I actually do feel a little wicked...instead of doing homework tonight, which was my original plan, I went to see Wicked! Yes, I know what you are thinking. Why would I plan on doing homework on a Friday night in London? Well, because I have A LOT of it. I am not on vacation. I am going to school. HA! what a load of bologna. I am totally on vacation with a hint of school. But really, that hint of school is much more potent than I would like it to be. I shouldn't call it vacation. The work load has been challenging.
I am so glad I decided to go to Wicked instead of writing a paper. It was incredible. (I'm sure my parents love hearing that.) First of all, students get the best available seats at an amazing discount price. So we got to sit in rows 6 and 7. I was front and center. I have seen Wicked once before at the Pantages in L.A., but I almost completely forgot the story. And sitting so close, I was able to see the costumes really well. They were so detailed and beautiful and funky.
You know you are a theater nerd when you get all choked up several times throughout a show purely because you are overwhelmed at the talent and beauty of the performance. I felt like I was about to cry about ten times throughout the show! How embarrassing! I guess I truly am a theater nerd.
The dancing was really awesome. I don't remember much dancing in it before, but this time it really stood out to me. Fiyero was a magnificent dancer! He really knew how to move those hips! I can totally see my friend Zach playing him someday. It would be a perfect role for him.
There were seven of us, but this is Taylor, me and Kristen, and we couldn't wait for the show to start!
Our 7th row center seats
SWEET!
