So last night we fulfilled Part II of Ryan's parents' Christmas gift to us. Two tix to see "Wicked." Oh. My. God. It was absolutely fantastic. I loved it ALL. The music, the story, the acting, the singing. Every bit of it. It was great. While I really wished I could have seen it on broadway w/Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel (how amazing would that have been), I am quite satisfied w/this Broadway Across America troupe. Wow, what a production.
I was thisclose to buying tix for ourselves, but after all the convenience charges, it came out to $200 (for pretty crappy seats), so I figured that one day we'll fly to New York and catch one of those day-of lotteries. Well, with gas prices and plane ticket costs the way they are ... I'm so glad that Ryan's folks got us these tix and we were able to go. (They watched Owen.)
They still have physical hold of Owen now and I can't wait until they release him. I so can't wait to see my little pumpkin again!!! I MISS HIM!
