Wicked

There is no place like home! Last night I had the opportunity to go with my mother, daughter and a couple of girlfriends to see an unbelievable performance of Wicked at the beautiful Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Downtown Fort Lauderdale, FL in Southeast Broward County.

I have always loved the theater, but the Broward Center, where we are season ticket holders, is such a spectacular venue to see any show that when you see a show of Wicked’s caliber it just takes your breath away.

From the valet service in front, to the opulent venue, to the show featuring magnificent costumes, choreography, song and a wicked tale, I was enthralled for the entire event.<!--break-->

The show featured two acts with a 15-minute intermission; as far as I was concerned it could have gone on forever. Katie Rose Clarke played Glinda and she was funny, vain, and goofy and had a bigger heart than she was even aware of with a voice that could make the angels cry.

Her counterpart, Carmen Cusack played the wicked witch Elphaba. How she was able to make the audience fall in love with a green wicked witch and nearly bring us to tears when Dorothy melted her with a pot of water was the testament to a truly gifted artist.

If you want to give yourself the gift of a truly spectacular evening, this is one you should not miss! The play runs from March 12 through April 6, 2008 and range in price from $50.50 to $153.50. For more information, visit www.browardcenter.org.
