REVIEWS for the Stephen Schwartz - Winnie Holzman Musical Wicked
TIME Magazine:
"If every musical had the brain, the heart and the courage of 'Wicked', Broadway really would be a magical place."USA Today:
"'Wicked' IS A TRIUMPH!" ... "Remember the last time an original Broadway musical made you laugh, cry and think - in the right places and for the right reasons? 'Wicked' is the most complete, and completely satisfying, new musical in a long time.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. popularity, courage in the face of an oppressive system -- have struck a deep chord in theatergoers.... "Chicago Tribune:
" 'Wicked' works on many levels, and different people find different things in the show," producer David Stone says. "A 10-year-old likes the twister and the story of how the Scarecrow becomes the Scarecrow. A 16-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."Toronto Star:
"The book by Winnie Holzman (based on Gregory Maguire's smashing novel) is a truly clever piece of work. It offers us the backstory to the witches of Oz — good and wicked — as well as filling us in on where the ruby slippers came from, how the Tin Man and Scarecrow wound up like they did, etc. But it's also a serious exploration of the nature of friendship, as well a cautionary fable about the danger of governments who rule by fear. All of this is also captured by Stephen Schwartz's tuneful score, which knows when to soar with inspiring pop anthems or when to make you smile with its musical and lyrical cleverness."BuyWickedTickets.com is an independent ticket broker.
