I am actually banned from watching the movie. My parents, brother, and friends all say so.

On a different note, I know my friends in my school play like the show. Our director wasn't feeling well at practice yesterday, and told us if she didn't show up on Monday, she was dead. My friend Emily told us to start brushing up on 'No One Mourns The Wicked' and anyone who knew the song started singing. (Over half the cast, myself included )

Short obbsession story(Sorry for spelling errors):
My friend Megan, who I love dearly for getting me hooked on Wicked, and I recently watched the Wizard of Oz in our Music class since we are doing mini-musicals. (We're in Little Shop of Horrors, but the entire class has to watch the movies.) We didn't wanna watch it because we hate Dorothy for killing Nessa. When the scarecrow showed up, we said "Fiyero!" And then we said how Idena Menzel and all the other Elphabas were prettier than the Witch in the Wizard of Oz. So basically, we kept comparing the Wizard of Oz to Wicked and drove some people insane.
Basically: We are slaves to Wicked. YEAH!!! Sorry, bored and wanted to say this. This is like, my third time posting here, isn't it? Lol.

[happyguava]

You really want to get a beanie like Elphie wears in the Shiz scenes. I saw someone wearing a pink one!! You must be able to get them somewhere... grrr...

-When your English teacher knows that the title of your research paper is probably going to be "Are People Really Born Wicked."
-Every time you see a goat you say, "There's a goat on the lam," and then bust out in uncontrollable laughter.
-If you've ever jumped on a desk in the middle of class and proceeded to sing "So if you care to find me, look to the Western sky...!"

Yes, I have done all of these.

[lovesingin]

[sinsofpast]

- You recite the entire script to your friend over Msn by voice clips... include you singing the karaoke versions of the song giving each character a different accent... Then you save all the voice clips just so you can hear your jamaican madame morrible...

- All your friends and family have wicked songs in their head and sing them as much as you despite never seeing the musical or listning to any of the music because you sing it so much.

[wicked_boy]

My sister hasn't a clue what Wicked is and can sing Defying Gravity really good from listening to me singing it randomly.

[Dancediva19]

[SapphireNight]

I use MSN Messenger alot. Once, when one of my friends went offline, and I kept the conversation up, waiting for them to come back online, I was very bored. I started typing out the lines (minus sung lines) from the opening, just watching the immediate red message saying "no need to respond, that was rhetorical message could not be delivered to all recipiants" etc.
I got quite well into the first act before she came online and realised what I was doing.

You know your obsessed with wicked when....

You're in a very crowded shoe shop and you see a pair of shoes. As soon as you see them you yell out "There's Nessa's shoes! Theres Nessarose's shoes!" loud enough so the whole shop can see you. Then when people give you a weird look you say "You know, Nessarose, the Wicked Witch of the East? The dead woman Dorothy stole the ruby slippers off?" then you notice that people are still looking at you strangly, you yell out "Am I the only one who knows the story of Wicked?" You're then pushed out of the shop by your very embaressed friends.

That happend to me today. My poor firends. Plus i was bared from the shop when I went back into the store and tried to convince the shop attended that she should not be selling the shoes of a dead woman. Opps
