Happy Wicked Day!!!

Yes today is the 5th year anniversary of Wicked!!!!!! 5 years of one of the greatest musicals on broadway is on the great white way for 5 years. That means fricken Idina Menzel and Kirstin Chenoweth(Aka chenzel aka the original Elphie and Glinda) were performing the first performance in NYC. What I'd give to see that show. Man, It would of been awesome! So for those wondering: Who is Chenzel? What is Wicked? Who is Kirstin and Idina? Why should I care? Well I'll answer the questions in order.

Who is Chenzel?
Chenzel is the awesome duo of the original Glinda and Elphaba, Kirstin CHEnoweth and Idina MeNZEL. So you add part of their last names and there you go, you have Chenzel=D I love them so much. They are both my favorite Elphie and Glinda and they are both awesome singers which is why I love them. 

What is Wicked?
If you don't know what Wicked is, wake up it's the 20th century(I'm Kidding!!!). Ok so Wicked is based of a book by Gregory Maguire. The plot is long so you can go this site to find out what it's about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wicked_(musical)

Who are Kirstin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel?
Kirstin Bio:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristin_Chenoweth
Idina Bio: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idina_Menzel

Why Should you care?
Well because it's an awesome musical and I can relate to the character Elphaba but anyways the songs and the musical itself is awesome so I do recomend for you to see it. 

OK that's it I assume. I leave you with this picture of the Original Broadway Cast(OBC): 
From Left to Right: Carole Shelly as Madame Mortible, Kirstin Chenoweth as G(a)linda Upland, Joel Grey as the Wizard, Idina Menzel as Elphaba Thropp, and Norbert Leo Butz as Fiyero Tiggular.

No One Mourns the Wicked!!!

-Hail
