\u201cWicked\u2019 returns to Singapore direct from a multi record-breaking tour of the UK. Since the musical began 13 years ago, it has won 100 international awards, including three Tony Awards on Broadway and two Olivier Awards in London’s West End. What is the story about? Should I bring my family to watch it? Is it for suitable for kids? Read on!<\/p>\n

Set in a spectacular and colourful fantasy world of wizards, witches, magic and spells (the Land of Oz), WICKED tells the story of an unlikely but profound friendship between a popular blonde girl called Glinda and a misunderstood, green-skinned girl named Elphaba. Filled with wonder and enchantments, this musical follows their personal journey from sorcery students to becoming the iconic ‘Glinda The Good’ and the ‘Wicked Witch of the West’ from L. Frank Baum\u2019s beloved tale \u2018The Wonderful Wizard of Oz\u2019. It is a moving story that touches on themes of friendship, acceptance and the power of kindness.  <\/p>\n

Six Spellbinding Reasons Why You Should Watch \u201cWicked\u201d:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. The Cast:<\/strong> I MUST start with this! The cast \u2013from lead to supporting actors and actresses are honestly and truly exceptional. As a family of musical fans, we know quality musical when we watch one and THIS definitely tops all that we\u2019ve watched this year! The acting, the singing, the choreography… all top notch.<\/p>\n

2. The Voices:<\/strong> Intricately tied to the cast is the singing and here it is just sensational. We were literally moved by the singing and voice quality particularly of Jacqueline Hughes (who plays Elphaba) and Carly Anderson (who plays Glinda), both of whom have performed this role to critical acclaim internationally. Hughes\u2019 emoting of the whirlwind of conviction, joy, loneliness that Elphaba experiences moves the audience while Anderson, does her interval leaps and melodies in crystal-clear clarity effortlessly. On that note, Hughes\u2019 rendition of \u2018Defying Gravity\u2019 was stupendously moving and her duet with Anderson on \u2018For Good\u2019 moved many to tears.<\/p>\n
