The famous musical Wicked had last night it´s premiere in Helsingin Kaupunginteatteri. And what did we experience? Three hours of total waste of sparkling talent, energy and green body paint.

Not like the couple sitting next to me: they moved themselves out from the theatre during the intermission and I don´t blame them.
