Has anyone seen it?
It is absolutely 'Oz'-some. Provides a nice backstory to 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz' through song! Yay! Technically, this isn't a TV show, movie or anime. It's a Broadway Theatre musical. So yeah.

Anyone modding this post, I have not been hacked, I'm proxying

Yeah your avi/sig caught my interest

How was it ? Although I know so little about it, looks like it would be fun to watch.

Seeing that it was my first theatre experience, it is hard to say, since I don't have any other theatre productions to compare it with.

But, it was absolutely super-fantabulous. It provided a very clever backstory to The Wonderful of Oz, and used both the elements from the movie and the novel. It is, more say, a love story rather than an adventure or actiony one, but it disguises it well and the love elements are really obvious except near the end.
I really, really, really, love the songs in it, then again, it's a musical so the songs really should be good. If you really want to hear the songs, there are some songs (full version yay!) on the website. I can't be bothered going to the US site, so here's the songs on the Aus website (they will be the same, since these are from the Broadway recording from the Soundtrack (FYI, the songs may sound different when you actually watch it due to actor changes etc) The costumes, are super-fantabulous too, as are the sets.

I like Glinda's bubble, it was funny watching them discretely hide that she needed to be strapped into it, and then unhooked when she needed to get off. The dragon was really nice, too bad it didn't come into the musical much, just during those suspensful scenes.

Yeah, that did suck. I found that funny too.

I liked the end of Defying Gravity where Elphaba is flying.

I found the ending so sad, especially as it was through song. =( "And now whatever way our stories end, I know you've re-written mine by being my friend"
So sad =(
