Movie Review: Wicked!

To say I've been waiting A LONG TIME for Wicked to release as a movie would be an understatement. I saw it for the first time on Broadway in December 2006 on a vacation to New York City and was hooked. I have since seen it 4-5 times {I can't remember if I've seen it once or twice in Austin, but I've also seen it in Chicago and Houston}. You can read this post if you want more on my love of Wicked. It was really special to take Drew to see it in Houston and then to take both girls this past spring in Austin {I guess I didn't blog about it, oops}. So of course I had to go with my girls to see the movie!

Plot: Elphaba, a misunderstood young woman because of her green skin, and Glinda, a popular girl, becomes friends at Shiz University in the Land of Oz. After an encounter with the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroad.

Review: HOLY SMOKES, it was INCREDIBLE!!!! I loved every second of it and cannot wait for the 2nd movie. I was basically bawling by the end {it ended when the first act ends in the musical, and I'm always crying then too} and could go see it 100 more times. The girls and my mother-in-law loved it too - it was a grand slam homerun for all 4 of us!
