Wicked

I went out watching a musical with a friend yesterday, Wicked it was. Well, he's leaving for good in a two week time and we may never see each other again. I always have this feeling that he doesn't really fond of me and only will hang around with me if there is no one else around. So well, when he said he planned to watch a musical, I asked if he's going for Lion King or Wicked, since these two fascinated me much. So Wicked it was.

The story line was okay. The songs were okay, even I don't remember any single tone of the music, so the music must not be that ear-catching to my not-so-sophisticated ear. Nevertheless, I am listening to the Wicked album now on Spotify and in particular quite fancy No One Mourns the Wicked (the wicked cries alone, the wicked cries alone) and I'm not That Girl (wishing only wounds the heart). And oh, Popular is quite a catch on my ear. I quite like Galinda (or later Glinda) by the way, sounds like me, a bit soft hearted, not so much of a brainer if you don't want to call it dumb, child-like most of the time, somehow popular in some circles, but without the beautiful and fair part. One more, I hate the Fiyero guy. Such a loser he is, wandering around Glinda without loving her and in a blink of time, when Alphaba showed up again, turned to Alphaba leaving the full of love Glinda broken-hearted and confused.

This is the cast of the play: Rachel Tucker (Elphaba), Louise Dearman (Glinda), Mark Evans (Fiyero), Julie Legrand (Madame Morrible), Clive Carter (The Wizard), Julian Forsyth (Dr Dillamond), Zoë Rainey (Nessarose), Ben Stott (Boq). Worth watching, in my opinion, and clearly worthed the 18 pounds for the ticket and 10 pounds for the rail rover!
