As you all know, on February 25, 2009, Mrs. Triplo and some of her drama students and teachers, traveled to New York City to go see the hit Broadway play, Wicked. The play was probably one of the best that I have seen, and the singing was better than some of the good singers that aren't in Broadway. The main character, Elphaba, or better known as The Wicked Witch of the West, was played by Nichole Parker, who has a very powerful voice for such a small woman. She did such a phenomenal job as Elphaba, she sang well, and her acting was really good. I absolutely fell in love with the play, so much that I wanted to read the actual book! So when I finally got the chance, which was last week, I talked my mother into buying it for me and I was so stoked to read it. However, when I started the first few pages of the book, I noticed that the play was extremely different from the book. In the play, the townspeople opened up the story and Glinda the Good had told the story of Elphaba's life, but in the book, it started out with Dorothy and the others sitting in a field talking about the witch. At first I was a little confused but I adjusted and kept reading, and the further I got into it, the more I noticed that this book was awesome! The mother who didn't have a name in the play, was Melena in the book, and she was a HOE! I mean, she was a really big hoe, seriously, it was pretty bad. She didn't know how Elphaba became green because she was always passed out from eating these leaves that drugs people. She didn't know if she had cheated on her husband, or if she was raped by elves or some passerby, she didn't even know if Frexspar, her husband and Elphaba's dad, was the father! And then, some stranger came by, a year after Elphaba was born, and his name was Turtle Heart from the Quadling Country, and he became the lover of Melena, even though he was living under her husband's roof! Frex, the husband, didn't even know that his wife was cheating on him, he thought that her "glowing face" was because she was happy. Which she was by-the-way, but for different reasons. Haha! But anyway, the book is really crazy and I can't wait to get back to it, because now I'm on the part where Galinda, before she became Glinda, was on her way to Shiz University. So, yeah, if you're planning on reading the book, after you see the play, you'll be entering a world of adultery, drugs, and the ever mature content..Sex.
