Wizomania!

Easter Sunday Joee and I got to go to WICKED for our birthday! (I got Joee her ticket, and my mom got my ticket) Happy birthday to us - almost closer to our next one than the last one - but HAPPY all the same!

I've been 'practicing' with the Wicked CD for so long to get ready for the show. It certainly didn't disappoint - it was WONDERFUL! I loved Galinda's humor and her great words, and the references to the Wizard of Oz, and how totally unconcerned they are with Dorothy and her little dog, too. I LOVED Fiyero, and loved "Dancing Through Life" - especially knowing that "the trouble with schools is, they always try to teach the wrong lessons". "For Good", "I'm Not that Girl" (how many times have I felt just like Elphaba?), "Popular", and "One Short Day" were all favorites. I LOVED it all!


And then, just like now
We can say:
We're just two friends

Two good friends

Two best friends

Sharing one wonderful
One short...

Day!

It WAS way too short! Couldn't the play just keep going??? Or, even better, couldn't Fiyero come home with us!!!
