Saw Wicked with my niece.  I thought it was pretty good if you like
that sort of thing (and I don't mind a musical new & then).  The
fact that the star made a public ass of herself recently didn't
stop a solid performance, and Glenda was quite good as well..  I
also liked that they didn't make the wheelchair using sister into
a saint.  I did feel that the music wasn't up to the Ashman/Menken
level with the exception of the closing number which had a real "A
Whole New World" feel and was excellent.  Be aware it ends on a
cliffhanger.
 Anyone know if there were a post-credit scene?  My niece wasn't going to
indulge my penchant for sitting through the whole credit reel.

 I heard the opening weekend of "Glicked" was nowhere near that of
"Barbenheimer."
 

 Well, I don't know why it would be.  Barbie is a beloved toy owned by
about half the population.  "Wicked" is a book/musical read/heard by a
fraction of that.

Based on The Wizard of Oz which is at least as big a pop culture legend as Barbie.
