I’m so excited!! This weekend is my 5th wedding anniversary. And the hubby picked a perfect gift for me… he’s going to bring me to see Wicked on Broadway this weekend. I’ve been obsessing about that musical ever since some friends and my mother-in-law introduced me to the soundtrack. I love music, and I love to sing. I used to sing on stage with my father when I was a little girl, in fact. I sing now… for probably hours a day, along with music. I think I have a decent, but untrained, voice. So music has always been a big part of my life, and I love music with heart. Well, that’s exactly what Wicked is. Music with heart…. and a storyline. 
“Wicked” is the story of the Wicked Witch of the West, from the Wizard of Oz. It details her life, and what led her to become … well, the Wicked Witch that we saw her as in the Technicolor movie all those years ago. It turns out that she and Glinda (The Good Witch of the North) knew each other at school, and were even friends! This is based on a book by Gregory Maguire, which I’ve only read a little of (in this case, I’m wanting to see the musical before I read the book - with movies and books it’s usually the opposite for me!), but looks to be really brilliant. Here’s an overview of the official synopsis: ” Long before Dorothy dropped in, two other girls meet in the Land of Oz. One, born with emerald-green skin, is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. How these two unlikely friends end up as the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch makes for the most spellbinding new musical in years.”
Anyway, the hubby made a lucky guess or actually has some brains up there in that sweet little head of his (probably a little of both), and this is going to be my best Anniversary gift so far! I’ll be gone until the 4th. I’m going to bring him to Ellis Island (he’s been to NY plenty of times, but never to Ellis Island, which I find absolutely fascinating), and we’re gonna go check out some of the museums and fun stuff about town together, since we’ve both been to NYC, but never together.
Hope that everyone has a great 4th of July (if you’re here with me in the USA, that is!) and a great weekend! I’ll have my laptop with me for emails and whatnot, but I’ll probably be pretty lazy about checking it.

A little late for a comment, but I just saw Wicked for the second time on Tuesday. It was very good, I hope you enjoyed it.
I did! It was awesome
I’d love to see it again. I’d REALLY love to see it again with the original cast, but alas, that will probably not be coming true any time soon. 
I find it entertaining (although trivial) that my husband and I celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary 10 days before you did.
Anyways; just wanted to drop a note saying thanks, and keep up the good work ^_^
I was adding you to my credits page, and was hoping to find a short blurb to use, but no biggie. Have a good one!
