Wicked

Anna and I went to Oxford Circus to see the new musical Wicked - a ‘revisionist’ version of The Wizard of Oz, in which the Wicked Witch isn’t so wicked afterall. It’s absolutely brilliant – the script is crackling with intelligence and adult humour, and the music is hip and modern, and in parts very catchy. The London cast has US actress Idina Menzel reprising the role of Elphaba (the Wicked Witch), and Australian Helen Dallimore as Glinda (the Good Witch). See it, see it, see it.
