That's good news for our youngest who graduates in May wants to do regional theatre for the summer and then move to NY.
OK, about Wicked last night.
It was very good. It's tough to compare it to the Original Broadway cast that I saw, but the show, if not as good, was nearly so.
Pretty much exactly what you expect from a good touring company. Most of the participants have fairly extensive NY credits of their own.
I don't feel like writing a critique this morning, but sufice to say that there was a particularly weak (male) character, and the two (female) leads were outstanding -- better than the originals in a few things and weaker in others.
We sat next to a family of about eight who had flown in from Salt Lake City to see the show (including a high school theatre student) and they were absolutely thrilled. That was really run.
