My aunt invited me to go with her and my cousin to see "Wicked" at the Pantages Theater. This theater is an old Hollywood movie palace and it is incredible!! The art deco details have been renovated to sublime perfection. That was the best part of the evening. Yeah, Wicked is lavish. Yeah, it's impressive to look at. Yeah, the singers are incredibly good. But....the songs were boring and all sounded the same, the volume was earsplitting (I had to stuff napkin pieces in my ears), and the story is downright stupid. But if people are enjoying it, I say, let them.
