Wicked, 2nd time around.

So last night Lia, JP, & I went to go watch Wicked!! When we arrived at Pantages, I swear I just felt like I was there the day before; then again, I WAS just there 3 and a half weeks ago, haha. This time I made sure I wore a thick jacket because last time I was dying b/c their air conditioner is always on BLAST. I was thankful I came prepared this time. Our seats were really good; we had Orchestra Left Center, Row T...I forgot what our seats were haha but we were in the middle somewhat. I actually had a clearer view of the stage than last time. Although were were slightly to the left, I could see the faces and costumes a whole lot more in detail. It was nice. The only problem I had was sitting next to a challenged person because all he said throughout the entire show was, "somethingsomethingblahblahblah fuck yeah!" Yup. The entiiiire time. Poor guy. I mean, he was all leaning on me too so I kinda had to lean towards Lia throughout the whole performance. The mom apologized if her son was of any disturbance, but I told her, "Oh no no no, it's no problem; I totally understand." Anyways, about the show, it was a different Glinda this time, played by Emily Rozek (who is Elphaba's stand-by). She was hilaaaarious. I think she was funnier than the first Glinda I saw because she was soooooooo cute! HAHA. So ditzy and blonde. Haha.







And Teal Wicks! Aw man, she was really sick. I could tell. When she sang "The Wizard and I" she cracked when she was singing the end line with "the wizard....and I--" she had to cut it off. I felt bad for her! Because when she sang "Defying Gravity," she put her entire HEART into perfecting the song, which she did. I teared up again this time, and I had that smile on my face again. Haha. But during intermission, there was an announcement that, "Due to Teal Wick's illness, blahblahblah will be playing Elphaba for the 2nd portion of the show." I don't remember her name, but she was also amazing as well. Very very good performance. I loved it, like always, but during the 2nd half, all I could seriously think about was fooooooood. food food and food. I was starving :[

We went to McD's somewhere in Studio City since I wanted to take JP & Lia back to the train station where their car was. I felt so relieved but so sick once I started driving back home. Haha. But overall, I was thankful I felt a whole lot better last night to go see the performance. It was breathtaking, like last time! :] Except I wish Teal Wicks performed the whole thing. I love her. I'm looking forward to taking Janelle next month! HOPEFULLY! haha. And Lia & I are already planning to go see Phantom of the Opera since she got another discount code. Lucky me, haha. :] I know JP wants to see it; Mark as well. I can't wait!






Hello, my name is Calee. I may have the same interests as many others, but I'm really different. I don't judge by looks or status. I get along with everybody, but I prefer to just associate with those who are open-minded and can really understand who I am and where I came from. I have a good life living with my boyfriend Mark. He's the best boyfriend ever; he's intelligent, focused, and he takes the best care of me. One thing that everyone knows about me is that I LOVE DOGS. I don't party much or get drunk whatsoever, but that doesn't stop me from having fun. I love food (who doesn't?), and I love sight-seeing, shopping, watching movies, singing, going to amusement parks, or watching shows. These blogs should give you a hint of what life's like: BUSY! Work, school, dogs, Mark, and all that good junk.
