Last night was opening night for "Wicked" at The Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. I now remember why I want to leave Arizona and move back to the east coast. Theatre is an event, not somewhere to wear your shredded jeans and scrappy band shirt.
So - we got all pretty and met good friends to start our evening at Asia Nora. The food was delish-tastic as was the modern asian atmosphere.
To avoid sounding like a gushing child, I will not describe our experience at The Kennedy Center.
Wicked. is. the. best. show. I've. ever. seen. Ever.
The costumes were brilliant, the set - innovative and interesting. The leads had voices that intermittently stopped me from breathing because I was afraid to miss a note. The ending was the only slight disappointment, but I won't reveal.
Big standing ovation.

Just move to Chicago. We get all of the big hit shows before they ever touch a Broadway stage. Spamalot, The Producers, Movin' Out, Wicked...all made their debut here.
Sadly, more and more places that used to be Occasions to get gussied up and take on the town, are really just excuses to wear the good jeans and a jacket with their t-shirts. Remember Las Vegas??? Nothing but rubes in flip-flops. Tragedy to see so many people crapping up the place. I mean would it kill you to put on a shirt and tie to go see Tom Jones?
The happiest of holidays to you!
have you read wicked? if not, do so. wonderful read.
and yes, like he said, HAPPY HOLIDAYS
Loved the book - the play is amazing. Merry Merry, Ho Ho Ho, Happy Hols and Seasons Greetings!
