Wicked

It was supposed to be a simple lunch somewhere yesterday, but The Filipino Librarian was so resourceful, he got us very cheap tickets to a matinee of Wicked! Yippee! Defying gravity! I had to cut short everything that I was doing, and rushed to Times Square, barely making it. As I told Von: things never change - he's always been reliable and resourceful, and I'm always late! LOL

The secret to enjoying anything: just have zero expectations. Truthfully though, I cannot for the life of me remember any melody from Wicked. However, I did enjoy it, and I wasn't disappointed one bit. For the late bloomers like me (Wicked has been on for three years! Ick), Wicked is the "backstory" of the Witches of Oz: Glinda (the Good!) and Elphaba (the Wicked Witch of the West). So you basically have this tragic figure Elphaba who is "destined" to be evil because she's "ugly", and Glinda, who comes straight out of Legally Blonde, and is basically the "chosen one". Love it.

I now want to watch every musical on Broadway. Haha. Well, Von and I are watching Hairspray on Saturday. So excited.
