Why I love Wicked The Musical

12/13/2013 by The Mama Maven

You may be just a little familiar with the story, but Wicked the Musical tells the story of the Witches of OZ, before that girl from Kansas drops in. It’s a great message of not judging people by what they look like and how unlikely friends can come together to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good.


While I don’t want to spoil the plot, you’re going to find yourself rooting for Elphaba (the so- called Wicked Witch). But you’ll find Glinda the Good pretty charming. Originated by Kristin Chenoweth (whom the musical role was written for),  she’s currently played by Alli Mauzey. Who was absolutely hysterical and kind of stole the show with her antics.

So, if you love drama, incredible vocals and music, a little comedy and strong acting, Wicked the Musical is for you.

Running time for the show is 2 hours and 30 minutes, plus a 15-minute intermission.

Should you bring the kids?

While it’s recommended age for children is 8 and up and no children under 5 admitted — personally, I wouldn’t bring kids under 12 or 13 to this. My 8 year old son would have not really understood a lot of the things going on and he would have been scared at some of the parts. If you see it with your tween, familiarize yourself with the plot and discuss what’s going to happen with your child. This is based on the Gregory Maguire books, which is a “revisionist tale of the 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum, its sequels, and the 1939 film adaptation.” (*Wikipedia).

Go to Wicked the Musical for more info.

My tickets were comped in exchanged for my honest review.
