Well my long awaited Wicked day has come and gone and it was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let me start with our prestory:
Well we decided to drive fro this trip and left our house at 10:30 a.m. We drove along pretty smothly until we saw a billboard advertising Wicked. Then there were MAJOR traffic problems. We moved INCREDIBLY slowly and our clock to showtime was winding down. We got to the entrance of the theatre and my dad dropped us off. We raced in to learn we missed the entire frist number (My dad ended up missing the second number). But that was okay Iwas just glad to be there.
Anyway, I'll start with the performers:
Shoshana Bean: Excellent. I loved her in this role. She was the perfect Elphie. Grade: A+
JLT: I was anxious to hear how she sounded and she was very good as Glinda. She was a good singer, good actor good everything. Grade: A+
David Ayers: I wasn't sure what to expect with him and Fiyero has never been my favorite character, but he played Fiyero pretty well. Grade: A
Carolle Schelley: Wow. She was brilliant. She played the villain side of Madame Morrible perfectley! Grade: A+
George Hearn: I liked him as the wizard. He was funny and acted like I picture the Wizard should act. Grade: A+
Michelle Federer- Excellent as Nessa. She was really a good singer and actor. Grade: A+
Jeffrey Kuhn: I don't know why people did not like him as Boq. I thoughthe played him very well. he sounded very good to me. Grade: A
William Youmans: Very good as Doctor Dillamond. He was good at playing kindly and angry.
Now the songs:
Dear Old Shiz: Nice. Sounded much better than on the cd. Everyone clapped when Shosh came out.
TWAI: Excellent. Shosh was very good in this song! She held that last note out for like ever!!!!!! WOW!
What is this Feeling: Hilarious. Made my entire family crack up!!
Something Bad: Good. William was good in this scene.
DTL: This was really cool on stage and was well done. On the cd it is never my favorite song but is cool to watch.
Popular: Perfect!!! JL was better than Kristin in this seen she was so funny!!!
I'm Not that Girl: Good. Shosh sang this very prettily.
OSD: Awesome. Well done and really cool scene.
Sentimental Man: Uhhh..... whatver. I never really like this song anyway. It was good just not something great to watch.
Defying Gravity: There is one word to describe this song on stage: WHOA!!!!!!!!! This was an awesome scene. Shosh rocked the last note.
Thank Goodness: Awesome. Better done on stage than on the cd. JLT was very good in this song.
WWOE: Very good. Michelle and Jeffrey were fabulous in this scene. Michelle also semmed really mad at Shosh. She was excellent.
Wonderful: George was excellent in this song. he danced well at the end and was very funny!!
Fight scene: Hilarious!!! JLT can spin that wand. This scene was one of my favorites!!!!( Shosh's cackle was great!!)
I'm Not that Girl (Reprise): Good. Sad as it should always be.
ALAYM: Good. Not one of my favorite songs and it never will be. It was good though. David seemed to have a little trouble on the high notes.
No Good Deed: OMG!!!! Shosh poured her SOUL into this!!!!!!! Perfect. Just perfect.
For Good: Great. Shoish and JLT wre so good in this scene. I liked it alot.
Finale: Good and big, as a finale should be.
Curtian Call: JLT and Shosh annouced that they were collecting money for the AIDS charity and they advaertised the posters and cookbooks. JLT kept doin this weird BUCKET thing though. It was soooo funny.

Ooh..and I love Jennifer Laura Thompson as Glinda. She is my absolute favourite (out of three Glindas)! 
I hope it's actually that good, i'm seeing it when it's in Dallas.
