Have you either read the book "Wicked" or seen the play? Did you like it or them?

I saw a documentary about four different Broadway musicals and the adaptations each goes through to in order to try to be successful. One of the musicals was Wicked, and they talked about how the play is a big hit with girls because it talks about popularity, which is a big issue for adolescents.

I have a daughter who is 3 now, so popularity is not yet a topic we deal with, but it might be one day. This weekend in Barnes and Noble i bought the “Wicked Pop-up Compendium” or something like that. it’s a fun book all about Wicked. I figured i’d buy that now, and when we (hopefully) eventually see the play in a few years, when she’s old enough, we’ll have this book to look at.

Have you read the book Wicked? Have you seen the play? I mean any version, your high school or local community theater, the big Broadway version, whatever. What did you think?
