I just returned from the airport where I dropped my niece Stacey off so she can fly back home to Atlanta. It was a great trip. We enjoyed having her here so much and already miss her. I have to go to work in a few hours but need to post about our time in Manhattan. We saw Wicked! and Spamalot. Wicked! was Stacey's favorite and due to better seats I think, I paid closer attention to and enjoyed it even more the 2nd time around. Stacey and I agreed however that Fiyero could not sing. He could act and was cute but could not sing.He is a pivotal character and for a Broadway show one would expect a certain caliber of singing. Otherwise the other actors including none other than Blanche Devereaux I mean Rue Mcclanahan did a splendid job.
Spamalot was also hilarious though the Lady of the Lake is no longer Sarah Ramirez (who was brilliant and won the Tony award for best featured actress) and Tim Curry is no longer King Arthur. The new actors did a fantabulous job and we were quite exhausted after our whirlwind day. Needless to say we ended our long day singing to the show tunes at the top of our lungs during the car ride home. Here are a couple of more pictures.

Oh my gosh! Charlie is so greeen with envy. He is currently reading Wicked, and he is anxiously awaiting the soundtrack and sheet music from Amazon which he bought all with his holiday money. Thank you, Uncles Ned and Stephen! He can't wait to see Wicked! live and in person. Maybe in June...
