What about "Ozians"? ;_) But "Shiznits" is verrry good

Having lots of mates from Australia, I use the term Ozian alot.

now...are we talking about all wicked fans in general, no matter what "level" fan they are?...or just the crazed ones who think all other musicals are crap?

There are some of us that think Wicked is the best musical we've seen, but that doesn't mean that we don't like any others nor does it mean that it's the best ever...
Depends on what you mean by crazed. I've seen it three times (only once was while I was in NYC). For the third time, I made a trip just to see it, and I have tickets to see it a fourth time on 8/15 (going up to see Seth Bisen-Hersh's show in the FRINGE), and then going to see Idina's last performance. Does that make me crazed? I don't know. I only went to the stage door once, and I think doing that makes no sense. I won't dress up like Glinda or Elphaba (probably wouldn't even if I were a girl). I go and I enjoy it, I cry a little, and I think about what it says about society. I pretty much only listen to the Wicked CD in my car, but on occassion I do listen to other things. I know more about Wicked than most things I'm not specifically trained to know. Again, you tell me. But, in my "defense," I am a music teacher (voice), and musical theatre is a passion of mine.
I think what many of us mean by the term "crazed" is all the tween girls who arejust squeeling with delight, like this is the first musical ever to grace the planet.
