Wicked - Anyone seen it?

[wegs the wegs]

The girl that I'm seeing has a couple of the songs from the show downloaded onto her itunes and rants and raves about how good the songs are whenever she sees one of the commercials. Her birthday is coming up this week and all signs point to tickets for the show would be the best way to please.

The problem is that I'm not a musical guy. Has anyone seen this show? Is Wicked entertaining enough to get through it for the evening? Thoughts?
