Musicals have been a major part of my life. I grew up watching musicals. As a teen, I used to listen to soundtracks to musicals just as much as any other singer or band I liked. As an adult, I had to let go of my passion for musicals due to adult obligations. Yet, I still try to keep up to date with what musicals are currently playing on Broadway.
One of the musical soundtracks I enjoyed listening to as a teen was Wicked. I loved Glinda, but I always felt like my life was more like Elphaba. Because of my love for both characters, I always have a hard time picking the kind of merchandise I like more.
In November, part 1 of the movie version of Wicked will be released. I really enjoy looking at the merchandise inspired by the movie and deciding which ones I like the most. One of the most fun items I found was the mini backpacks inspired by the movie.
