Denise and I saw "Wicked" tonight at the Aronoff. Decent, but hardly the best musical I've ever seen. The first act ended powerfully, both musically and with the staging -- Jessica Vosk as Elphaba has an exceptional and killer voice. But I was disappointed by the second act; not by the acting or staging, but by the book. The finale devolves into sappy nonsense and is utterly predictable, the music in the second act is nowhere near as powerful as some of the songs in the first act, and the ending was... bleh.
I'm glad I saw the play, but it's not one I'm dying to see again.
