Jon got us surprise tickets to see Wicked last night. It was very fun, although it made for a late Wednesday night. The costumes of course are stunning - very much historically-influenced with crazy tweaks and colors - as well as expensive looking. And the music was good; the Wicked Witch (Elphaba) especially has a great voice. The story bogged down a little in the second act, but in general the music, costumes, and colorful staging and lights made it a fun show. And they had some simple and effective flying - this thumbnail was a very impressive "witch on a broom moving very fast" that they did with basically just her hanging there and some crazy spotlights.
