Wicked 1NT December 13, 2014
Pantages Theatre
ReviewThis was my fifth time seeing Wicked and it will definitely not be my last! When I got to the theater, the sign that shows the cast said that Emmy Raver-Lampan was going to be the standby Elphaba for Emma Hunton. I was slightly disappointed by that news, but not for long. Emmy rocked that performance and I would watch her as Elphaba any opportunity I get. This actually made me realize that I should not be upset about an understudy, or standby announcement. I should be happy. Not a lot of people get to see them perform, and those that do get to are blown away! Chandra Lee Schwartz was a phenomenal Glinda and everything I expected she would be! Nick Adams was a great Fiyero. He sang well, acted well, danced well, and was super hot in his Fiyero pants (which is always good)! The rest of the cast was also great. The set was amazing as always and everything looked and sounded spot on. I highly recommend seeing this show if you ever get the opportunity. It is one to remember.
