The Ugly Duckling: A Wicked Good Time

Larry had worked several days during those fires that swept through Southern California a couple of weeks ago. In fact he was supposed to be off for 10 days and well . . . it just didn't happen. When he did come home we decided we needed a family day so we loaded up and headed to Legoland for a few hours. Being that we are pass holders to Legoland, this is a fun little get away. While standing in line and thinking of the week ahead I realized that we were both off the next day which was Friday. Lately a day where we are both off is very rare. I looked at him and asked, "If I can line up all the childcare, can we go to Wicked tomorrow?" This was probably the most random thing. I mean we hadn't even been talking about it or had we talked about it in weeks. He was like "what?" then I repeated myself. He asked how much he thought it would cost and I said I honestly don't know, but if it's the next day they would rather sell the seats for less than not sell them at all. So I made some calls, lined up the care, got great seats at a killer rate and off to LA we went! Poor Larry had an 'idea' of what Hollywood would look like. He was wrong! It's dirty and there are bums everywhere and freaks walk around freely without handlers. Desiring to see something of what he thought "LA" would look like, we went into Beverly Hills, where I think his faith was restored . . . somewhat.

Wicked was AMAZING!!! It closes in January and if you have the chance, go see it! It's well worth the trip!! Afterwards we found out that the cast comes out and signs autographs, so we got to meet almost the entire cast!

The only person we didn't meet was Megan Hilty she was visiting with family backstage and was going to be awhile. Seeing that it was already midnight and we had at least an hour and half drive, we left.
