disappointed
by Out of town old guy on 11/27/24Paramount Theatre - SeattleRating: 3 out of 5I really didn't know anything about Wicked before I went. I had no idea it had such a following with young girls. There was a lot of screaming.....Also, the music played much too loud - it was very difficult to make out any dialogue through most of the performance. I also hadn't realized until about a third of the way through that there were 'subtitles' on a small screen to the lower right of the stage. Sitting in the 2nd mezzanine, I used binoculars to 'watch' the subtitles, only briefly being able to switch back to watching the performances. The costuming was excellent. For the amount of money we pay for these events, it was definitely not worth it - I won't be going back to anything similar to this in the future.
