I had heard such build up for this production. It was truly wonderful, but a tad on the disappointing side...especially the first act. Gets much much better during the second. More

I have goose bumps every time I watch this show! Nothing compares to this!! Elphaba and Glinda are both amazing! But watch out for Fiero. He took my breath away! No one can watch this show and not want to belt out defying gravity in the car ride back home! More

Incredible performance. Great cast. I'm still singing the songs. But Broadway always brings me to my feet for a standing O and tears to my eye. O the talent gets me everytime. More
