The good, the bad and the ugly

Haven’t caught “Wicked”? Entertained by the high-concept potential of “Ugly Betty” meets the crew from Oz? The yellow brick road winds through the Pantages and into prime time Nov. 1 when a plot twist brings Betty to the show (which, in real life, is conveniently playing just down the street from the “Betty” soundstages). It’s not a front-row seat for the Glinda-Elphaba chronicles -- but the price is right.
