO NOT MISS THIS SHOW.   Seriously.

Saw it in Dallas. Gave me a migraine, but it was still good and I hate musicals.

Excellent show. Good songs, and it's very interesting how it uses the Wizard of Oz theme that everyone knows, from a totally different viewpoint.

front row center at sunday's matinee. The wife loved it and I am sitting pretty for the time being. (Wife is drama teacher) I enjoyed it, the wife loved it.

Saw it last night with my wife.

I'm not a big fan of musicals, though I can appreciate them when they are done well.

Wicked was very, very good. Watching the show made me want to read the book. Now, I have to admit that the songs weren't the catchiest I've ever seen. In terms of the actual music, I liked Avenue Q WAAAAYYY better. But, the story is so interesting that it completely makes up for the vanilla music. (Note: when we went, the main actress was replaced by an understudy, so it is possible that when the star is back in there, the songs are a little better).

The other thing that is really good is the actual stage construction and visuals. Just really, really impressive.

Too much for a 4.5 year old who loves the WoO?

I have a friend who is playing in the orchestra and he suggested the show is about 2.5 hours long with a single intermission. Not sure the kid will be able to hang.
