Last Wednesday, James and I had the unexpected opportunity to go and see Wicked, one of our all-time favorite musicals. We've had the soundtrack since it first came out in 2003, and have really, really, really wanted to see it since that time. We absolutely love the music and have all of the songs memorized, etc. etc. (Your basic CRAZY fans.) So when the opportunity came to go, we were so excited to finally see it! And we were NOT disappointed. The talent was amazing! And to demonstrate just how geeky I am, I'll tell you that when the lights came down and I heard the first few chords, I got all teary-eyed! (Geek! Geek! Geek!) And that wasn't the only time I teared up, either. (If I ever make it to a Broadway show in NYC, I'll have to remember to bring Kleenex.)
We weren't able to sit together, but we just held hands "mentally" and we both LOVED it. The only problem is--now we want to see it AGAIN. Thank you to the people who arranged for us to go--it will be a night long remembered! And thanks to my sweet husband who insisted I take the better seat. What a gentleman! And thanks to my wonderful aunt and uncle, who at intermission insisted we switch them seats for an even better view! And I'd also like to thank . . .(Do I sound like I just won a Tony? I'll be quiet now.)
Anyway, here's me in my seat, WAY too excited for my age:
James in his seat--he's over there somewhere, I promise:
Actually, James's seat was good, too. We both could see everything quite well. Anyway, Wicked: Wow! Wow! Wow! We're still smiling!

I'm so glad that you were able to go! As for your tearing up... I probably would have done the same thing! I'm glad it was all that you'd hoped for, and I hope that you have the "Wonderful" music stuck in you head for days to come! :)
AHHHHHH! JELOUS JELOUS JELOUS!!! Man. I am SO very jelous. I tried to get tickets for over FOUR hours. Yep, you read it right. FOUR hours. Anyway. No luck for me. I wanted to go so very badly. But, I'm so excited that you got to go. You'll have to tell me ALL about it when I see you next!
