One of my Christmas presents from Tim was 2 tickets to see the Broadway musical Wicked. I teased him and said, "Gee who should I take with me?" :-)
Our tickets were for the evening show yesterday. I had quite a bit of separation anxiety before we left. (I have NO IDEA how I'm going to be able to go back to work, but I'm not allowing myself to worry about that just yet.) I made it through dinner okay, but I actually cried at the PAC before the show started because I was missing Isaiah and Mallory. How pathetic am I?!?! (You don't have to answer that. It was a rhetorical question.) Not to worry - I did just fine as soon as the show started.
We started our evening with dinner at Beefeaters. This was our second time eating there. The first time was last August with Tim's parents. We had a great meal that night, but last night's meal was not very good at all. We both got fish and chips. There was too much batter on the fish, and it was over-cooked on the outside and mushy on the inside. The french fries (chips) were also over-cooked. It took a looooong time to get our food, and the restaurant was not very crowded at all. Gordan Ramsay would be very, very disappointed. Tim and I were laughing as we waited for our food because we were both thinking, "Gordan would be really unhappy with the service and the food!" I guess we watch too many of his shows.
After dinner, it was time to head to the show. Our seats were fantastic. We were seated in the first balcony in the front row. It was a perfect view; there were no heads to look around. I'm not even going to try to describe the show. It was absolutely amazing! The actors had such talent, and the writing was great. There were many laugh-out-loud moments, and the music and special effects will haunt our thoughts for a long time. If you have an opportunity to snatch up a ticket - GO SEE THE SHOW!!!
The storyline was fantastic. I don't want to go into to much detail because I don't want to ruin it for you. All I'll say is that I will never watch The Wizard of Oz the same again. I'll be watching it from a completely different perspective. It was impressive how the writer made the story work with the original. I noticed one little flaw, but I don't want to spoil the show for anyone. (Tim heard someone talking about the same flaw as we were leaving.)
Just a quick side note - Isaiah went pee-pee on the potty before Sunday School yesterday and again today before his nap! The great part is he went almost immediately; we didn't have to hang out in the bathroom for 30 minutes before he finally decided to go. :-)
Jen and I are going to step aerobics tonight. I'm going to go conserve some energy so that I don't look like such a wimp...

You'll have to call and tell me about the show because I doubt if I'll get a chance to see it.
Did Isaiah miss you and Tim?
I was thinking the same thing! Just make a spoiler post if you feel like sharing. I would LOVE to go but tickets are out of my price range right now ...
I would love to go but can't afford the tickets and don't have a buddy to go with. Since Ryan won't go with me. What a putz! No need to answer that. He knows he is a putz. I am close to getting him to FINALLY get us tickets to see the Nutcracker Ballet. Since I have never seen it, and he has when he was in middle school. I said he has to take me at least once. Maybe Tim can talk Ryan into taking me to see some musicals. Tell Tim he has to convince Ryan to take me. He won't listen to me.
Hope step aerobics went great. Hope you aren't too sore. Talk to you soon!
