Musicals.
In February Andy scored some excellent last-minute seats to Wicked, when his friend's wife couldn't go due to being deathly ill. Since I don't like musicals, he took Alex. Man, was she thrilled!
Last week Alex decided to redeem a gift card on the Wicked Soundtrack and I've actually been listening to it in my car in secret. "Mom, have you seen my Wicked Soundtrack?" she asked the other day, and I almost lied and said "yeah, you left it in my car."
Nah, I STOLE that mofo.
My objection to musicals was always the music. I was always the Husker Du type, so songs from rollicking musicals made my skin crawl. Yet, I find myself singing along loudly to Wicked, getting a feeling of exhilaration, goosebumps.
So, here's a song from Wicked that sums up my feelings on musical theater.
