Wicked broadway Musical

         On December 15, 2011, my friend Nadia and i went to go see the wicked Broadway musical, in Hollywood at the Pantages theater. I can honestly see it was one of the most amazing, breathtaking, life changing experiences of my life! I have always loved theater and musicals, but experiencing it live it a completely different story. 

Okay, so when we arrived, we were greeted by this faboulous sight. I still cant believe that i was finally able to see it! It might not have been in New York, like i dreamed it would, but it was absolutely amazing nonetheless. 

Upon entering, you see the souvenir stand. I wanted to buy everything!!! I especially wanted a hoodie and the black jacket that the man is wearing, but everything was so expensive! so i bought a mug, and a key chain, that actually ended adding up to a pretty penny, haha. 


So once we finish admiring the place, we went to go take our seats. We were siting in seats 210 and 211. They were actually really great seats!!! I had a perfect view! they were expensive seats but not terribly so, I really think they were worth it! however i want to save up more money to  buy better ones! I want to go again next august! haha

Okay so the stage looks farther and smaller in this picture than it actually was. We were the 3rd row in the second floor. Okay, so to recap all my emotions, here, since i forgot my journal, let me just start by saying, this play took my breath away. I cant really describe its effect on me. I was so moved, so inspired. When Elphaba sang defying gravity, i literally stopped breathing. It was beyond anything i have ever heard or seen. I'm not emotional in the slightest, but if i was, it would have surely moved me to tears. That is what i have always wanted to do, but never had the courage to do. Sing and act on a stage! I do not have the voice or the talent, oh but what would i give to be at least a character with minimum lines! The excitement and buzz through the audience was exhilarating. The communal experience is beyond anything else. I want to go back again and again. By the end, i couldn't contain myself, i stood up, and screamed and clapped like a maniac. when i sat back down i was stunned. i couldn't think, my head was whirling with what i had just experienced. I LOVE LOVE LOVED it!

"Its time to try defying gravity!"
