The Advocate @theadvocatemag Take a Wicked journey to Oz tonight! advocate.com/television/2018/10/29/something-wicked-and-queer-way-comes?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=television … Something Wicked (And Queer) This Way ComesThe hit Broadway smash Wicked has captivated millions of theatergoers since premiering at the Gershwin Theatre in 2003, breaking the house record 24 times during its run while grossing $1.8 million a week — not to mention successful national and international tours, including a residency at the Apollo Victoria Theatre in London’s West End. Tonight, to celebrate its 15th anniversary, NBC will be airing A Very Wicked Halloween: Celebrating 15 Years on Broadway, with performances by its original stars, Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth, as well as familiar faces like Adam Lambert, Pentantonix, Ledisi, and Ariana Grande. ... Before wowing audiences and shooting to stardom on the eighth season of American Idol, Lambert was cast in the first national touring production of Wicked. A wide-eyed young performer, he remembers it being the “most impressive job that I'd ever gotten” at the time. “We opened in Toronto, and I was in that production for about six months, and I left because I wanted to go try to be a rock star — and I ran out of money in about five months.” A couple years later, Wicked saved him yet again when he was cast in the Los Angeles company at the Pantages Theater. The job “definitely paid the bills,” he quips. “I was broke before Wicked," adding that he thinks the show has lasted 15 years because of its themes. “I think the idea of you can't judge a book by its cover, I think that's something that's very universal. I think that it reminds people to really question what's good and what's bad.” He adds, “Some of the overarching themes of witch hunts, and blame, and especially in the political climate we're in right now, it's interesting. It's very relevant and timeless all at the same time.”

What a talented writer. The Bela Lugosi line made me laugh out loud. And he mentions Adam!! (Without knowing who the "bearded truck driver" actually is, obviously.

What a pompous ass throughout the review, he did notice Adam though wonder if he knows ...”The character’s carnal wants, by all accounts prodigious, are reduced to the pinching of a waiter’s backside, plus the laughable glance that Freddie receives from a bearded American truck driver at a gas station as he enters the bathroom.”
