Defying Gravity

I have been waiting for this day for a long, long time. The day has finally come that I get to see the musical that I have been singing the songs to for years.

I have loved the soundtrack from the first moment I heard the music. I was so excited. The only time we could get seats together was on a Thursday matinee performance. We, luckily, ended up with two groups of two seats. Not together, but not too far apart. So, me, Mom, Tami, and Grace headed downtown. We met Val and Layla at P.F. Changs for lunch (yummy, lettuce wraps). Then headed to the theatre.
Side note: isn't Tami's belly so cute? Only four more weeks until I get a new niece!!

I thought this was very cute merchandise spot. I didn't want to stand in the very long line to purchase something. So I coveted from afar.

We went into the theatre and found our seats. I was so, so excited. Apparantly, everyone else was too, because when Elphaba came on stage for the very first time, everyone started clapping. She was phenomenal. I could have listened to her songs all day. Glinda was okay , but Elpheba stole the show. If anyone has a chance, ever, to see Wicked, go see it. It is one the best musicals ever! I recommend it highly.

When I was in New York a couple of years ago we saw Wicked and it was amazing. I could watch it over and over again and never get sick of it!!
