Wicked Sweet!

I was the extremely lucky person to go with my wonderful Aunt Karen, to see the play Wicked about a week and a half ago. I love, love, loved it! It was one of the best plays ever!! I love all the pre-"Wizard of Oz" explanations and stuff. It was such a cool story and then the music was amazing. "Defying Gravity" is my favorite song. I am getting goosebumps just thinking about it. "For Good" is a good song too, but it just doesn't have the electrifying effect of "Defying Gravity".


The cast was amazing too. We sat next to a couple that had seen it in New York (she thought it was with the original cast that had Kristen Chenowith) and in Chicago and she said this cast was the best she had ever seen. The woman that played Glenda was hilarious. I loved her. She did such a good job at tossing her hair. What a riot?!


If you ever get the chance to go and see this play, you should. Even my brother that hates all musicals except for "Les Mis", liked this one. It was amazing!!! Oh, I just am so excited thinking about that show. I guess it is a little late to say this now that the show is gone, but go see it if you get the chance like if you go to LA or New York. It is great for kids, might be a little scary with the flying monkeys though. They had wire hair in our show. Creepy is all I have to say about that. But they don't come out into the audience, so maybe it wont be too bad for the kiddos.

Anyways, I just wanted to say how much I loved this show and tell my aunt one more time how grateful I am she took me. Your the best, Karen! Anytime you want to go again, just let me know.

Here is a video of Defying Gravity. Probably bootlegged, but if it is on YouTube, you could just go find it yourself, so I will just make it easier on you.
