Going Green

Oh. My. Favorite New Musical.

I got to see Wicked tonight. It was FANTASTIC!!!!! I loved every single second! The music. The sets. The costumes. The story. The singing. The script. The Wizard of Oz references.

A. Mazing.

Honestly, sometimes my life is just too perfect!

I got to go tonight with ELJ and her sis and 3 super incredible grandkids. So Fun.

Also, it was the first time I've ever used a men's restroom when it was not specially set apart as a woman's bathroom. The lines were SO long! Crazy long. Clear back into the theater long. So -- I went up to the third floor thinking only the super-needy would head up there -- but no. Super long line. But no one going into the men's! Well - ok like 3 guys. But we lined up and as soon as the coast was clear we were in! The mom and daughter ahead of me were having a whole, "No mom, I don't have to go." - "Look, if you don't go now, don't even think you're getting up during the show - just try and go" conversation and precious time was wasting! So I gave the mom a little push and said - "you go!" She was like - "well I really don't have to but I know she needs to go..." I couldn't hold back - I said, "Go, Go, Go!" Come on lady! One stall, intermission-over's-warning already rang and I've gotta go! So after I said - go go go - I said - alright, I'll go! So I jumped the line and I was in! And it made it back with one minute of intermission left! PHEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the theater. Love it - loaf it - lurve it.

There were definitely some Gospel parallels in the show - but I need to listen to the music some more to remember them all. Fantastic.

I can't wait to know all the music by heart and get to belt it out in the car all the way to Provo. :) (That's just the farthest place I could think of that I regularly go.)

Noah always calls Sister Rasband "the Rasband of Oz." I like that title. :)

Soooooo... If you get the chance - take it. Definitely. It will make you So Happy!
