I set up our living room for "Daddy DayCare,"
prepared the scavenger hunt,
made a "trophy" for the winner,
put out games,
rented a movie . . .
the Dad's were set on entertainment availability!
So, our families had dinner together - tostadas are a new favorite for the kids, so that's what we had. Then, I explained the rules of the scavenger hunt - - - and off went the dads and the kids - - - and off went the mommies!
I thought the seats were at the edge of the balcony . . . but to my surprise . . . we were in row "N." 14th row away from the stage - AMAZING! Thanks to Jana (my friend who sold us the tickets - and made sure the date was open for us to go), we had one of the BEST experiences EVER!!!
IF YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN WICKED, AND YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO IN THE FUTURE, I SUGGEST THAT YOU SPLURGE - GET GREAT SEATS - TAKE A GIRL FRIEND - MAKE SURE YOU HAVE MONEY FOR A CD! YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!
I cannot express how much I enjoyed going to see this amazing musical. It was perfect that Vicky got to go with me too.
If you don't know the plot, it is that the "wicked witch" from The Wizard of OZ wasn't always wicked. She and "Glinda the good witch" were actually friends in college. (Really made me miss you Jess! A LOT!) So you can see why I say to take a good girl friend - it's a feel good musical that reminds you how important friends are and how sometimes even the most unexpected friends come out of unforseen circumstances.
It was funny too though - I think Gus would have enjoyed it as well.
I did buy the CD at the end of the performance - and it was worth every dollar! And I mean dollar - all of the merchandise was a little bit pricey. The CD was reasonable though, and it is a great purchase.
Thanks Jana for selling us the tickets.
Thanks Vicky for coming with me.
Thanks Gus and Leo for watching the kiddos.
IT WAS AN UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT!!!
