Wicked
Finally won tickets to go see Wicked last night, front row center, right behind the conductor (who by the way was hilarious). Total damage: $25 a ticket.
Not bad.
The show was pretty good. Gasteyer was good, although she overacted a lot, always making a face or bulging her eyes even when it wasn't entirely necessary. She can sing though, which caught me off guard.
The costumes were awesome, lots of detail and very original. I did notice that they were kind of bulky (especially at the outset), but that's because they had their next change on underneath. They still looked amazing.
The set was just as incredible, no complaints at all there.
The star of the show was Galinda, played by Kate Reinders. She was amazing. She clearly lost herself in the role and was "on" the whole time. An incredible performance, plus she shows off her voice and the different things she can do with it. What a talent!
