The musical strips away a lot of the political undertones, but keeps the main idea, which is the question of what exactly does it mean to be wicked.
Meh. Not really. It hits the audience with the message like a bludgeon. I can appreciate it for what it is (and the theater folks who present this show have been top shelf in my 2 experiences), but let's not pretend the musical isn't "all in" against white supremacy/racism, classism and the patriarchy.

I'm as sick of the anti-white, anti-patriarchy garbage as anyone, but I've seen the show 3 times and never felt like I was being lectured to. Now, the book is another story. That said, the musical debuted over 20 years ago. Long before most of this race-baiting shite began.
