I can see what you mean though, it isn't for everyone. <br /><br />Julie- I'm sure you'll enjoy it and hope you post about it! It was a good production and very entertaining. Just different than what I was expecting.

I too am a fan of the book's darkness, and am worried I may be turned off by the show, but (esp. after reading your post) I'm going to try to go in expecting it to be lighter and more family friendly, and hopefully I won't miss the Nazi illusions and interracial love affairs so much.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14558132244688635245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31809533.post-79048505619961518342007-02-02T14:15:00.000-06:002007-02-02T14:15:00.000-06:00Uh, YAH, I read the post.

I guess I ...Ya know, I never did finish that book. I guess I wasn't in the right frame of mind for "Wicked" because I did not find it riveting and edgy and awesome like others have. Hrm. <br /><br />But I would have loved to see it done on the stage.

Both were really good and I would tell anyone to read them but Wicked was easily the best one. <br /><br />Mom- You can't borrow it cause Monica lost it, didn't you read the post? I think she either still has or lost Ugly Stepsister too. She's lucky I love her so much.Foofahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11490919763408427647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31809533.post-63002474754536318492007-02-02T12:19:00.000-06:002007-02-02T12:19:00.000-06:00Oh, phooey!

I ...Johnny- I haven't heard Hejira, maybe I should. I am very torn between Blue and Ladies of the Canyon. It really depends on my mood. The sad thing is I always put my glasses in the same place too, I just forgot to go to that place...right by my bedside.<br /><br />Oh, the joys- You should see it and could probably bring the kids. It does retain some elements of seriousness but easily palatable. Or ditch them and have a fun grown-up night. Both are good plans. <br /><br />Blondie- I try to always bring the honesty. I honestly wouldn't have gone if it weren’t free. If I paid I would have been sad but for a free show I was happy.<br /><br />Friend- That isn't even one of the better ok songs in the play. I am real sorry for you.<br /><br />Mom- Book certainly, and then you can give me the copy cause mine is gone. Play sure, cause you like to do stuff. I bet there are cooler plays though.Foofahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11490919763408427647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31809533.post-68477942728106161802007-02-02T09:37:00.000-06:002007-02-02T09:37:00.000-06:00I'm jealous -- sounds like great fun!

I do not actually like musicals (all the singing makes me nervous), and since there is a LOT of singing and no evil darkness, I just saved myself a lot of money!! :) Thank you for an honest review. The books kicks ASS though.Blondiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01903668054657873042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31809533.post-41368561714212471972007-02-01T13:32:00.000-06:002007-02-01T13:32:00.000-06:00So jealous.

I have to put my glasses in a specific place so I can find them in the morning-- I can't even see them, to put them on and got to the washroom and put my contacts in. I wouldn't even be able to find my car, let alone drive it without them.Johnny Yenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06561248220244037567noreply@blogger.com
