(Finished December 14th, 2024) Is "Wicked" On Stage Worthy of My Hard Earned Money?

Hello,

I'm thinking of going and seeing the Broadway play "Wicked" with my son. But the tickets are hella expensive. I know watching videos will never match the live experience but that's all I have. 

1) Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth "Popular":


2) Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth "Defying Gravity":


3) Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande 'What Is This The Feeling":


4) Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande "Defying Gravity":


5) When I first heard this song a few weeks ago I thought it was an amazing original by Mat and Savannah Shaw. It wasn't until awhile later that I realized it was from "Wicked". I really like the Shaw's version:


6) Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande "Popular":


7) Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande "No One Mourns The Wicked":


8) The Cast of Wicked "One Short Day":


9) NPR's "Wicked" Tiny Desk Concert featuring Stephen Schwartz, Alyssa Fox and McKenzie Kurtz:


10) The "Wicked" Original Broadway Cast "Dancing Through Life":


11) Stephanie Hsu's "I'm Not That Girl":


12) McKenzie Kurtz "No One Mourns The Wicked":


13) Ariana Grande "The Wizard and I";


14) Concordia Chamber Choir "Dear Old Shiz":


15) Andy Hockley "A Sentimental Man":


16) Brian May and Kerry Ellis "Defying Gravity":


17) Megan Hilty "Thank Goodness":


I think this is a perfectly fine musical, but I would still put it in the second tier of musicals. It does have some great songs and I think it would be fun to take my son to the theatre for a "Wicked" good time. See what I did there!!
