A STORY NOTE
WICKED
A group of Seniors attended a performance of Wicked at the Orpheum Wednesday. I had a difficult time understanding what was going on most of the time Part of the problem was my hearing deficit and the other was that much of the plot was delivered in song. Thia is what I gleaned.
The wife of a bigwig has a one-night stand with a traveling salesman. As a result, a green baby is born.
A beautiful blond descends in a “bubble” to announce the wicked green one is dead. She then recalls how she and the green one became friends meeting at the University where the green one and her sister a disabled girl also attended. The evil head mistress discovers that the green one has powers when she seeks to separate the sisters and assigns the green one and the blond one to be roommates. When the ne’er-do-well, handsome prince shows up both the green one and the blond one become enamored.
For some reason, unclear to me, the girls go to the city of Oz and meet the Wonderful Wizard, who turns out to be the traveling salesman. The headmistress is now Public Relations for the Wizard and they both are up to no good.
The disabled sister gets her hands on the book of spells and turns her devoted aide into the heartless Tin man. She has a pair of silvery shoes and a house falls on her
And my favorite part of the show, the flying monkeys.
After the intermission, Glinda is to announce her engagement to the prince who is now the Head Guard. The Cowardly Lion is represented by people pulling on a rope tail. The former University Professor can no longer speak except for Baa. Everybody thinks the green one is wicked. The green one and Glinda make up. It appears that Dorothy pours water on the green one and nothing remains but her hat. Glinda takes the hat and leaves. The Strawman, formerly the Head Guard, formerly the Prince, opens a hole in the stage. The green one emerges and she and the Strawman depart for somewhere where they can live happily ever after and no one will notice a strawman and a green person.
Meanwhile Glinda becomes a good witch whose best friend stole her boyfriend and is destined to spend her spinsterhood alone.
