The musical about wrong judgement, love, and true friendship, Wicked. I've wanted to see this musical since i was about 5. The tickets were always too much money and the one time i found cheap tickets for good seats and was able to go, Hurricane Sandy hit and flooded the tunnels to New York City. After waiting 8 years, you could imagine how devastated i was.

There is this one song that I've liked more than the rest. The one song that i think defines the whole musical, "For Good". Its a duet between Glinda and Elphaba. Glinda explains, its said that people come into your life to teach you a lesson, and she doesn't know if this is true, but she does know Elphaba is the reason she is who she is today. Elphaba then comes in. She says, they may never see each other again, but before she leaves, she needs to tell Glinda something. She says everything that she has become, is from what she learned from Glinda. She knows that their story, their friendship, is going to end, but she will never forget what Glinda did for her and how Glinda was her friend when nobody else was. Elphaba explains that she knows that Glinda has blamed her for a lot, but she asks for forgiveness for everything she has been blamed for. Glinda says, there is a lot of blame to share and i have made my own mistakes. Both then say that it doesn't matter anymore. The last line, the most powerful line throughout the song, because i knew you, i have been changed for good. 

Hopefully after you listen to this song, it will remind you of someone...
