I LOVE WICKED! I am so excited that wicked will be playing Pittsburgh for a month. I don’t know why but I think wicked was one the best put together shows. I don’t think that it’s the best show ever I think that all the elements work really well and thus created a good piece of theatre. It is always exciting to see alumni come back to Pittsburgh. Michael always seems to be a huge hype man of Carnegie so it will be exciting to see if he comes to campus/ when I see the show with him in it. One of the most interesting parts of this article was that Justin has done wicked over 3,000 times. To me that is an incredible feat to stay on a tour for that long doing the same role over and over again. I wonder what it is like for him to travel all the time in different city’s.
I am incredibly excited to see this production of Wicked, as I got tickets for Christmas, and read the book it is based on over break. The book was incredible, and I can't wait to see how it is adapted in the musical. I'm also really looking forward to it since it will be the first big Broadway show I go to! It will no doubt be exciting to see theater performed on such a large scale and budget, and I really look forward to it. I am also interested to see how they alter the source material from the book, as I found the book to be a very mature and dark read that will likely differ from the tone of the Broadway musical. Overall, I can't wait to see what they do with this production. I am sure it will be a memorable, educational, and above all enjoyable visit to the theater.
I think it’s great the TribLive is letting everyone know of the people from Pittsburgh in the article. Hopefully this will get people to see Wicked and encourage ticket sales for future productions. Involving more people in the theater is never a bad thing and highlighting the local community to show that the actors are just regular people is a great way to start. Also, for children who want to be involved in theater, professional or recreational, these people can serve an a in inspiration. It's interesting to see the different people that that these actors credit their start in theater for. Harry Bouvy credits his drama teacher, Michael Campayno credits the CLO, and Justin Wirick credits his parents. Overall, this is a fun article that highlights the local community and the amazing theater that gets brought to Pittsburgh. Hopefully this article will bring people to the theater and encourage them to see Wicked.
