Of course I enjoyed Wicked Part 2 but "I ask forgiveness for the things I've done you blame me for" may be the worst apology I've ever heard

Back in 2003, I saw this listing in the Bay Area Reporter and figured why the hell not, let's see if this is any good, and that's how we wound up seeing the tryout of Wicked from the nosebleed seats for $30. (I thought it was just ok! Second act needed work.)

A charming little detail in this 2004 documentary about the making of Wicked on Broadway: Writer Winnie Holzman is knitting what appears to be an emerald-green scarf in her interviews.

Update: It was, in fact, 1988.
