I unexpectedly had a chance to see WICKED on Broadway this past week and it set me to thinking about a lot of writing-related things.
~ the delightful cleverness of lines that play to our memory of The Wizard of Oz.
~ the brilliance of the story line that completely changes our minds about The Wicked Witch of the West
~ the appeal of the underdog in stories
~ how everything comes together in the end (and the power of the surprise ending).
Something else made me think of writing too - When Glinda and Elpheba sang For Good, I couldn't help but thing how the lines apply to the friends we share in this writing community.
So sing along - and if you have the chance, thank a writer friend today.
I saw Wicked last year. Yes - to everything you said.
ReplyDeleteI've heard so much about this story. I hope they make it a movie since I'll never get to Broadway...at least not for a few years. ;-) Hope I'm going to see you at ACFW!
ReplyDeleteYes I loved that musical! Very well done indeed. Yes to all you said.
