I'm so excited! Wicked is coming to London!It is set in the Emerald City before the arrival of Dorothy and Toto. Wicked tells how the good witch Glinda first met Elphaba, the green-skinned Wicked Witch of the West! And it's a musical! I'm so excited, I could shit!
Who will they get to play Dorothy? If the person is not already a gay icon, will they become one?
Finally, I'll be able to hear the word "wicked" without taking on its street talk connotation. Wicked does not mean good. It means:
- Evil by nature and in practice: “this wicked man Hitler, the repository and embodiment of many forms of soul-destroying hatred” (Winston S. Churchill).
- Playfully malicious or mischievous: a wicked prank; a critic's wicked wit.
- Severe and distressing: a wicked cough; a wicked gash; wicked driving conditions.
- Highly offensive; obnoxious: a wicked stench.

In some parts of the US, the word wicked is used as a replacement for really, i.e. it was wicked dark down there!
I'm so jealous you're going to see Wicked. I hear it's fantastic.
Come with me! Flights to the UK are dirt cheap right now!
Does Dorothy actually appear in Wicked?
I don't know if she's in the musical or not. She does appear in the book -- Check it out if you haven't: Wicked by Gregory McGuire.
Great read.
Will do, thanks!
