It was said that she had the ability to cast spells and curses on those who crossed her path. Locals would speak fearfully of her eerie laughter that could be heard late at night when the moon was full.

I was really disappointed with "The Wicked Witch San Antonio". The storyline was confusing and hard to follow, leaving me feeling lost and uninterested throughout the entire show. The acting was subpar, with the performers lacking emotion and chemistry with each other. The set design was lackluster and the costumes looked cheaply made. Overall, I would not recommend this production to anyone looking for an enjoyable theater experience.

"The Wicked Witch San Antonio" was a complete waste of my time and money. The script felt uninspired and cliché, leaving me bored and unengaged. The actors seemed like they were just going through the motions, lacking any real depth or passion in their performances. The production value was incredibly poor, with amateurish set pieces and props. I left the theater feeling unsatisfied and regretting my decision to see this play.
