看百老汇的歌剧是一直以来的喜好，在美国能看到真正的百老汇歌剧是太大的享受。

 

和阳爸从认识开始我们就一起去看，一场一场的看，每回都久久地沉浸在剧情中。好朋友中一对年轻的小夫妻和我们有相同的爱好，我们相约共同买了季票，每年有半年时间的娱乐是在剧院度过。那是生阳阳之前，在演出开始前我们聚在一起，几乎把剧院附近的餐馆吃了个遍。最喜欢看的是《Les Miserables》(《悲惨世界》)，和《Aida》，这两部剧无论是剧情还是演员都无可挑剔。音乐配的美极了，演员的歌声如天籁般生动。看了很多遍，还是意犹未尽。其他的剧也相当的不错，如《Mamma Mia》，《Kiss me Kate》，《Producers》，《Beauty and the Beast》，《The Exhonerated》，《Moving out》，《Triple Espresso》，《Lion King》......等等。记得《Lion King》是在生阳阳前的两个星期看的。当时想如果阳阳能真正地坐在我的边上一起观看那多好。

 

这部《Wicked》是根据小说《The Wizard of Oz》改编的。这是一部著名的幻想小说。故事情节我摘录网上的介绍吧，也许更精确，更好地告诉你。

 

今天离家去看歌剧之前给阳阳说，爸爸妈妈要出门一会，离开时他还是哭的利害，追着车让妈妈带上他。不得已，我们开车没敢回头，一路心情沉重。中场休息，我的泪止不住地往外流，阳爸问：“怎么了？”，想阳阳，不知他晚饭吃了没？睡前奶喝了没？唉，跑出去打电话，阳阳很好，吃了比萨饼，睡了。心里觉得怪怪的，和阳爸似乎再也无法回到无忧无虑的到二人世界。回到家，冲进阳阳的房间，他睡得很香。端详着他，就像一个世纪没有见面。

 

Long before Dorothy drops in, two girls meet in the land of Oz. One, born with emerald-green skin, is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. Wicked tells the story of how these two unlikely friends grew to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch.

This fantasy-filled musical was the winner of three 2004 Tony Awards including prizes for Best Costume Design and Best Scenic Design. From real flying monkeys to a trip to the Emerald City and a soaring, modern score by Stephen Schwartz, Wicked is a true spectacle for the eyes and ears.

The twists and turns in Gregory Maguire's incredibly imaginative back-story to The Wizard of Oz makes audiences literally gasp with delight. But not only that, Wicked is a truly heartfelt story of friendship and love. As Richard Zoglin of Time Magazine put it, "If every musical had a brain, a heart and the courage of Wicked, Broadway really would be a magical place!"
