For The First Time I Feel...WICKED!!!

That's right friends. After almost two years of waiting, I finally saw Wicked on Friday night. I bought season tickets (along with Heidi and some friends) this year so I would for sure get to go. Then my mom and sisters decided we should all go together, so we bought tickets for another show. That was about nine months ago. Little did we know that Mandy would be pregnant, and her due date would be the day before our show. Dilemma!

Well, my sweet roommate, Heidi, offered to trade Mandy tickets, so that Mandy could go with me Friday night, and Heidi will go with my mom, Dayna, and I in a couple of weeks.

We started with dinner at the Lion House Pantry, then we headed over to the Capitol Theatre.



Three words to describe the show. A. MA. ZING!!!! Seriously. It was incredible. Definitely my favorite musical, and that's saying something since I love muscials. The actors were fabulous, the singing was great (except Fiyero got a little nasally on the high notes...but that was my only disappointment), and the scenery was fantastic.

I can't wait until I get to go again. And I've decided that I need to see it in other cities as well. I don't know when or how, but I am going to see it in New York, and I'd love to see it in L.A. and Chicago as well.

So, my final review is not two thumbs up, but a very enthusiastic two fists raised high in the air and shouting WOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!

OK, wasn't it the most amazing thing EVER? I think Elphaba's voice was unbelievable. Sigh, I'm SO jealous you're going twice! :)
