Wicked!

Mom and I went here...























and saw this.






















It was absolutely incredible. My first Broadway show on a big stage. Big bright and beautiful. and these two...






















were absolute MAGIC together.

I, personally, would not recommend the book. I found it rather dry and rough and all together hard to swallow but if you ever, EVER, get a chance to see it on stage...DO!

For those of you who don't know much about it here it is in a nutshell. The first half all happens before the story of the wizard of oz and the second half runs parallel to it. It essentially shows that the good witch is not as virtuous as you thought and the wicked witch of the west is far more virtuous than most and justified in just about every action and decision that she makes.

I would never be mean enough to give all the intricacies of a story away but it truly is incredible.

4 cared enough to say so.:

I tried to read the book and couldn't get through it. I might give the show a chance.

Michele sent me.

I'm just starting to read the book, but either way I'm quite jealous. Personally, I'd really like to see Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, with what was cut out of the movie. They butchered the best parts of the songs.

Oh and on a second note -- Good luck with NaNoWriMo!
