On Saturday, Tracy and I made our way into the city to go see the musical Wicked: The Untold Story of the Witches of Oz for her birthday celebration. It was a really fun day and evening. I was completely astounded at the level of production on all levels from the intricate stage designs to the music to the story line and was highly entertained the entire time. I think the flying monkey’s may have been the most difficult to pull off, and they were amazing! The acrobatics that they displayed, the sounds they produced and the monkey-like movements all made for a very believable monkey!
If you haven’t seen this production and you’re really into musicals, I’d highly recommend it… if you’re not into musicals, I still think you’d really like this one. It’s great!
After Wicked, we walked around the city for a while and ended up finding a nice place to eat a fantastic fondue dinner. (We almost had to be rolled out of the restaurant!) We couldn’t even make it to the chocolate fondue for dessert, but our wonderful waiter brought us out a small platter of it just for us to taste… it was heavenly! Maybe the best chocolate I’ve ever eaten!
It was great to get into the city and walk around and spend some quality time together. It’s something that we both wished we would have done more when we lived in the northern suburbs a few years ago. But, even if it wasn’t as possible then as it is now we’re glad to take hold of the opportunity now! (Better late than never right?!)
