it was wicked good.

For Christmas, John & Dixie generously gave their children tickets to the National Tour of "Wicked". Unlike most people (women) I was actually unfamiliar with the majority of songs and storyline (I had seen Kristin Chenowith perform "Popular" on the Today Show, but that was the extent of my "Wicked" exposure). Now that I've seen the play and heard the incredible music by Stephen Schwartz, I can certainly understand why so many were hooked (some even obsessed). It's hard to choose, but I think my favorite song was, "I'm Not That Girl" (see YOUTUBE video below). It was fun to share this "evening of culture" with my best friend and sweetheart, Bretty Boy. In addition to our fabulous tickets, we, along with Brett's siblings and their spouses, were also treated beforehand to a yummy steak dinner by my in-laws. It really was a fun night--what a great gift to receive. Thanks, Mom & Dad!

I had a passerby take a group shot of
all 7 of us, but it turned out fuzzy.
Hopefully somebody else's
camera got a good photo???

Can you imagine that deduction coming from this family?
Shocker. :)
Here's our view from our CENTER seats.
We saw several people from our ward and as luck
would have it, next to my seat was none
other than Lisa Glassey from Foxboro...couldn't have
asked for a better "Wicked" neighbor!
