Next Sunday evening, Kristi and Jennifer are treating Lyn and me to our "virgin voyage" with the show WICKED. (I think we're the only two people in the universe who haven't seen it 2 or 3 times already.) Getting this for a birthday present makes looking down the barrel at 60 less intimidating. Thanks, K & J (and Curtis/Brian)!
By the way, watching the documentary SHOW BUSINESS on Showtime has really gotten me excited...it shows all the background/rehearsals/production angst of the staging of 4 musicals in the 2004 Broadway season. WICKED was one of the four. Way cool.

DON. You are going to LOVE IT! It is absolutely amazing. Just amazing. I've seen about 15-16Broadway shows in NYC, LA and Portland, and this was the only one I've ever been to that the entire audience JUMPED to their feet before the last note of the show was even over. Woohoo! Then again--hope we're not all building it up too much! :)
YAY!!! I am glad you are looking forward to it---although, I am a bit jealous!
it's playing in SF starting january. i need to get tickets.
be sure to blog about it when you are done... i want to hear what you and lyn think!

Yes...you are totally correct in being excited. I loved it, Brandon loved it, it's one of those musicals you can't help but LOVE.
You are not alone....We haven't seen it either...Hope you love it.
Curious if you've read the book. If so, your thoughts. I read the book when it first came and and saw the musical just this year for my b-day.
No, Celeste . . .
Haven't read the book, but it sounds like I should read it. Should I read it first?
If you read quickly then YES, a resounding YES, read the book first. You'll appreciate the story so much more. It's a long book but worth it so much. I gave that book Strong-Weak-In-No-Way!
I can't wait!
