Yesterday we went with the in-laws to see "
Wicked." I had heard about it because many of my friends have seen it 2-3 times, and they all have the soundtrack in their cars. I don't mind a good story, and if there is music that goes with it....even better! I was a little hesitant because usually when people hype something up, it almost always never turns out as good as expected, but I can say that I really enjoyed watching "Wicked" and I felt so dumb because after the first Act, I sobbed like an idiot! Luckily, my super fun & prepared sis-in-law Chalonn, came to my rescue and provided me with much needed tissues to wipe my wet blotchy face. The play was whimsical, cute, funny, moving, and definetely entertaining. Mike was ok with it, and didn't see what the hype was about. He thought the play should have ended about 5 minutes before it did...more drama! But when it comes to live theater, I believe that you take out of it whatever you are willing to take. For example, Mike still doesn't understand why I cried with "
Spam-a-lot," and don't expect him to, but I believe a good play should provide opportunities to laugh, cry, think, reflect, and make changes in your own life for the better. All that along with being entertained and a good musical soundtrack earns five stars from me!
So if any of these plays come to your hometown, make it a night at the theater!
Here we are at the Paramount Theater in Seattle. My father-in-law was taking the picture, and thankfully the light was low other wise you would see blotches all over my face!
