Wicked


Have you ever seen this musical? 

You have not lived if you haven’t…

Seriously. 

I went to New York and saw Wicked about five years ago and fell in love.  The scenery, characters and costumes are enough to make you want to move to Oz.  And can I just say that the story line is so creative?  It is just amazing. 

But don’t take my word for it, go see it yourself.  I promise that it’s worth it. 

When Ryan and I first started dating, his dad had just purchased 12 tickets to see the play the following year.  I remember thinking “I hope Ryan and I are still dating by then because I want to go see Wicked again!”

Low and behold, a year later, we are married… so I got to go. ;)   

Last Thursday was the big night we had all been waiting for.  The clan - Chuck, Scott, Annalee, Denise, Janette, Brad, Nanci, Jed, Ryan and Me. 
 
As soon as the lights went down and the play started, I was glued to the stage.  Ga-lenda or Glenda (whichever you prefer) was my favorite.  The person who played her was fabulous to say the least.  I was laughing pretty much the whole time.  And the music?  I could go on forever with how impressed I was…    

By the end of the musical, I was sobbing like a baby.  A baby.  It was so good that I just got caught up with the emotion of it!    

Seriously, I loved every minute of it.  I wish I could go again…
