Elphaba (The future Wicked Witch of the West) is born green and shunned from society. She meets the ever-popular and pink Glinda (The Good Witch of the North) at college. Elphaba has a knack for magic, so the headmistress of the college sends her and Glinda to the Emerald City to help the Wonderful Wizard of Oz. However, the wizard is not so wonderful and is segregating the talking animals in Oz from the rest of society. Elphaba is enraged because she can identify with the animals--so she speaks out against the wizard and defies him. Glinda remains "good" because she doesn't have the courage to defy the wizard. Elphaba is "good" just thought of as "wicked" because of propaganda from the wizard. In the end, Elphaba escapes...she isn't actually melted, but Glinda has been affected and becomes a less shallow and better person.

I think Wicked seems like a great musical. I really like the movie The Wizard Of Oz so I think I would like to see Wicked. Maybe one day I could go and check it out because it seems like so much fun! I think I've been to one musical in Disney Land. I went to Aladdin but I don't know if that's a real musical. It was very enjoyable and very funny too! Bye!

I think Wicked looks really interesting. It reminds me a lot of Wizard of Oz and I enjoy that movie so I am pretty sure I would enjoy this one. I would love to see the musical, I enjoy watching things like this. Before I were to go and see it I would have to learn more about it so it would make more sense. It seems very interesting.

I think that "Wicked" seems interesting and fun and I'm sure my little siblings would love and enjoy to see it but if I were to go I would probably sleep almost through the whole thing, because I'm not a big fan of musical plays and stuff like that.

I am really interested in 'Wicked' since I never knew the evil witch in 'The Wizard of Oz' was actually good. I would love to go see the musical. Bye!

I think it would be kind of interesting. I might want to go see the whole thing because I am not a super big fan of musicals but it does seem interesting.

I thought Wicked has a really good story and it leads into on of the greatest movies of all time. Most musicals are really cheesy and do not work for me so I would like to watch it again just to see if it is any different.

Personally I don't like these type of movies (witches and wizards and all the stuff. I do like musicals though. I don't really want to see this musical it seems to much like the wizard of oz.

It seems alright but I am not a very big fan of musicals so I would probably not see it myself.

I think if I go and see Wicked, it will be a really powerful experience. I find Elphaba's story really interesting. It's really neat how often the people we perceive as evil might have his/her own story. Maybe they might not have always been evil. This sort of relates to the movie Maleficent. In the Sleeping Beauty story she was the obviously evil one, but after hearing her past your point of view on who she is really changes. I hope this is the case with Elphaba, because I really want to know what happens. I would love to see the musical, because the clip Mrs. Van showed us at school yesterday was really powerful. Okay, bye!

It was pretty good. I never ever went to a musical before and so I might go see the whole musical.
