Wicked!

Guess what I saw today...
Go on take a guess!
It's pretty gosh darn phenomenal! That's fo sho!
And it's wicked awesome!
So today Julie and I go to the Wicked lottery for the 5884092397174858989320 time. We figure, it's crappy weather and it's a matinee=not as many people=more likely to get picked. We were wrong, there weren't as many people, but we were still not picked because Wicked hates us. 

We decide to go to TKTS and get tickets to another show. Fantasticks is the longest running off-broadway show and it's fairly cheap at $43 a pop. We purchase the tickets and go into Olive Garden to get the yummy salad, soup and breadsticks lunch. We dine and stuff ourselves silly on those delish breadsticks when a woman comes up to us and asks if we'd like tickets to go see the Wicked matinee. Our jaws drop and we stare at each other. ARE YOU FREAKIN SERIOUS! Apparently the lady and her daughter's names were both called but the people they were going to go with in addition to themselves were unable to attend. Julie and I ask if we can talk about it for a minute and we'll come and get her in a few minutes. She says yes.

"Julie, it's Wicked."

"I know but then we'd be spending like $70 on tickets today! And we'd be wasting the Fantasticks..."

"Okay it's up to you, I know you've seen Wicked and it is a lot of money. Whatever you want to do I'm okay with."

"Dang Maddie.... I don't know what to do!"

"It is Wicked... and we have been trying forever..."

"You know my brother once asked if he could exchange his tickets for Fantasticks for a different night... maybe we can do that! Okay let's get the Wicked tickets and see if we can go another weekday night to Fantasticks!"

"YAY!!! WICKED!!!"

And thus we found ourselves the owners of a pair of tickets to Wicked and fully exchangeable tickets for Fantasticks (to be used this Friday). Wicked was amazing. Life is good.
