Danna Paola made her spectacular debut in the Mexican version of Broadway musical, "Wicked." About 1,400 spectators saw Paola make her debut in this spectacle that lasted about two hours and a half at the Teatro Telcel in Mexico City, according to Quién.

Danna plays Elphaba, the evil witch of the west who belted out songs like "Defying Gravity" and "No Good Deed." Joining the former "Atrevete a Soñar" star on-stage were Cecilia de la Cueva in the role of Glinda and Jorge Lau as Fiyero. Morris Gilbert is the producer of the play adaptation that left the audience very pleased after speculation that Paola was not going to live up to the role and expectations.

"Wicked" is a musical based on the 1995 Gregory Maguire novel, "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West," a complimentary novel to L. Frank Baum's classic, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz." The original music and lyrics were composed by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Winnie Holzman.
