Saturday found this contradancing fiddler, two sisters, friend on the train to Boston to see the musical "Wicked" at the Boston Opera House. What a fabulous time we had together. The Downeaster is a fun way to travel, all our attention was focused on talking, laughing, and having Bloody Mary's for breakfast! I wonder if the great Oz ever started his day with this much festivilicious excitement :) We walked around Quincy Market, ate at Cheers, then walked down to the Opera house. What can I say, the show was more than amazing. Three hours and it was as though it had just started, that's how smooth and entertaining it was for all of us. Definitely gives pause to preconceived ideas about being wicked, or any other labels we give ourselves and others... there's always more to the story and with knowledge comes understanding. Insight into the wizard's walk, how the witches characters developed, and many other "Aha" moments that lead up to the original storyline... how DID those monkeys start flying anyway (yeah, you could know the answer to that too)... Anyway, if you have the opportunity to see the show, I highly recommend it. These tickets were a birthday gift from Deb, she outdid herself in the gift department this year, going way over the top, but THANKS nonetheless! After the show, we walked back to North Station, in time to have a couple beers at a nearby pub. Late night after a long day, but something the four of us will remember forever.
Wizard's Walk is a tune from the Portland Collection.
