I have heard how incredible this production is from many different people. So when I heard it was coming to Salt Lake I had to get tickets. Conveniently, the tickets went on sale around Christmas so Jeff and I gave my mom a ticket to her as her Christmas present.
This production was incredible. From the music, the costumes, the set, the storyline for sure ( I love the Wizard of Oz references) it was pretty amazing. My favorite song is defying gravity. I down loaded it on my IPOD so I could listen to it in the car. Then I realized just how incredibly talented those performers are. Even with the music in the background I still sounded like a drowning cat trying to belt those lyrics out. But it didn't stop me I still kept singing. My only regret was not getting Abbey a ticket to see it too. She would have loved it. The singing and dancing is just what she loves.
After the show I was driving in the car and started to analyze the story a little more. Elphaba was a woman who was never loved by her mother or her father. She was an outcast because of her looks. She just was trying to help those who couldn't help themselves and then accused of betrayal by her best friend. I felt kind of sad for her and then I realized I shouldn't feel bad for her. Through all of that, she found who she was and stood up for what she believed in. Way to go girl!
