WICKED!



Over Spring Break, my family went to L.A. to see the musical Wicked. Let me tell you, it was a BLAST! I loved it oh so very much (well, except for Fieryo, but I'll get to that later.) For those that don't know, Wicked is a musical about the witches of Oz before Dorthy came. (It's based on a book that I haven't read because I've heard is extremely obscene.) My mom saw it last year and decided that Kendle and I would love it so she's been trying to find a way to make it possible for a while. Last week we finally saw it! It was way better than I anticipated! I've listened to the soundtrack for a while so I knew most of the words and figured out the plot for the most part but it's a totally different experience when you're actually there. We had really good seats (we were close enough to see facial expressions!) and the singers (is there a technical name for "singers?") were fantastic, except for Fieryo (the love interest.) That was probably because he was the "stand in." I was pretty bummed that he wasn't sensational but I'm still really thankful that I could go. If you ever get the chance, you should totally go and see Wicked! You won't regret it!
