WICKED!!!

Tim and I and Alisa went to see Wicked last month–and it was Ah-mazing!  We decided to take Alisa (our Nanny who has become part of our family) as a joint Birthday/Christmas gift as well as part of my Birthday gift since we all really wanted to go.  Tim and I had seen it once before, when it came to town a few years ago, so I was worried I might not like it quite as much, but I was wrong!  It was just as fantastic the second time.  The music is so catchy and the characters have such personality–I find it quite entertaining.  I continued to replay the music and scenes in my head for days.

Amusingly, we ended up sitting RIGHT next to our church friends–funny huh?  We knew they were going to the same show (because Tim had mentioned it on Facebook and they quickly asked how they could order tickets too) so I hoped we would run into them… and we certainly did!  It was their first time seeing it, as well as Alisa’s first time, so it was delightful to talk with all of them about their thoughts and impressions of the show.

Since we went to the matinee we had time to stop afterwards for supper on our way home.  We went to this cute Italian restaurant in Eden Prairie called Biaggi’s.  They served bread before the meal–which is one of my favorite things, if a restaurant does that they definitely make the top of my list!–and then I ordered the Butternut Squash Ravioli and it was seriously SCRUMPTIOUS!  We enjoyed laughing and talking about the show and eating out delicious food.  We’re sure going to miss Alisa next year when she goes off to College…

I would say, all in all, it was a fantastic outing!
