Friday night I went (finally) to see Wicked with my mom and aunt. It was absolutely amazing, there are no words to describe how awesome Wicked was! Maybe I will be cheesy and say (I am sure you've heard it before) that Wicked was wicked! We decided to go out to dinner before hand and my mom and aunt picked Bennigan's, now I like Bennigan's and all, but really out of all the places to eat in Chicago, we picked Bennigan's??? I was a bit disappointed, but nonetheless it was a great meal. Our waiter was dumber than my left pinky finger, but he was handsome so my mom and aunt decided that it was okay to flirt with him. I, however; was put off by his stupidity and he had the nerve to card me...um, I am with two old horny ladies, I think I am old enough to drink...thanks! It was a good time! 
So, back to Wicked...the cast was amazing and since I have dorky show-choir friends, I already knew the words to the songs! I was so tempted to sing along, because that is what I like to do, but I resisted the urge and kept to myself. When I was like 3 or 4, I watched The Wizard of Oz for the 1st time and I cried when the witch melted...I liked her and felt sorry for her...and now I know that my tears were justifiable and acceptable! I was not an evil cold rotten bitch at the age of 3, I was just really in tune with Elphaba's upsetting past! I knew she was good at heart! Elphaba by far out shined the rest of the cast with her amazing voice! The set was amazing overall one of my favorite plays by far, along with Phantom of the Opera, Mama Mia and Rent.

Wicked is at the Oriental Theatre which is one of the most beautiful theatres with a very ornate Oriental theme. After the play let out and we were being herded towards the door a few older woman were talking about how the play was awful and the singing sounded more like, "screeching and screaming". They also said that Glinda (aka Galinda) was too "bubbly" and "annoying". Um, hello, did you not catch on to the fact that she was supposed to be that way??? Dumb old people piss me off!
(Dee Roscioli - Elphaba) I was going to buy the soundtrack but I am stingy and decided I would get it later because $20.00 was too much. And then on Saturday, I was like, "fuck...I really need to sing Wicked!" So, I headed to Target and found it on sale for $9.99 - what a deal! It is the original Broadway cast versions, so I don't like it as much as the cast from Chicago, but it will do!

I would really like to read the book, so I am hoping Sarah will let me borrow it!
