Thursday 29th March 2007 .:. Wicked The Musical

I got up in the morning, really excited about the evening, even though it was only 6am, and I had more than half a day to get through before the show actually began! School was a blur that day, I hardly payed attention to what we were doing and didn't write down any homework as I had written 'Wicked' in big letters covering all of that day, and writing on it would spoil the whole effect.
As soon as we finished PSE and my tutor said we could go, I practically ran [well actually I speed walked] to the bus stop and got on the bus to Mitcham, and then got on a bus to Croydon which is where I lived at the time.
At home I got ready, and I ate as I waited for my mum to get home and get ready.
Then we left the house and we didn't know where to go buy, thanks to my good map reading skills, we located East Croydon Station. We tried to get tickets from a machine but they were too confusifying so we lined up and got tickets from the ticket man instead and tried to find the platform but we ended up on the wrong one so we had to run across half the station to get to the right platform, and we got onto the train just on time =] On the train I though I saw Idina Menzel for some mad reason but it wasn't her any way it would be too good to be true lol. I was really thirsty but I had to wait untill I got to the theatre.
Finally we were there after two long stops and we located the way out and as soon as I exited the station and I saw the theatre it was non stop excitement for me, and I was squealing alot while my mum called my dad to tell him we had arrived so she would be turning off her phone soon. Because it was all lovely and green and I kept pointing at everything about it it was wonderful! We queued up at the box office to collect our tickets [I was amazed because they had the wicked logo on it haha] and then we went to our seats and we put our coats down and went to get some sprite and maltesers. Then we went to the Ozdust Boutique and I got a Programme and a cap. We sat back down and I realised I had left my glasses at home so I had to get binoculars instead. I studied the map of Oz with my mum and then soon the show finally started!
It was amazing! All the cast were fabulous and I was totally amazed at how amazingly fabulously spectacularifying it was. During Popular my mum pointed out that Glinda has alot of shoes, which was random because I know she does, I could see them even without my glasses. The toss-tossing was really funny I loved it. Then we laughed at Fiyero's "You've been Galindafied!" Defying Gravity really blew me away it was amazing I tell you. "It's not her! I'm the one you want! It's me! It's meeeeeeeeeeeee!" Kerry Ellis has an amazing voice, as does Helen Dallimore. DG blew everyone away I tell you! The applause after that song was really loud and well earned!
Somehow I managed to sit on some maltesers during the first act so Ihad to walk around with the wicked carrier bag during the interval. I got some pringles and chocolate ice cream.
Act 2 was absolutley amazing, again the cast where awesome. Wicked Witch of the East was amazing, Katie Rowley Jones is spectacular. All the songs were fabulous! I cried when Elphaba melted and I also cried during 'For Good' and I was very happy again when Elphaba came back with Fiyero =]
At the end of the show the applause was really loud which was great because they all did so well and and and we clapped for ages lol and we cheered when Helen and Kerry came on and they hugged, aww that was sweet =]
I wanted to go to the stage door but I had chocolate on my dress and school the next day so we found Victoria Station and went back to East Croydon Station where my dad picked us up and drove us home [me half asleep lol]
