Wicked!

Ever since I was a kid & until today, I still love watching musical shows. Mary Poppins, King and I & Sound of Music were my favourites when I was young & they still are. I've been to a few West End shows in M'sia like Saturday Night Fever, Stomp, Mama Mia & many more. However, the best West End show I ever seen was 'WICKED'! I saw it in London during my studies there.

The entire story is totally twisted/different from the original Wizard of Oz. OMG, I really have to say that the story was simply amazing & beautiful especially the friendship between the 2 witches, Elphaba & Glinda. I love the all the songs from Wicked. There are 2 songs that really inspired me: Defying Gravity & For Good.

So after I came back from London, I really wanted to CG an image of the 2 of them. Because of these two witches, it made me realized how important it is to have good friends whom you can trust & I learned to appreciate my friends more than ever.

I also did a few CG comic strips of my favourite scenes during the act. Haha! It shows how much I really into this musical. ^^

The words above are taken directly from the song, "What Is This Feeling?"

LOL! Some random lame jokes I made up for my fav scenes...

This musical has inspired me soo much that I even proposed using 'Defying Gravity' as the title for my class (BPD8) Graduation Showcase 2008. You check out our exhibition blog here: www.defyinggravity2008.blogspot.com.

I would really recommend for everyone to watch this musical when you have the chance. You won't regret it!
