The smash hit musical and highest grossing show on Broadway, Wicked, returned to LA in February. It quickly has become the hottest ticket in town. The untold story of the witches of Oz is now showing at the historic Pantages Theatre in Hollywood. I recently had the chance to check out the scene and I was utterly impressed.

Typically, the word musical would scare me away from a performance. However, I have always been intrigued by da Baum books. So, I put my hetero-ego aside and watched the entire three hour engaging show.

Fantastic! Everything about the show was stellar. From the unbelievable vocal chords of both leading women to the set design and venue, Wicked was wicked awesome.

My favorite part of the show actually occured prior to the first act. I was in line to enter the theatre, and right on cue, a temperamental women on a bicycle flew by the crowd. I couldn’t help but hum the tune from the film.

Tickets are available on Broadway/L.A.’s Web site - www.broadwayla.org - or by calling 866-755-BWAY.
