Wicked

At Nicole's request, we went to see Wicked last night at the Apollo Victoria Theatre. Despite being a lot of work to get there (30 minutes by tube or bus) and being very hot inside the theatre, the musical itself was very entertaining. I didn't have any prior experience with the Wicked storyline, so I was very amused by how they work everything in to fit nicely with the original film. I assume the book is similar, only more so. Anyone read it?

It also never ceases to amaze me how good the performers are (and how do they get her skin so green without makeup that would rub-off???). The lead players all had amazing voices, it will surely inspire my shower-singing for weeks to come (not that I know any of the tunes from the play).
