Wicked-Behind The Emerald Curtain

I have not seen the Broadway show for Wicked, so take that into consideration.
I expected more from «Behind the Emerald Curtain» than it delivered, particularly for $ 38. The «tour» consists of two parts – one is standing around the theater lobby while someone discusses the sets and shows off some costumes and photos, and the other is sitting in the theater watching a DVD play on a 20-​foot screen. The lobby portion is crowded and uncomfortable, and it is difficult to see the speaker and costumes as she is discussing them. The theater portion is like watching portions of a DVD that involve a few interviews with the show’s creators.
I learned a bit about the mounting of a Broadway production, and it was impressive to hear about the thought that went into the sets and costumes, but this certainly wasn’t the sort of «tour» or peak «behind the scenes» I was expecting. I imagine a half hour searching online for Wicked information would yield about the same sort of information.

Great event for anyone who wants to get a peak behind the s need on what it takes to bring a show like this to the stage and the roles of the folks who make the show happen. A lot of this, to be honest, are things one could find through research and YouTube. The opportunity to get the added narrative and Q&A from cast members and get a close up look at the costumes, props and all that goes into them is worth the nominal price of admission. Quite impressive. Cast members were enthusiastic and engaging. If you are hitting the Saturday matinée, this is a decent way to spend the morning and grab some lunch in between.

I went with my friend and her daughter on March 1^st. Kristen and Jarod gave an excellent tour! They took turns speaking and kept the pace going so as to keep us all intrigued. We learned a lot not only about Wicked but about the musical theatre experience as a whole. Very impressive, interesting and well worth the money.

Excellent performance by all especially the wicked witch. Wonderful set.
The plot is thin. The theater was ver chilly about 65 degrees. Great singing but I did not enjoy the music. Still, worth seeing.
