Feeling a Little Wicked
Continuing an annual tradition I started with my Mom I don't remember how many years ago, we treated my parents to Wicked. And by "we", I mean Caesar, myself, my Brother and Sister-in-Law. What a fantastic time, the six of us seated in the orchestra section, eyes fixed on the magic happening on stage. Even my Brother will (grudgingly) admit to enjoying the show. Nothing brings a family together like musical theater, and with such a spectacular production. My Mom and Dad could talk of nothing but the finale to Act I, how breathtaking and amazing it was to watch Elphaba rise above the stage. My SIL loved the duet "For Good". I enjoyed watching a show with my family, like we used to do when my Brother and I were still in elementary school.
Too bad we only seem to do this once a year.

My family used to do family outings like this - theatre and then a dinner somewhere afterwards - very nice memories, this.
Seeing Wicked is on my to-do list. Not sure if I'll take the JB or not. I once took him to Phantom and less than ten minutes in I heard snoring. At intermission he asked when the phantom makes his appearance. Sigh.
Glad you had a great time and that you could share it with your family.
I've never seen it but I really need to. I've heard nothing bad about it.

Ur-spo: We try to do this once a year, something I started with my Mom about 10 years ago.
Pac: I hate to say it, but I side with JB on this. Phantom, when I finally saw it, was a bit of a letdown. At least I liked it better than Cats.
Mark: It's a good show. Great music, and if you have a lead who can belt out a song, the finale of Act I is incredible.
Am so happy to have seen the original cast on Broadway....! (Brag, brag, brag)
"Nothing brings a family together like musical theater..." That should be a bumper sticker.
