I completely forgot about Wicked. We went up to Baltimore to see the traveling Broadway show last Thursday, the 25th. It was good, not as good as the Broadway version, but then again that is why it is touring company rather then the main company. Glinda in the beginning was a bit off, but she improved as the evening went on. Elphaba (spelling?) was decent but ended up speaking a few of her song lines which was a bit off. This was both the leads first real roles though (not sure how long they have been touring though) so it was a good performance anyways.

We enjoyed it and will probably see it again if it stops by DC/Baltimore again, we probably won’t see it on Broadway again for awhile since there are a bunch of other shows we want to see and we’ve now seen Wicked twice.

We did decide that the theatre in Baltimore where it was, is fairly easy to get to, so we will keep an eye out to see what else heads that way, since it isn’t a horrible drive to get there for a night of theatre.

Well since I’m pregnant and with Dan’s new job we aren’t going to get to NYC before the baby is born. So we won’t get to do our normal broadway play visit probably for at least a year or two (sigh). However, Wicked is apparently coming to Baltimore. So we got tickets. I went to get tickets on the first day they were avaliable but the seats were restricted view so I decided to wait a few days to get better seats. I apparently waited too long, and when I went back to ticketmaster on Sunday it appears all the Saturday evening shows were sold out, along with the Saturday and Sunday afternoon shows I checked. Fortunately there were seats left on Thursday Jan 25th, the evening show then. They aren’t the best seats but they are still Orchestra and they actually should work out well because they are aisle seats which is good for me since I will be 6+ months pregnant by then so if I need to get up for the bathroom I won’t disturb others during the show.

So we got our Wicked tickets which is nice and on a decent day. I can’t wait to see it again, we loved it when we went up over New Years last year (this year) and saw it on Broadway. It definately was high on our lists to see again, unlike Spamalot which neither of us were that impressed with.

I’m hoping that a few other shows will be hitting Baltimore or DC summer/fall 2007 so Dan and I can see at least one more show next year.
