"well we all can't come and go by bubble!"

Jenn and I went to the opening of Wicked last night, and it was, well wicked!

We've been waiting for this moment since I bought the tix for Jenn's birthday two months back and what happens? We're late!!! Stupid city and the lack of parking. So we missed the intro, dratz. Though as soon as we were able to get in, it was just "wow", an our seats were great -I was so worried our seats being so far back, we wouldnt be able to see jack, but it was perfect! almost.

The whole show was aaamazing, the actors, the costumes, the lighting, the props. Just astonishing. Jenn was on the edge of her seat the whole time. I enjoyed every minute of the show, except for...when Bert Newton (he played The Wonderful Wizard of OZ) had his solo, he was absolutely awful! and the song went for so loooooooooong :(. I hate to say it, but Rob Mills was actually good *gasp*. The whole show was just great great great.

The musical was different to the novel, some of the story changed (as they do, and the musical was lighter than the novel) but despite my expectations, the musical was wonderful as it's own.

I bought a whole bunch of merch after the show, well tried, we were first in line, but couldnt decide what to get and when we did finally decided, the computers die and they're only accepting cash and we had none! so we had to get out of line and find an ATM, bleh when we came back they were about to close, lucky the girl remembered us. I bought a CD, the program, a keyring (for my sister) and the Grimmerie (a book about the American musical, the actors, the props, just everything into making the musical).

After that we had ice cream, dinner, then maccas (in that order) and got home at about 4am. so much fun, back to what Jenn and I used to do in the old days (staying out super late for no reason).
