Sunshine Wicked

Jan 04, 2009 23:34

Back to normal positive things, I finally saw Sunshine by Danny Boyle.  I really loved it as a dream piece, and really appreciated the depictions of space (particularly the sun) in all its god-like glory.  I wish I saw it on the big screen just for the look and feel alone.  I also liked its message, that of only having one chance in life and to go all the way.  At least that was what I took away from it.  And I loved the cast.

Also, Kazu and I saw Wicked one more time as a night out with our family, followed by a fancy schmancy dinner at Yamashiro.  It was great to hang out with my two mothers (ha!) and new grandparents in laws.  Right from the time the first note was hit, I had tears running down my face, I forgot how damn good that show was.  And when Eden Espinosa sings -- wow!  She has absolute, impeccable control over her voice.  She is a singer/athelete, since it takes no less than a sort of athleticism to sing the songs in that musical the way she does multiple times a week, sometimes twice a day.  I really hope she gets more popular and makes more recordings of her voice, because it's a true gift.

Today was a nice break from writing, but I'm still on chapter 17 and my deadline's Feb. 17 (my own deadline).  Rema awaits.
