I guess I know the answer to that already....See a cheap nothing version at the park or go to the theater and pay bucks for what the story really is....Not to sound bitchy but TDL, Wicked is a show you need to see...I really think you would like it....I think you are getting a chance somewhat in the near future in Tampa for a return engagement.....Better yet, read the book also...That really is where all of the fun relating to Wicked is...To see this show at a theme park and walk away pleased doesn't give you really any clue as to what the true story is.... I am just so sorry Disney missed out on the Wicked property rights thing...But you know, I really think they would have screwed it up...
Originally Posted By kennect Oh TDL, Sorry, you will just have to pardon me...One of your photo's relating to Wicked of the animated dragon above the stage...That is the Time Clock Dragon...I doubt that got metnioned in the show but maybe it did some where...In fact, the entire set is based around it...All of those gears are part of the clock....Catch if you can while it is back in Florida...You will love it....
