OGDENSBURG, NY—Praising its vibrant visual effects and declaring multiple songs “absolute showstoppers,” local aunt Treena Warner, 53, informed extended family members for the ninth consecutive year that the Broadway musical Wicked is truly magical, sources confirmed Thursday. “The ticket prices are a little high, but I promise you it’s worth every single penny,” said Warner, voicing the assertion she’s made every year since viewing the play in 2005 that you don’t have to be into musicals to enjoy the show. “The costumes, the sets, the music—everything’s gorgeous. The standing ovation probably went on for 10 minutes. I’d see it again in a heartbeat.” At press time, Warner was telling relatives that if they saw Wicked in New York, they should have dinner at this nice steakhouse whose name was escaping her at the moment, noting that the food there was to die for and that it was really close to the theater, too.
