WICKED!!

a couple of weeks ago, chris took me to see the play, WICKED, and i forgot to write about it!! can you believe that??  i have wanted to see Wicked for years after hearing the fun music and learning a little about the story line.  chris bought us tickets for christmas and we have waited patiently these last seven months to see this amazing show.  and it was amazing!! 

i loved elfeba and especially galinda.  i know, she is the ditzy, shallow one, but she was hilarious!! she really played up the part and she reminded me a lot of myself when i was younger - but only in the ways that she was over-dramatic and cheerful. elfeba had a wonderful, strong voice and was pretty funny herself. i really like the music of the play.  it is fun and quirky, yet powerful.  a good combination, if i do say so myself. 

the only "low" point was fierro.  he just wasn't as strong as the other characters.  he didn't have a strong voice and he couldn't dance worth a hoot.  he kept doing the same move over and over and looked quite awkward doing it.  sorry, fierro, you just didn't cut it for me.  luckily, he wasn't the focus of the play and was not in it very much.

everything else was great! the singing, the dancing, the stage, the music - loved it all!  thank you so much, chris, for giving me that experience!
