WICKED!

"Long before Dorothy dropped in, two other girls meet in the Land of Oz. One, born with emerald-green skin, is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. How these two unlikely friends end up as the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch makes for the most spellbinding new musical in years."

i'd always wanted to see the musical WICKED, but i never seemed to get it in gear in time to buy tickets the few times it has come to LA. luckily, my mom and her work friends bought a block of tickets last year and they ended up with 2 extras. so kristine and i snuck out a little early from work and caught the matinee with them yesterday. we're both very glad we did. awesome show! super funny too! i definitely want to read the book now. it was really neat to see how they wound the storyline around the details of the wizard of oz.

you can find out more about WICKED here. they'll be back in LA at the pantages in februrary 2007. if you are interested in going, let me know, i may join you!
