Oh, wait. That quote is from The Wizard of Oz. They're not quite the same. Oh, well...
Tonight, after my super fun blast-from-the-past lunch with the girls, I am off to see Wicked with some friends. Wahoo! I know, I know... how much fun can one girl cram into one day? (Answer: a heck of a lotta fun.)
I've been doing due diligence and listening to the soundtrack (I bought it this morning - along with 5 new songs from Toby Keith's new album... I know, I'm ridiculous, but I love him). *I read up on the back story on Wikipedia, so I know I'll be able to follow the musical, and... I think I'm ready. At least, I'd better be, since Chris is coming any minute to pick me up. (Wahoo!)
I'll check back in tomorrow - after I wake up and before I go see Harry Potter (because you know that anything after I see HP is gonna be about the Weasely twins and how much I love them) - and let ya'll know what I thought.
*I know, I'm such a cheater for reading Wikipedia, which is like cliff notes. But listen, the book is CRAP. I gave it an honest go a few years back and ended up having to throw it away. (Yes, in the dumpster. Poorly written, trashy little thing that it was...) Don't judge me.

Have fun!!! I love wicked. I have actually seen it three times now. LOVE IT!!! Hope you enjoy it. I am also excited to see Harry Potter tomorrow. Yeah for having fun and seeing wonderful things. :)
Did you love it? We saw it last time it was in town and are going again in October. My all time favorite musical!!
Oh, yes. It was so fun. And surprisingly HILARIOUS! I'm telling you, Galinda was CRACKING ME UP! I was a little bummed at how quickly the scenes/songs moved after intermission... the first Act was a much slower pace, and I enjoyed that. But it was all good. We had good seats, which is always nice. And I knew the music well enough to be able to follow along (the acoustics weren't that great, so some of the lyrics were garbled... I was really glad I knew the music well enough to know what they were saying w/o being able to understand them). Oh, and the nods to The Wizard of Oz were pretty fabulous... All in all, it was a VERY fun night! :-)
I could not agree with you more about the book! I finished that and sat there, dumbfounded, for an hour! It was one of the weirdest things I've ever read!
I'm glad the musical was eleventy billion times better. One day, I hope to watch it. One day.
