Hey, I just went to watch the play "Wicked" and I must say it was wickedly good! *Winked*

I got the Cat 4 stage seat, which was priced at $145 + $3 (sistic charge). On a side note, why is Sistic charging us a $3 for booking? I mean, the musical company will pay for the venue (Marina Bay Sands) right? So in fact Sistic is getting paid on both side, both the musical company and the audience! Grrrr

Anyway, I personally think it's worthwhile to get a better seat ticket. The play is 3 hours long, and you definitely dun wan to strain your neck after the play ends. The stage is impressive but small, so sitting at the upper decks probably wont get to see the full view of the stage. "Invest wisely"! =p

For people who are interested, please click here for the official website and of coz, the 'schemeing" Sistic website here. LOL

Extracted from the official website,

"WICKED tells the untold story of the Witches of Oz. Long before Dorothy dropped in, two other girls meet in the Land of Oz. One, born with emerald green skin, is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. WICKED tells the story of how these two unlikely friends grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good."


But I'm not here to tell you about the play content. Hey, I dun wan to reveal the "highlights", it's better for you to go and watch it yourself. ^_^

Bet you dunno that there's an political interpretations of the Wizard of Oz. Hey, I also dunno until being told by my colleague, so it's perfectly normal not to know.

From what I can find on the website, the story seems to be mocking at the political, economic and social events of American in the 1980s, and not just a simple fairy tale that we read when we were still kids. And the characters in the story are linked to the politicians, citizens then.  Read more in the following links:

Interesting huh?
