Wicked is exactly what the title suggests.
It's worth more than the money you paid, the vocals are spine-chilling and the set, orchestra and cast are absolutely amazing. Plus the Capitol Theatre is very pretty. Much better than the Opera House in my opinion.
I went into the Capitol Theatre without really knowing the real plot of the musical. I only knew that it was set prior to Dorothy's arrival in Oz. I'm not going to spoil it but the plot flows and is really interesting. I watched the opening of the musical with this face :0 And pretty much watched the whole thing with this face except for the times I remembered to close my mouth. Honestly, I would go watch Wicked again. However my mum does not let me because she thinks I'm crazy and it's too expensive.
The music is wow. The orchestra was underneath the stage (I think) and the casts' vocals are O.O I bought the Original Broadway Cast Soundtrack but the Australian Cast is better. But you have to see the performances of the songs live. Defying Gravity is definitely my favourite out of all the songs. Jemma Rix who was Elphaba has an amazing voice. This performance was the last before the intermission and it gave me the chills.
The cast is excellent. Lucy Durack who played Galinda/Glinda is hilarious. Jemma Rix has one of the best voices I have ever heard. I never knew Rob Mills was in Wicked and was surprised to see him. I saw Bert Newton...not that exciting but it's cool to see someone from TV.
In short, go watch it.
