Wicked

I've never been a huge Dorothy fan...that is, the Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. I liked the movie growing up, no doubt. But I was never the kind of kid that knew everything about the movie, characters, etc.

Enter the musical Wicked. Wow! To give you a very simple introduction, it's the background story to Wizard of Oz (although of course artistic liberty is taken and I don't think it's to be over-analyzed when thinking about the rest of the story as seen through Dorothy's dramatic experiences in Oz).

The music in Wicked is exceptional. We find ourselves listening to it constantly (which has been going on for several months now). The "plot line" is great. And so, in short, I recommend you pick it up today and give it a listen. You will probably need to just take some time to relax in front of your speakers and listen to what's going on so that you'll understand what you're hearing. And if you do get hooked, you might need to appeal to a loving family member to give you a present like the awesome one we received from my aunt and uncle. Check it out here.

Let me know if you pick it up and how you like it!
