Saw Wicked for the first time in Hungary!
It was a magical experience to finally see the show live (I went on the 15th). All the performers are incredibly talented, Stéphanie Schlesser as Elphaba blew me away, especially with Defying Gravity.
What was a bit of a disappointment is that the production felt like they were trying to recreate the movie on stage instead of the actual musical. They also very clearly used AI for the propaganda posters against Elphie and the background, which left a bad taste in my mouth as I am heavily against AI. I don’t know whether they are going to change this when they start playing the show in theater in December, I really hope they will.
