San Francisco Bay Area Shows

Wicked is currently playing at the Orpheum Theatre in San Francisco, California. My wife and I saw the show and this is our review.  We thought that the show started out a bit slowly.  It just ended up that the first half of an hour was building up the characters and the story.  It was an important part of the show as although it was not spectacular yet, it was beginning to be interesting.  As the show continued it started to get more and more exciting.  It became interesting how well the story was weaved in with that of the movie The Wizard of Oz.  In fact by the time the intermission was over, things really got going.  The second half of this show was spectacular.  The music reached a new level, the dancing was fun, and the special effects were impressive.  There were moments that gave both of us goosebumps as the combination of costume, effects, lighting, and music all came together for terrific moments.  This is a show one can see once or 10 times.  You can see it alone, on a date, or with the group.  It has action, it has drama, and it has comedy!  Before the show wicked leaves San Francisco, make sure to get your ticket as soon as you can.  Enjoy.
