I agree with the posts above who said it isn't childish. While 'The Wizard of Oz' is a child's book, the book of Wicked is the book is a dark political satire. The whole plot of both book and musical is that the wizard is supressing the ability of speech of the Animals - a large portion of the population - and Elphaba fights against authority and thus gets unfairly portrayed as wicked. Not normal childhood reading.

I thought this production was very good, and a big Well Done to everyone involved
