Last night, two friends and I went to the Pantages Theater in Los Angeles to see the musical, "Wicked." For those who may be unaware of this play, it is the story of Oz before Dorothy and Toto got there and how the Wicked Witch came to be so wicked (and for those who read the book or already saw the play, the point is she is the good guy . . . er, gal). Props to Eden Espinosa who played Elphaba, the Wicked Witch - her singing was absolutely magnificent! If it comes on tour to a city near you, do go . . . it's worth it!And for you ladies - we went to dinner at Musso & Frank's beforehand . . . and saw Matt Damon! Dreamy . . .

Wicked started in Chicago, before in went to NYC.
Did I go?
No, no I did not.

I'll get there, eventually. I think tickets are still fairly difficult to get here.
I'm one of those unhappy folks that have a hard time enjoying a movie or a show AFTER reading the book. The letdown is inevitable. The only exception in recent memory is Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings film trilogy.
BTW, I thought I saw someone resembling you trying to teach a Caveman manners. That situation can only be remedied by an appeal to St. Jude.
Cheers,

I have heard this show is awesome! Lucky you! (you can keep Matt Damon though...!)
