I don't know whether there is a thread for this or not... but here is mine. ^__^
Anyways, I just want to say that Wicked is definitely my favourite broadway musical. It greatly amuses me how its being translated into Japanese. Do any of you like Wicked/other musicals? (If you say Rent, I'll have to strangle you. Its the worst musical movie ever made. I haven't seen the show, so I can't comment on that, but the movie was a waste of money.) |

I totally agree (about Rent, I mean). Thank God, a voice of reason. I love you now.
Anyway, I haven't seen Wicked, but the book was brilliant. I'm a Phantom of the Opera fan, myself. |

i dont really like rent either, but you should at least i dont know, actually hear the orginal soundtrack. the singing is much better :) adia (sp?), a new brain and you're a good man charlie brown (it makes me happy) are good too |

I, for one, have heard the original soundtrack to Rent. I love the music, hate the story.

I have not had the pleasure of seeing Wicked, however my friend utterly loves it. I suppose I would too.

I've also heard that the musical is completely different than the book. Is that true?

I love Wicked, ah, def have listened to that soundtrack multiple times.
And I hate to say this but I love RENT as well. I sing a long to that soundtrack too. Adam Pascal <3 Other favorite shows would have to include Aida, 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Phantom Of The Opera, A Chorus Line... I'm in the middle of doing a production of "Thoroughly Modern Millie". I love this show as well. The music is great, i love it! yay theater freaks. lol |

Okies... I actually have heard the RENT soundtrack, and the music is okay, I only like a couple of the songs.
Yes, the stage production of Wicked is SO different from the book, but, in my opinion, its better. I love the music in Phantom, but I hate the story line. I dunno... it just annoys me. I saw Wicked when it came to Dtroit, and I can't wait to go see it agian someday. Probably in Chicago. I've never seen AIDA, but I have the soundtrack, and its AMAZING. I also have the SPAMalot soundtrack, and its also AMAZING. The only other musical that I've actually seen is Mary Poppins, when my school went to London last February. Wow... that was a lot of replies. XD |

When I went to NY, I was supposed to see it, but it was f**king sold out. I saw Mamma Mia instead.

QUOTE(glorwen @ Jul 31 2006, 4:17 PM)  I love the music in Phantom, but I hate the story line. I dunno... it just annoys me. Well, you're entitled to your opinion. But I adore it. The end kinda pisses me off...I would have chosen the Phantom...but anyway, the book is pretty different than the show. I like the show better than the book. The Phantom comes off as more evil in the book. |

I saw Wicked and it was awesome! I love the book and the musical didn't disappoint either. Rent is bad? I was looking forward to seeing it, I still am, someday.

I was lucky enough to see it while Idina Menzel was still in it (but not Kristin Chenoweth, unforunately).

Its really good, I promise!  QUOTE(Madame C @ Jul 31 2006, 10:17 PM) I was lucky enough to see it while Idina Menzel was still in it (but not Kristin Chenoweth, unforunately). *gasp* LUCKY. I wanna go to London and watch her perform, but my parents are being stupid. They say that since I went in February, they won't let me go. rawr. |
