Yep- I had tickets :)

Wicked has been touring the country for quite some time and it finally made here! A few months ago, my friend called and said she could get us tickets. Did I want to go? haha Do you really have to ask that?! I'm the one who introduced you to the music! So our evening at the theater was last night. While it can't ever compare to seeing it for the first time on Broadway with original cast members, I have to say we did a fantastic job! Still loved every minute of it! If I had to pick a favorite number (or two...) here they are...

This is Elphaba- also known as the Wicked Witch of the West. In this number, she has just realized that she has power she didn't realize to stop bad things from happening. She sings a song called Defying Gravity. Its amazing to see. Its the final number of Act One.

haha- then there's this little number called Popular. Elphaba and Glinda are roommates at college. Glinda, in her own little way, decides to help Elphie become "pretty and popular." Hilarious! The woman who performed last night was priceless.

Wow I love the theater!

My very popular friend let me know the other day that she had gone to see Wicked and thought of me. We are, after all, very popular, you may know.

I too am jealous! I heard it was coming and wanted tickets but they were so darn expensive! Luckily I have seen the play but I could see this one over and over again! Glad you got to go:)

So glad to have friends who share my love of the "theatre" (gotta say w/ a snobby British accent)!!
