So tonight... I went to see Wicked! with Dave and the sisters Levich.... and can I just say that for a tour it was fucking amazing... granted I really didn't like the woman who played Glinda, or the guy who played Fiyero but whatever it was still hella good.... best suprise ever I open the program expecting to see Stephanie Block headlining as Elphaba... but instead.... IT WAS FUCKING EDEN ESPINOSA WHO HAD BEEN UNDERSTUDYING FOR IDINA WHEN SHE WAS THERE AND I SAW HER ONCE BEFORE WHEN IDINA GOT SICK MID PERFORMANCE!!!!! LIKE OMFG!!!!!!!! like i had heard Stephanie Block's voice before and I was not terribly excited to see her in that role but EDEN ESPINOSA IS LIKE THE NEXT BEST THING TO IDINA MENZEL!!!! She was quite good although I was disappointed because her performance seemed to have peaked long before Defying Gravity and she seemed to be having some sort of vocal problem cuz she actually cracked a few notes but otherwise she was pretty amazing... the sets were like identical to the broadway shiznit and it was just as elaborately costumed... best show tour I have ever seen that's for sure... anyways afterwards we went to Jardiniere for desert... HELLA FUCKING GOOD... as always... my most favoritest desert (Strawberries and Cream Napoleon) was on the menu, and of course dave insisted on ordering chesse the bulk of which we didn't eat but whatever... good food... great company... hella fun time... the end
P.S. If you weren't able get tickets for this leg of the tour... I'm sorry... no idea what you're missing
P.P.S My throat really hurts from belting the soundtrack with Jane on the way home haha
