Defying Gravity
December 10, 2011
I never imagined that I would enjoy a Broadway musical this much, just goes to show the amazing talent of the cast and the brilliance in planning, detail and the choreography of the whole performance.
As a birthday celebration for Evelyn, we caught Wicked! Though lead Alphaba’s name keeps escaping me, she was the character I related most to. Misunderstood for the warped perspective. Held back by society just because I look different, behave differently and always getting caught in the middle.
If only one would learn to be more accepting of others and make their life an easier one to live. Wouldn’t the world get a little better? Of course the theatrics of the musical dramatised the expressions to exaggeration beyond comprehension. Yet one cannot help but wonder how the elaborated feelings strike such a realistic chord?
The humour was nothing short of clever. As far as scorned women go, Wicked depicts the perfect combination of silly, serious, fierce and magical stunningly all while poking fun at rejected schoolmates and the ever beautiful and popular girl everyone wants to be with.
If you’ve ever felt like everything you’ve worked so hard for crumbled at every single one of your touch, Wicked might just be for you.
