Defying Gravity

Yesterday, we caught a performance of Wicked.  Like so many things, I fought tooth and nail to get excited about this play because everyone seemed to be so ga-ga for it.  Really, these things are just a matter of time before I get sucked in, too.  I'm just stubborn and, come on guys, the book was so terrible!  But what a fabulous stage show it turned out to be!  And our performance's Elphaba left us breathless.  But really, the WICKED Witch of the West?  She's just trying to save a few animals, is that so bad?  (hee hee)
