"Wicked" was so wonderful that I am going again this weekend!
LOL. Well, I am definitely more Elphaba than Glinda the good witch, and one of my favorite lines from the show was when Elphaba is with Fiyero and after a sultry song confesses that for the first time she really feels "wicked"! I did, however, pick up a low-cut serving wench costume on clearance last year...

I saw it 2 weeks ago Saturday on Broadway and loved it as well! I am a fan of Edina Menzel but I think what was better about the live show with Donna Vivino was more emotion in the songs. I don't know if the recording was done in a studio but it wasn't nearly as expressive as the actor actually running around the stage and 'acting' in the plot. Very great show though!!!
I have only seen Menzel in various video clips and on the Tony awards (and I have the soundtrack), but I really thought Dwyer's voice was more lyrical for the solos. I would agree that I cannot imagine anyone topping Chenoweth individually or in duet with Menzel, though. Menzel and Chenoweth together is a wonderful sound! Wish I had been able to see them live...
