Review: Wicked

Talent to the power of two

A bit of a scary thought: if this Broadway musical had a less dazzling couple than Maria Ylipää and Anna-Maija Tuokko in the lead roles, what would be left…
Quite a lot of good things after all. The whole thing is technically and artistically so rewarding, even funny (!), that the grumbling about the lameness of the story sounds like sophistication. Hello, it’s a question of a magical world – and a soul mate, which even stutterers should join with their jackets open.
