The Wiz

Okay, due to an attack of The Dumb(tm), I have entirely mixed up The Wiz and Wicked in my head. I believe this needs to be fixed by going to Broadway and watching a production of The Wiz.

Who wants to go with me'?

Might hafta be off broadway, but sure. Or we could see Wicked too, cause that's also not bad. You know for musicals which are, you know, dorky.

We should do it on a weekend and stay overnight in the city. It'll be huge fun.

Musicals are dorky?

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Pretty much, yeah.

[x-aerial.livejournal.com]

What causes them to fall into this category?

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

They're just dorky by nature. I mean, like, nothing wrong with that, I can't judge, I totally bust out Bon Jovi in the car and he's old.

I assume you mean 'old' as in 'of an age that seems old in comparison to my current age but is not actually old, something I will realize when I reach that age'? Also, what do 'dorky' and 'old' have to do with one another?

I still do not believe that all musicals are 'dorky'. All musicals are not the same and one should not be judged based on a different musical.

Old as in "Yeah, he could have like, gone to school with my folks or something."

It's just dorky to sing along in the car to old people music and anything with sung dialog is at least partially kinda dorky.

I am dorky, then, by your definition.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Dude, I am dorky by my own definition.

Actually, if you did not have your heart set on Broadway (or even off-Broadway), there is an all-mutant cast that is putting on a production of The Wiz in District X. I believe the opening is next weekend, in fact.

Ugh. I think I'd rather stab myself in the face with a fork. And then straighten the fork out and stab myself again.

I once, many years ago, had to sit through the first all-white production of the Wiz c/- Sydney Grammar School's year 9 drama class. There is no power on this earth that can induce me to do that again.
