“Careful, my dear, you mustn't get wet."
Wednesday we finally saw Wicked!!! It was wonderful. I arranged my schedule so I would have the evening off and we headed up to Salt Lake. We first had to drop the kids off at Jenny’s new place. Then we headed to dinner at Red Lobster: 
After our dinner, we headed to the Capitol Theatre: 
We were early so we took some photos:
We were trying to be like the photo, but I couldn’t keep a straight face because of WHAT Matt was whispering in my ear.
Once we got in the theatre, Mom wanted to buy a Wicked umbrella and I had to get my magnet. I was very excited: 
Once we got our seats, I snuck a few pictures: 
Then it began. Oh my, the music was wonderful. My favorite was Defying Gravity. It was breathtaking. Elphaba was fantastic!! During intermission we snuck another photo: 
But then were told to the put the camera away. The only disappointment was the finale. I thought there were a lot more powerful numbers throughout the performance, but the finale was only so-so. It was still amazing though. As soon as it was over we hurried out to make the drive to pick up the kids and head home. We pulled in the driveway about 1 o’clock totally beat, but also totally worth it.
“I mean come on, they're just shoes. Let it go!”

it was the most awesome show I've ever seen. Lucky me that Abby got us tickets. Thanks. I loved every minute of it and there was no favorite part because it was all awesome.
I have to say that defying gravity was my favorite musical number. My favorite scene was when Glenda was showing Elphaba how to be popular and flip her hair. Elphaba was by far my favorite character and the actress who played her really gave her a lot of personality. I enjoyed the evening so very much and was so happy to be able to experiance something new with my beautiful wife. I will admit that I was very grateful when we pulled into the driveway and I got to colapse into my bed. It was one of the most memorable dates I've ever been on.
