It's on my to be read booklist. I didn't realise there was a film. <BR/>I too have a partner who is not into concerts, theatre, ballet etc, and I shy away from going alone. Maybe I should go instead of hoping a friend will be interested.Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09183608810275938495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927255541398478569.post-27357088468535598332008-02-19T22:24:00.000-05:002008-02-19T22:24:00.000-05:00My DD would be so jealous!

She wants to go see it sooooooo bad. Too bad it will never come to this area because I would take her in a heart beat.Tracy DeLucahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11741412524412723632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927255541398478569.post-17284301692629904912008-02-18T23:36:00.000-05:002008-02-18T23:36:00.000-05:00Thanks for stopping by my blog!

I, too, was a bit thrown off when I went to see Wicked, but it's good to shake things up ... and the performance was just amazing! *grin* DO go, even if it's solo ... or ask friends. Who knows? You might encourage them to try something new! :DLathariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13595430762072916892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927255541398478569.post-55615381284827948282008-02-18T22:10:00.000-05:002008-02-18T22:10:00.000-05:00Thanks for stopping by - I've been playing catch u...Thanks for stopping by - I've been playing catch up on real life and haven't had much blogging time lately. But I hope to put up a new post finally this evening.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile.... Wicked - I LOVED the book, LOVED the play and soundtrack (I've practically worn out my CD) It's one of those things where the two versions aren't really the same story. The book being dark and political, the play being about the transformative power of friends. I was able to see the play in SF with MY best friend and in some ways we are as opposite as Elphaba and Galinda. It might help you to know that Gregory Maguire was very pleased with play version.<BR/><BR/>Practical Magic is similar - the book is dark and gothic, the movie more upbeat - but I like both versions.Laumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02311615016374555526noreply@blogger.com
