Tonight, my parents took me out to Wicked. I had seen it with Aaron several years ago, but the thought of going again - well, it didn't take a second thought. The bonus of the night was that Gammage has lots of stairs - and no elevator. My mom's knees and stairs don't get along well, so she got handicapped tickets that landed us in the front row!
HOLY COW!!!
I haven't EVER sat in the orchestra at a Broadway musical, much less the front row. It was amazing. I could see the details on their costumes, the expressions on their faces - all of them at the same time! We were astounded about the speed of their costume changes, the fluidity of the scene changes, the orchestra right at our feet - it was an awesome night and I was in heaven.
I was a theatre teacher for 6 years, and I miss being able to use that part of me. It was fun to explain some of the ins and outs of theatre stuff. Thanks mom and dad, you're awesome.
Then, to top it all off - There is a new Dunkin Donuts on 99th ave and Thomas! What a great night!

Curtis and I are seeing this for the first time on Sat, July 18th. Can't wait!
I would love to see the show. I have decided to start taking Katelynn to plays when James comes home. Kind of a mommy daughter night out. Sounds like so much fun.
Fun night! I'm sure that is what heaven will be like for you!! A stage with swift costume changes and donuts!! (Somebody was bound to replace the Krispie Kremes!!)
