couldn't be happier (wicked, anyone?)

for vacation this summer we rented an apartment in soho for a week. and were lucky enough to see four broadway shows: WICKED (!!!!!!!), how to succeed in business without really trying (fantastic!), catch me if you can (ahh so good), and spiderman (impressed with this one; i'm happy to report that it's no longer the joke of broadway).

in case you didn't know, i have and intense love of wicked. more than anyone else i know. 

• i probably drive my family crazy because i always have the soundtrack playing when i am cleaning. even if i'm cleaning alll day. 
• i might do the fiyero secret handshake all the time. yeah i kind of memorized it as they did it onstage. 
• there's just no way to explain how much i love it!!!
• in my world: wicked = joy

i've loved it since i was in FOURTH grade, SEVEN years ago. so imagine my joy when i found out we were going to see it this summer, in row r. needless to say, it was better than my wildest dreams. and the wait definitely made the experience even sweeter. (don't tell mom and dad that! just kidding.... mostly.)

it didn't hurt that we had a very dreamy fiyero or a phenomenal glinda and teal wicks that could belt just as well as idina menzel. i was nervous because i was so used to the original cast recording, and we obviously weren't going to be seeing the original cast. don't tell, but i love our cast even more! ahh i'm smiling as i type this like some kind of insaniac. in case you didn't get the message i'm trying to get across here, it's that I JUST LOVE WICKED SO SO SO MUCH.

i wouldn't mind if i could just live in the gershwin. creepy, i know.

so so happy.

oops, flash.
