Wicked IS my favorite musical. Excuse me for liking “mainstream” musicals - I’ve been a thespian since I was fourteen, and I love musical theatre. 

Yeah, can we all stop acting like elitist bitches just because some people like Wicked and it’s a mainstream musical? Of course it has its problems, but what about liking it means you can’t appreciate musical theater? I am so sick of this fucking argument.

Rant time!

Sweet Jesus, I am SICK of this. What makes whoever made this think that they are better than anyone who likes Wicked simply because it’s a popular musical? I sorry, I seem to have not gotten the memo that said the more popular a musical becomes, the less of a piece of musical theatre it is.

Without this musical, I wouldn’t be who I am today. I am being serious here, I’d still be some sad little person, not knowing what to do with her life. I now know that I want to perform, whether that be musicals or voice acting or whatever else.

So, any elitist bitches who agree with this, can stop following me right now. Or, if you decide to stay, I’d love to discuss Elisabeth with you. Or maybe Rebecca. How about Marie Anntoinette? Or Eternity? Oh, you don’t know what they are? Call yourself a theatre fan. See, not very nice is it?

Just because I like Wicked and I like Rent does make me any less of a musical theatre fan. I like, love even, many others, but Wicked was the gateway to musical theatre for me. And it was for many others. I’m sorry if we don’t all share the same tastes as you.

I hate how this also implies that Wicked is easy. That it’s not a hard piece of theatre to perform. Well, excuse me, but I’d like to see you belt an F. It’s a damn hard show to perform and some of the most talented people I know of have been in it. 

I’ve found so many performers through this show that I wouldn’t have found otherwise. Willemijn Verkaik, Stephanie J Block, Kerry Ellis, Megan Hilty, Jana Stelley, Lucy Scherer. It introduced me to German/Austrian musical theatre, which lead to even more amazing performers: Pia Douwes, Maya Hakvoort, Susan Rigvava-Dumas. 

So don’t you dare say that I am any less of a musical theatre enthusiast just because of my favourite show happening to be popular. And this applies anywhere. Just because someone likes a popular show does not mean that it all they like. 

Urgh, great start to my morning, ranting and being incredibly angry.
