Friday night, Josh and I went to see Wicked. It's the prequel to The Wizard of Oz, but it's about Glenda and the Wicked Witch of the West. It's the story of how each of them came to be. It also explains some of the main characters that you know in TWOO. I've wanted to see it F-O-R-E-V-E-R, and it was, by far, my favorite of the shows that I've seen!! And it changes everything about TWOO!!!! I very highly recommend that you see it if you get the chance.
Wicked was playing in Nashville, so we booked a hotel for the night that was close to TPAC (Tennessee Performing Arts Center). It's called Hotel Indigo, and it is pretty fantastic. It's a modern hotel, and all of the rooms have these giant black and white murals on the wall (look to the left). We'd already plopped down on the bed when I took this - it was more neatly made when we first arrived.
We got there a little early, so after we checked in we walked to Demos for some spaghetti - yummo! After dinner, we went back to the hotel for a pre-show nap (one of the things I appreciate about not having children yet!) and then got all prettied up for the show!
I wish I could have taken some pictures of the performance, but of course there were no cameras allowed. The costumes were just beautiful though!
After the show we went back to the hotel and slept for about ten glorious hours :-)
I couldn't have asked for a better birthday weekend!

Oh happy birthday! I am coming up right up behind you in a couple months with my 28th. Two more years in our 20s! Can you believe it? And oh my heck. I am so excited you got to see Wicked! I cannot wait to see it! I am actually going to see young frankenstein this weekend in my town. Won't be as exciting as Nashville but it will still be fun!
Here's to 28 years and Broadway shows with our men!
Happy late birthday! I'm only a year behind you. And, you look younger than 28!
For my 26th birthday this past February, Colin took me to see Wicked! I loved it as well.
