Wicked was wicked!
I got really lucky this weekend and part of my 19th birthday present was to see Wicked at the Canon Theater in Toronto with my mom, my sister, my godmother and my aunt. It was such a great night! I have never seen such an incredible musical before and I have seen quite a few. There are some really fantastic lines from the songs. Here are a few of them. I hope they make you laugh and make you think.
"Life's more painless for the brainless. Why think too hard, when it's so soothing?" Fiyero
"Those who don't try, never look foolish." Fiyero
"Don't lose sight of who you are." Elphaba
"I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game." Elphaba
"I'm through accepting limits, cause someone says they're so. Some things I cannot change, but 'til I try I'll never know. Too long I've been afraid of losing love I guess I have lost. Well, if that's love it comes at much too high a cost." Elphaba
"Everyone deserves the change to fly." Elphaba
"Cause getting your dreams, it's strange but it seems, a little, well, complicated. There's a kind of a sort of cost. There's a couple of things get lost. There are bridges you cross you didn't know you crossed until you've crossed . . ." Glinda
"Because happy is what happens when all your dreams come true. Isn't it?" Glinda
"A man's called a traitor, or liberator. A rich man's a thief or philanthropist. Is one a crusader, or ruthless invader? It's all in which label is able to persist." The Wizard
"We are led to those who help us most to grow if we let them and we help them in return." Glinda
I don't feel like copying out all of one of the songs, For Good, but it is truly fantastic and is best for good friends.
My favourite line, that reminds me of me in so many ways: "Just follow the one yellow road all the way there! I hope they get there all right. I'm so bad at giving directions!" Glinda
If you get a chance to see Wicked while it is in Toronto, I would suggest that. It may make you feel wicked!
