my fellow oz-ians


The big day finally came!



Fourth Row Seats
Every show was sold-out!

The drummer has his own fan club

"Every show, every town!" he says...

Curtains up for a great show!

But, after the show, they made an announcement:

The cast, still in costume, went in 
and through, and amongst the audience....

Twice a year, Actors Equity Association 
(Broadway Caresdoes this, to raise $$ for AIDS
And this was one of the times!

So I actually got to go backstage at Wicked!
For a donation - for a great cause, of course!

Kevin (this guy) says "No cameras backstage"
for copyright reasons. Plus people were dressing.
Getting ready for the next show.
(I was at the matinee...)

But I did get to see all the props and gizmo things and everything!
They had all kinds of cute silly little things all over the place!

The whole town has Wicked Fever!

Wish wish wish you were here!!
There's no place like home, eh?

  2. Glad you had fun and supported a good cause!

    As far as the Kay's Naturals Sweet BBQ Mix, the nutritional particulars are here: http://www.dietdirect.com/kays-naturals-protein-chips-snacks.html

    The protein/carb is nicely balanced, and ith as 5 sugars per bag of 120 cals.

    I love salty, and when I have a really salty craving, this sort of snack cuts it.

    Kay's has really nice protein cereals--the vanilla is my fave, but the apple cinnamon is nice, like Apple Jacks for grownups. :D

    Thanks for the visit!

  6. Allan -
    Would that be "Whiz -O- Mania"
    From water drinking?!
    Instead of "WiZ" as in the Wizard!?
    Or both?
    ;)

  17. The whole town DID have Wicked Fever!!! I had it too and saw the show last Thursday. I was thrilled and loved how the Center had the green lights outside. This totally changes my perspective on the WOZ -- I'll never watch it the same way again.
