Wicked: Just see it

PEORIA -- The Broadway musical Wicked is now playing at the Peoria Civic Center Theater. It's terrrrific!

It's an all Actors Equity (union) cast and production, and it shows. Every actor is extremely skilled, the production itself takes the breath away, the songs are easy to hear and grasp, and the language of the play is very, very clever. 

This is an A plus production and event, one of the best I've seen on the Civic Center's Broadway series. It's also suitable for children. (No nudity, swearing or skimpy costumes.)

I saw Wicked a few years ago in Chicago. It was fine there, but this production is even better.  Don't miss it in Peoria.
