A WICKED Weekend

So I have to tell you about my wicked weekend.

Before you freak out, not it wasn't like that! So just clear your minds!

I went to see WICKED this past weekend at the Ford's Oriental Theatre, downtown Chicago. It is so not like what you imagine from the title. Instead it is the rest of the story to the Wizart of Oz---both prequel and sequel. Wow was it incredible. From the cast of singers and actors to the acting itself, to the staging and set! I have never before witnessed such a performance where 100% of the cast was 100% involved in their personal part. I got chills so many times! And it was just purely delightful music. Belting done in its proper technique!!! I really need to research this style of singing.

Each character was truly delightful and convincing! What a story.

On top of going to this production, my friend and I toured the Cultural Center, ate dinner, and thoroughly enjoyed each other's company while walking up and down Chicago.

With this weekend came several evenings of staying with my friends, movies, the Olympics, Fish dinners, music, and oodles of popcorn. Oh and did I mention fishing!!! Didn't catch anything, but it sure was fun. I got some bites, but no eating!
