Wicked


Jon surprised us last night with four tickets to Wicked. We squeaked in just before the end of the run here in Utah. He used "funny money" from winning the NCAA basketball pool. Otherwise I'd be sickened at what he paid for back row seats. They actually worked to our advantage because the boys could get up as high as they wanted to see over people, without worrying about blocking people behind us.

The boys loved it, woke up this morning talking about it, and decided they thought Glinda was cute. They've been singing the songs all day - in the tub, during lunch - it's so fun! They were just discussing with each other over dinner that they wish they could see it over and over again because they wouldn't get tired of it. Yes! The Lion King is coming to the Capitol Theater this summer so we'll take them to that next. "If you train up a child in the way he should go, he will never depart from it." This applies to musical theater, too, yes?

Oh man I'm so stinking jealous right now! I missed my chance to see them in Utah. I would have loved to see Tommy and Charlie's faces as they watched that-I remember they were totally enthralled in that local Grease we went to. How fun.
