Totally WICKED!!

Tonight we went to see Wicked the broadway musical. It was an all girl party. Mom, Manya, Abby, Gillian, Emily, and Aunt Beth. We weren't allowed to take pictures, so we left our cameras at home. The show was phenomenal! (Yes, Jeanine is torturing everyone by re-singing all of the songs with new and hardly profound home-made lyrics (think opera recitative). Plus Jeanine has apparently spawned daughters who have been imbued with the same talents... just in different keys.)

The fun continued when we got home and enjoyed a little "after party". Unfortunately we didn't get everyone in the picture but as you can see Gillian is SO ready for bed!


Here are some of my favorite quotes of the evening:

"Mom, stop being so dramatic" (Spoken by Abby while in the eternal line for the bathrooms during intermission. I guess she has reached that age where she is embarassed by her mom... what fun I'm going to have with this!!! (instert wicked witch laugh here))

"She brought a Mary Poppin's purse!" (Spoken by Emily as I looked over to see my daugher pull out a miniature bear skin rug to snuggle with in the theatre. Seriously... I can't believe all the stuff Gilly had in there... I truly expected to see her pull out a floor lamp!)

"MOM! Why did you let us stay up until TEN TWENTY!!" (Spoken by Gillian, our resident timekeeper and schedule organizer. as she realized it was a school night.)


Favorite quotes from the show:

"Not everyone can travel by bubble!" (spoken by the wicked witch to Glinda)

"I'm so excited I could MELT!" (spoken by Elphaba (the wicked witch))

"...just follow that road all the way... Gosh, I'm so bad at giving directions!" (Spoken by Glinda to Dorothy and friends (offstage and implied)
