WICKED

last night i rode the subway down to hollywood and vine and met lottie and arianna for dinner and a show. the place we wanted to eat at was closed down so we schlepped ourselves in our party dresses and heels down hollywoood boulevard, narrowly avoided a few propositions, and made it to musso and franks safe and sound. after three delicious grilled cheeses (thats one for each of us NOT three for me) we made the hike back and settled in to watch wicked, the new it broadway tour.

lottie's friend and my acquaintnce tera is good friends with the girl who played elphaba, the wicked witch of the west. basically the storyline was told from the perspectives of elphaba and glinda and how they grew up together and how elphaba is really just misunderstood. the performances were stellar, and the script was hilarious. the only negative thing was the people sitting directly behind us, but we were able to change seats at half time.

i am sure some of you guys have seen the musical and prolly liked it. but if you havent and you get the chance definitely go! especially for all you kansans - youve been hating the wrong person this whole time! and youll never guess who the real bad guy is! the big bad wolf! just kidding.

it is always good to get a reminder that other people have the other side to the story and youll never get the whole story unless you were a part of it. all of the ozzians had no idea why elphaba was the way she was, and they hated her, but once they understood the circumstances, things were different. anyways, not to get tooo depp, but the moral if you will was a great one to keep in mind. look at life through other people's green lensed eye glasses. :)
