Wicked

I saw Wicked in London today and it was absolutely amazing! I always heard from people how good this musical was but I never really thought anything about it because I never like musicals much when I see them as movies. But it is completely different seeing a musical live. The stage setup, the performers, the costumes, the music... everything was perfect.

After today, I have officially fallen in love with musicals.

Like last time when I watched Avenue Q, we got to London early and had two hours of free time...


We had dinner at these Portuguese chicken place. It seemed reasonably priced but when our food came out, the portions were really small...
Carla, Amy, Fang.

Paula and I... she's so pretty!

Right before the show.. I'm so excited!!!


I like this picture of us. =)

Dannng, my ticket was worth 60 pounds ($120!)
But I got it for much cheaper than that...

Here is the inside of the theater.

We had really good seats near the front. Except... I had to keep moving around during the performances to get a good view because there were some heads in my way. It's okay though.

I took a bunch of pictures and videos during the first 15 or so minutes of the show but then the usher saw me, took my camera away, and deleted all my pictures. Sigh... oh well, it's my bad.

The performance was so good though, especially the girl who played Elphaba (the main character). Her name is Alexia Khadime and I read in the program that she used to play Nala for the Lion King musical. She's seriously really talented.

Here is a clip of one of the songs:

It's pretty good but can't compare to some of the other scenes she did. I just can't find good quality videos of those scenes... oh well.

Oh, and the guy is handsome huh? All the girls back home keep asking me if I've seen any "hot British guys"... let me just say, British men are overrated. This is probably the first good looking one I've seen.

Anyways, I could talk on and on about this musical but it would probably be really boring to read. So if you want to know more about it, just watch it for yourself!
