Wicked

Sat, July 20th we went to see the broadway play Wicked at Gammage Theater on ASU campus. Here is a photo of Sandi and Heidi at intermission. We had a great time. The message of the play was very good. It basically lets you know how all the characters from Wizard of Oz knew each other or were related and how they came to be viewed by others for either good or bad even if it wasn't true. The biggest message was "be yourself" and not let others label you. It was an emotional play. The audience was carried with every emotion from laughter to tears. It was the only play Curtis and I had ever seen where at the end when the two main characters "Glinda (the Good) and Elfiba (The Wicked Witch)" came to take their bows...the entire theater in breath stood on their feet and cheered! All these characters did a superb job in acting. Three of them were the understudies. I was impressed at how well it was done. Curtis was busy analyzing the entire play from a Bishop's point of view. He had a hard time with it but did like the ending.
