Engine Summer

I did finish Wicked, but I didn't like it in the end. This is mainly because, at the points where it converges with the Wizard of Oz plotline, it requires WoO to be not just determined by a particular point of view, but deliberately false at the level of propaganda. It thus fails to be a different perspective on the same events, at which point it's very difficult to evaluate, because it can't really be considered without reference to WoO, but the reference doesn't hold very well.

fiddledragon says that the musical is wonderful, except for the last five minutes.
