Chicago Sun
Times:
..."Wicked" has worked its
magic the old-fashioned way: not with reviews or
awards or heavy marketing, but by connecting with
audiences through its accessible music, story and
characters (who are, admittedly, associated with the
best-loved movie musical of all time). Adapted for the
stage by composer Stephen Schwartz ("Godspell,"
"Pippin") and writer Winnie Holzman ("My So-Called
Life") from a novel by Gregory Maguire, the show's
themes -- the rewards and trials of friendship,
outsiderness vs. popularity, courage in the face of an
oppressive system -- have struck a deep chord in
theatergoers.... [comments from KEVIN NANCE, Sun Times
reporter]
"'Wicked' works on many
levels, and different people find different things in
the show," producer David Stone says. "A 10-year-old
likes the twister and the story of how the Scarecrow
becomes the Scarecrow. A 16-year-old might love the
story of this green girl who becomes accepted, and the
popular girl who becomes good. Young adults might get
involved in the friendship between these two young
women, and the choices and sacrifices we all make in
our lives. Older adults might be interested in the
story of how governments determine what's wicked and
what's good based on how people look. Whatever the
reason, the show touches them, and that's why so many
people return to see the show many times."
