101 Reason to love
WICKED
It is an amazing book and an even better play
Who doesn't love the color green
Pink goes good with green
We all want to have Galinda's sparkling personality
Twist the Wizard of Oz to make more sense than the original story
Not all stories are fairy tales like Dorothy's
The message of acceptance is universal
It is exceedingly popular and you must get your tickets months in advance
If you type in Elphaba on google image search you get 10,500 pictures
Idina Menzel is the absolute without a doubt BEST singer in our universe and any universes yet to be discovered
A main theme is animal rights
The Wizard of Oz is a liar (the story)
The Wizard of Oz is a liar (the character)
It is a love story without being sappy about it
It is somewhat an adventure story for any guys who want to check into it
There is a wicked fan club on a site called recognizes the importance of friendship with different people
It portrays stereotypes and breaks every one of them!
The book has a dark twist to it
The songs beat out EVERY SINGLE SONG in the Wizard of Oz
It is about tolerance
Go to google and type in "The Wizard and I" in the videos to hear the greatest singer in the world Idina Menzel
You can buy the Grimmerie
The plot represents the idiots in today's society who will believe anything they hear
Dorothy stole her shoes off of Elphaba's crippled sister Nessa-Rose and how is that not evil?
Gregory Maguire is a complete and total genius
Ditto for Stephen Schwartz
Elphaba's transformation from nerdy school girl to defiant witch is incredible
Two words: Defy Gravity
Two more words: Wicked Wednesday
There's a Gershwin Theatre is the best theatre in the world
You can buy Wicked piano books, guitar books, and now flute books
The costumes are gorgeous
Elphaba has to go through about an hour a day to be greenified
Check out the Ozian Glossiarium
I have a Wicked word of the day
Today's word is discustingified
It is comic yet dramatic
The flying monkeys come from Elphaba being tricked into reading a levitation spell from a spell book (The grimmerie) and he grows wings
Galinda has an airhead song of the day
Christen Chenoweth was Sally in You're a Good Man Charlie Brown
My friend and I went as Galinda and Elphaba for Halloween
The Emerald City mocks animals by wearing them on all their clothing
Go back to google and after you watch The Wizard and I look at the related videos up top and click on Defying Gravity
If you don't cry when you see that you are heartless
It changes the way you look at Witches, the Wizard of Oz, and the word Wicked
They never actually change scenes in the play but move in the scenery with the dancers the whole act
If you don't watch the above videos "I will be loathing you my whole life long."
"Dear Galinda is just too good."
It takes a true master of words to take a mediocre story and make into the one of the best loved musicals of all time
It painstakingly beats out Phantom of the Opera (even in French I might add)
On a chalkboard at my high school someone wrote "No One Mourns the Wicked"
Madame Morrible can change the weather
Unlike Phantom of the Opera, and the Wizard of Oz, Wicked is too high class to become a movie

Christen Chenoweth has a high A
Shoshana Bean took over for Idina and was equally good
Julia Murney and Kendra Kassebaum are the Elphaba and Galinda I saw
Galinda's innocent snobbery is hysterically funny
Some days we all want to wake up and just show the world our green side
Green is such a complex color it fits Elphaba perfectly
Green represent life, jealousy, a combo of blue and yellow, vivacious personality
So many different shades of green
I have never met a single person who saw Wicked and had a negative comment
All my notebooks are covered in collages of Wicked photos and if that is not incredibly cooler than all of your notebooks I don't know what is
Idina Menzel was in Rent as Maureen
I was able to keep this list going this far
The term Wicked Witch is now horribly offensive
Would I be doing this if "black was this year's pink" in reality?

He is kept alive in the play but loses his powers of speech
There is a fine line between animals and Animals
In the book Nessa-Rose was born without arms
In the play, she is in a wheelchair
"People believe all sorts of lies, we call it history"
Underneath all the humor, it is criticizing the way our society bases so much on appearance

My friend and I made a DVD of us dressed up as the characters lip syncing to the songs
I was able to directly quote the show on multiple occasions throughout this list
Fiyero and Elphaba make the cutest couple in the world
That is true even after he becomes a scarecrow
Elphaba fakes her own death to get away from all the people who want to truly kill her
Dorothy really has no importance other than to cause anti-Elphaba feelings, and steal the shoes off tragically beautiful dead girls
Past her green skin Elphaba is actually really beautiful
Galinda can travel in a big bubble
Let's see you do that!
Boq (the munchkin later the tin-man) loves Galinda, but Nessa thinks he loves her, and Galinda loves Fiyero, and Fiyero supposedly loves Galinda, but is really in love with Elphaba
Elphaba and Galinda are both so talented it is amazing they stay friends
One act of kindness, can mean a lot
The sure-fire Elphaba face is really defined cheekbones
People in stores have copied the idea for how the Emerald City people dress to use in advertisements because it is just that good
The show is about finding your place and standing up for what is right and take what enemies come with your choices

She was in Enchanted as the guy's girlfriend
You can use eye makeup as a face paint to become greenified
Idina Menzel's has a new CD
There is an is predicted that Wicked will take over as the longest running musical of all time
You read this far so you must be somewhat interested
My RCA folder for creative writing has Wicked lyrics on the front along with pics of Elphaba and Galinda
I am including a pic I drew of Idina Menzel which unfortunately does not show off how truly beautiful she is
Please "Don't be offended by my frank analysis" because I am only trying to broaden your horizons
If you have not seen Wicked then your horizons definitely need broadening
Even adults fall in love with Wicked
I made a new friend on the airplane because she liked Wicked
Wear green or pink every Wednesday and help support Wicked Wednesday
Tell your friends: I am starting a revolution
I have a witches' broom
Do you have that luxury? I didn't think so?
Elphaba could mop the floor with every one of you
