Dutch Musical Wicked review

Dear readers,

On Saturday the 14th of July I went to the musical Wicked with my parents. I had really been looking forward to this show as I had some raving reviews on the West End version. Needless to say, the Dutch version would undoubtedly be a little different, but usually the Dutch adaptations are very good as well.

When you enter the room you are confronted with the following decor:

(sorry for the bad quality: I took this picture with my phone)

I really thought it was highly impressive and it immediately grabs your attention. The rest of the decor that is used during the show is subtle without too many embellishments.  

The plot of the musical relates the story on how the girl Elphaba became the Wicked Witch of the West. I really do not want to give anything away on the plot, because it is very well thought out and because I think people will be able to enjoy the show more if they do not know the entire story. Just prepare yourself for a few very interesting twists! :D Though I would strongly advice against taking children under 9 years old to this musical, as some parts are rather frightening.
