It was a wonderfully stupid moment.

And next time I am having a dinner party for fifty, I will order two dinners to go from Mi Casa. I enjoyed, but damn that was a lot of food!

Be sure to order an extra side of cheese, will ya?

You know what bugged me about 'Wicked'?

Spoiler:

All in all, I loved the story from Elphaba's point of view. Some of the songs are good, some aren't. It's much more upbeat than the book...

For those of us not able to attend, what famous cushions are these you speak of?

The Orange County Performaning Arts Center has sets of leather ottomans that are against the walls in the lobby. We were waiting for eveyone to gather in the 2nd tier lobby and I decided to sit down. When I did, there was a fairly loud whoopie cusion noce that came from the seat. The people at the next set laughed and said "I did that too". I responded that I wasn't sure if I should just ignore it or if I sould do it again.

Well, like the mature adult I am, I did it again. Then, as our friends arrived, I precedded to invite them to sit down and literally pushed them down so they sat hard - making a wonderfully loud noise. We were all laughing so hard - like a bunch off 10 year olds.

After the show, Chris we were all standing in the lobby when Chris decided to sit down hard on a seat. The noise it made was INCREDIBLY loud and got the attention of everyone standing in the lobby. The looks of the faces of those around us were priceless.

It's certainly not something you regularly do in such a formal setting, but that didn't stop us one iota. God, it was funny.

I dunno. If Chris' was louder than the rest, I'd wager it was a real barking spider from the Euromonkey.

Oh no. I live with the guy, remember. This wasn't his own bark.

Ralphie thinks my barks are worse than my bites.

I'm glad I asked. That was a good story.

Wicked is one of those shows I really didn't relate to AT ALL from the CD. It wasn't till I saw it in the theatre that I even connected with it. Loved it in the theatre though. So now I appreciate the CD better (no longer trying to match songs with plot points from the book.)

Spoiler: Nessarose being evil and in a wheelchair AND she dies. I just think that's such a weird message. All in all, I loved the story from Elphaba's point of view.
