WICKED!!!

On June 9, Britti, Chelsea, and I went up to Columbus for the Broadway touring company presentation of "Wicked." The girls received their tickets as Christmas presents, and, well, I just had to go up as their chauffeur :) As an added bonus, I learned just a few days beforehand that Kim Zimmer (Reva, "Guiding Light") had a principal role in the show.

The show was just amazing! The story was so thought-provoking, and it fit so well with the original, "Wizard of Oz." The songs were awesome, and I haven't been able to stop listening to the soundtrack or get the lyrics out of my mind.

After the show, we headed over to the stage door, and we got to meet the actors who portrayed the male lead as well as "Nessie Rose" (the Wicked Witch of the East) AND Kim Zimmer! Of course, I felt like a bumbling fool as I tried to interact (and awkwardly so!), but it was very amazing to get a photo with this person that I had watched for years on my favorite soap!
