Wicked, Again!

I know, I know, I've already seen Wicked when some friends and I made a trip to New York. However, before we moved to California I heard that Wicked was going to be playing in S.F. January through July and I just couldn't pass it up! My mom and sister really wanted to see it and since I had the worst seat possible in N.Y. (last row of the entire theater and farthest seat on the left) I was determined to buy a better seat. Luckily, I'm a proud user of an Amex credit card and us 'members' have the ability to buy tickets to shows that are not yet released to the public. This was my chance! Within minutes of the tickets being able to be purchased by Amex card users I had myself 3 tickets in the 5th row from the stage! I bought those tickets back in September and I have been counting down the days until April 18th. Unfortunately, my sister had to drop out of the trip because she hurt her back/shoulder really bad and would be in too much pain to sit through an 8 hour car ride (up and back) and 3 hour show. My Dad was all too willing to take her place and was pretty glad he did. He LOVED the show! It's not just a chick thing. And I LOVED being so close to the action. I could see spit while they spoke, dust from slamming books closed and strings hanging from the bottom of Galinda's dress (the strings bugged me by the way. I wanted to stop the show and jump up there and trim them). Trust me, if this show comes anywhere near you, please go! I would even see it again if Travis hadn't already threatened me not to even think about it ;) I'll just cross my fingers they'll make it into a movie and SOON!
