Since he doesn't watch tv or read, I'm not sure how Hotass discovered Wicked. And one of our recent therapy sessions happened to coincide with his purchase of the soundtrack. Lately, we've had a couple of mutual counseling sessions to help each other figure out life, but the latest one turned into a dissection of the story of Elphaba (aka The Wicked Witch of the West) and Galinda (alias: Glinda the Good Witch).
I read the book and hated it, and because of that, I couldn't understand how the musical could be the least bit entertaining.
So instead of trying to psychoanalyze each other last Thursday, Hotass replaced the video card in his computer, and we listened to Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel.
And I hate to admit that I can't get these fucking songs out of my head. I've downloaded (and that's downloaded legally in case you're wondering) "Popular," "For Good," and "I'm Not that Girl," and they've been in heavy rotation lately.
And it's gotten so bad that instead of driving down Poplar Avenue, I'm now driving down Pop-YooHoo-Lar.

Well I have to admit that I have not read the book yet, but I have seen the Broadway show TWICE. It is AMAZING.
I have turned at least 4 people on to the soundtrack to the musical as well.
If you get the oppurtunity, go up to Chicago to see "Wicked."
Those are some hot witches.
