Happy Is What Happens, When All Your Dreams Come True..*

Wendywendy, Wendy, Vicky, Mingoog, Amanda, Angie and I saw Wicked at Capitol theatre last night. It was just as fantastic as I remembered. I'm not entirely sure how a musical can get me on such a high, but hey. Who needs drugs when you've got costumes, lights, an awesome plot complete with romance, drama and tragedy, a full pit orchestra, and depressingly talented, amazing vocalists, all rolled into one? No drugs for me, thank you. But seriously, as soon as the first notes of "No one mourns the Wicked" started, I was all but bouncing in my seat with excitement 8D  

I think that the second time you go is almost better than the first time, in the sense that when the songs you know and love start playing, you're all like "OH MY GOD IT'S THAT SONG IT'S THAT SONG", and you want to reach over and tap the person next to you and tell them that it's "that song", and inform them how much you love it. I tried really, really hard to suppress my ridiculous excitement, and I think I did pretty well. But I couldn't help but poke Vicky once in the middle of Defying Gravity; it's one of my absolute favorites xD Not to mention that I fell in love with Amanda Harrison and her voice when we were in Melbourne. 

And of course, there was the kid sitting behind me, who kept making incredulous noises when Amanda and Rob kissed onstage... like the kid in the cinema when we went to see Twilight, only this kid didn't scream "IT'S PORN" at even the smallest whiff of romance. And the man who kept making these statements as though he was the most intelligent being in the world, just because he picked up on the Wizard of Oz references. Yeah dude, you're a genius. 

Oh, and we finally got our green drinks. Sweet victory. 

I'll definitely go see it again. Maybe... a couple matinees, cos apparently the standby cast sometimes do matinees, and I'd like to see them for variety and comparison... and a couple more shows at night ^^ There go my paychecks, but whatever. This production of Wicked is not gonna be around forever. Ways of making money however, are. Fair trade, methinks. 

Much love.
