I loved seeing this show with my daughter and wife, we even ran into a some friends of us who were also sitting in the orchestra section. We got luck and got a good deal at A HREF="http://www.goldencircle.net/"Golden Circle/A. Regular tickets were like $100, we paid a little more but got right up close. I would recommend this show to anyone with children between the ages of 7 and up. If they are younger it may go over their head. We had fun.

Few musicals can rival Wicked in terms of song, romance, color, spectacle, and heart. Winnie Holzman’s book sparkles with wit and magic. Stephen Schwartz’s music and lyrics are funny, thrilling, and memorable creations. Wicked’s design team has done dazzling work. Megan Hilty, as Galinda, has created and perfected a performance that is sheer comic brilliance. Caissie Levy captures Elphaba’s cute oddness in the early scenes and transitions effectively into the strong, brave woman that Elphaba becomes. Joanne Worley reinvents the role of sorceress Madame Morrible and John Rubenstein continues to delight as the Wizard, Kristoffer Cusick has Fiyero’s swagger down pat, and cuts a heroic romantic figure opposite Levy in their love scenes. Wicked is likely to be filling the Pantages for months and even years to come. Read my full review at www.LAStageScene.com.
