I just saw Wicked yesterday, and I found it pretty enjoyable. It definitely wasn't amazing, but it was fun. There was one line that I didn't get, but everyone else in the theater died laughing at:
There's a goat on the lam, sir!
What does that mean? Any takers? Here's the script:

Meanwhile, "a goat on the lamb" would mean sexual intercourse.

"You rise," he said, "like Aurora."

Strad is correct. In the show, a goat was on the run. The line was, "There's a goat on the lam." Everyone interprets that comically, thinking that a goat is literally on top of the lamb. Lame joke, but always gets a chuckle. Just like the people who think "Jesus fking Christ!" is highhhlarious.

I'm happy to hear that you had a chance to laugh in the theater.

I wanted to see that show. If the opportunity arises I might go. I enjoy the soundtrack. The Book, as it turns out, it by far not the same story at all. Period. There are a few similarities, but that's where it stops, I was rather disappointed.

The book was kind of weak.
