Last night was a special kind of date night- we went to see Wicked! The tickets were my birthday gift from Ryan and as one last 2010 hurrah, we headed to the Cadillac Palace Theater to see Elphaba and Galinda (the Ga is silent) make their way to Oz.
I saw Wicked for the first time about 5 years ago after a year of being in love with the soundtrack. The 2010 tour was no different- the cast was amazing, the set was amazing, the music…amazing. I must say, when Elphaba rises to fly above the stage at the end of “Defying Gravity” may very well be one of my favorite moments that there ever has been. It gives me chills and makes me cry, every single time, every single time!
There needs to be more musical theater in my life in 2011. Grinning from ear to ear for 3 hours, date night with my man, people breaking out into spontaeneous song…Best. Birthday. Gift. Ever.
