i'd be so happy i could melt
Wicked was absolutely phenomenal! I will say I was more than a bit bummed walking into the theatre because Julia Murney wasn't performaning at the show but rather the Elphaba stand-by, Victoria Matlock. My disappointment was quickly washed away as I quickly became immersed in the setting and songs.
My seat was great - about five rows back on the right-hand side. The only viewing problems I had were seeing Elphaba's back during "As Long As Your Mine" and seeing the "mechanics" of Elphaba's levetating during "Defying Gravity." No biggies.
I wish I could say more but I still can't find words that adequately describe the experience Wicked was for me. Magical, maybe. I honestly felt like a giddy little kid watching it. I wish I could see it again. And again and again and again.
UPDATE - 9:19am
Although I missed seeing her, I did pick up Julia Murney's CD. It's incredible. "I'm Not That Girl" is on it so I at least get a little taste of what could have been.
