Four years ago, while attempting to determine if I wanted to minor in Theater, I took a theater class. I had already taken an acting class, which I really enjoyed, but this theater class was seriously one of my most enjoyable classroom experiences from my college tenure. It was in that class that I first discovered -and fell in love with- Wicked. 
I bought the soundtrack. My b.friend/[former] roommate and I memorized every. single. word. We did innumerable duets. She is always Galinda. I am always Elphaba. In 2006 we dressed up as [our versions] the duo for Halloween. [It was the best we could do on college student budgets.]

Contrary to our duet parts, she was Elphie and I was Galinda for Halloween. I'm glad she decided to just have green eyeshadow instead of doing her entire body green. That would have been a lot of work...
I. love. this. musical. I tried for years to see it. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrsss.
Well, guess what?? Last weekend I SAW IT. It was even better than I had always hoped it would be. Absolutely amazing. The cast was wonderful. The orchestra was wonderful. Our seats were wonderful good. The company {my little sissy} was wonderful.
So thankful for my favorite aunt who read about the ticket lottery in the paper. And so thankful to my favorite mommy for being selfless and bowing out when we could only get two tickets. Love you both.
Can't wait to see it again in Richmond in March with Cody. Don't forget, honey - tickets go on sale December 4th!!

Oh I really wanted to see that! I am so glad you saw it & enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteThis is my second favorite musical of all time (Phantom of the Opera is first). I got to see it on tour a year and a half ago when it was in Cleveland. Oh my gosh, it was so amazing!! I went with my whole family. Luke reluctantly went expecting to sleep all night, and he was so surprised when he loved it! It was just so hilarious, and had something for everyone. Glad you finally got to see it! I'm sure it was worth the wait :-)
ReplyDeleteI really, really want to see this! Ugh, I hate not being able to go see plays anymore in Nashville!
ReplyDeleteI've heard so many good things about this. I've never seen it. In any form. So now I really want to! I love musicals!
ReplyDeleteoh this picture is just plain funny!what are you going to dress like this Halloween??
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday and come check the randomness going on the blog!
Awesome! I'm glad you were able to see it.

ReplyDeleteI have also been wanting to see for a very long time. My best guy friend won tickets for 2 in a raffle at his work and really didn't want to go so he gave the tickets to my hubby and me!! I was beyond grateful... GREAT SHOW!!!!
AHHH SO JEALOUS!!! I am obsessed with the soundtrack and wish I went to see it when it was in town!!
ReplyDeleteWasn't it just fabulous? I have seen it twice and it was so amazing. I am in love with the soundtrack!

Im so jealous I have been wanting to see this ever since I read the book! I take a annual trip to NYC every year with all the girls in my family and its always sold out. Last year when it came to DC at the Kennedy Center it was sold out in 4 minutes! Thanks for the info about the tickets for the show in Richmond because I am determined to see it and Richmond isn't too far of a drive for me!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! It is an amazing show. I know you had a blast. What a cute idea for Halloween!
