Amanda and I have been crossing things of our NYC Bucket list left and right but one of the things still on our to do list was to see another Broadway show, preferably Wicked. When Amanda was temping she met a bunch of actors who told her that many of the Broadway shows do a lottery for discounted tickets the same day of a show. Since I had to work, she decided to try her luck and wait in line to put her name in for the drawing at Wicked's Gershwin Theater. Well, we didn't get tickets the first try so a few days later she decided to go again. No luck the second time so she tried for a third. Surely, the third time would be the charm, right? Wrong, we didn't get tickets a third time either. There weren't many days left before Amanda returned to Atlanta so my mom surprised us both with the most amazing tickets for Friday night. She said if we agreed to pay $60 each, she would front us the rest of the money for the tickets. Of course we said yes, they were front row mezzanine tickets for Wicked on a Friday night. Amanda had seen the show five years ago in Atlanta when they went on a national tour and I saw it at the Gershwin in New York last March when Michael and I came up for spring break. We got dressed up for a night on the town and headed uptown to the theater. Amanda got an awesome souvenier shirt before the show started and we made sure to take lots of pictures to document our night. The show was just as incredible the first time around and I highly suggest it to anyone wanting to see a Broadway show in New York City. Not only is the music and lyrics some of the strongest, but the plot is really amazing and it's so interesting how the story fits together with The Wizard of Oz. Go see the show, you will not be disappointed.
