Another incredible show at Marina Bay Sands recently, Wicked, the untold story of the witches of Oz. I had heard so many good reviews of Wicked and the show lived up to all of them! "Long before Dorothy dropped in, two other girls meet in the Land of Oz. One, born with emerald green skin, is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. Wicked tells the story of how these two unlikely friends grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good". http://wickedthemusical.com.sg
Wicked is a visual feast! With flying monkeys, a huge mechanical dragon, incredible costumes and floating bubbles, the set is award-winning. The music and lyrics by Stephan Schwartz are powerful and the show entertains from start to finish trying to determine the answer to the question posed as the show opens, "Are people born wicked or do they have wickedness thrust upon them?". Towards the end of the first Act I actually found myself close to tears when Elphaba (The Wicked Witch) discovers her inner strength and sings "Defying Gravity" whilst floating in mid-air. Wicked is actually quite a thought-provoking musical. It also provides an insight into how the Scarecrow, TinMan and Lion all end up in the Wizard of Oz, and you will get to learn why Dorothy and Toto were sent to the Land of Oz. Wicked is an epic musical...I'm very tempted to book again!
