I was so inspired by Elphaba that I put a bumper sticker on my car that says, "Don't Make me get out my flying monkeys!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198853951847315100.post-42396032513828368192010-10-13T23:19:22.916-04:002010-10-13T23:19:22.916-04:00I abosolutely love The Worst Witch!

Someday I will find it on dvd, and then I will torture my children with it every year! Oh and I honestly adore Pratchett's portrayal of the witches in his series. I truly like the way he treats it in the Tiffany Aching series =)<br />I saw Wicked when it came out to LA. I can say I actually liked the musical better than the book, but maybe that's because of the ending =).The Travelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07571659015292953033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198853951847315100.post-88678617473105072422010-10-13T21:36:45.196-04:002010-10-13T21:36:45.196-04:00I love it!

No need to scold me though, I've already been told off enough by many a disgusted friend :) Particularly the one who was performing in the a production of the show not so long ago which I never got round to attending. I'm a bad friend :( <br />Anyway, I really must read the book. It sounds like Gregory McGuire did for the WWOTW what Marion Zimmer Bradley did for Morgan le Fay.Róisínhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17221357100369170369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198853951847315100.post-18651229198457379262010-10-13T19:22:04.212-04:002010-10-13T19:22:04.212-04:00I commend you on your choice for your inspiration....I commend you on your choice for your inspiration.

I haven't read or seen "Wicked" yet, but I think I'm going to purchase it for a Samhain treat. Did you read "Son of a Witch" and if so, was it good? I really enjoyed this and always liked the Wicked one's ;)Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05078434289667660306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198853951847315100.post-5879007037416117492010-10-13T14:42:17.927-04:002010-10-13T14:42:17.927-04:00I've never read Wicked or seen the Musical, bu...I've never read Wicked or seen the Musical, but it is awesome to see certain characters you though were "bad" brought to a new light.

To be honest this makes you a far more interesting person than all those sheep outthere who think what society wants them to think!
