Basically, I had an incredible opportunity to see Wicked recently. I've been in a Bible Study for the past 5 months with some incredible ladies from my church. Two of them happen to be Broadway superstars. One of them has been playing the role of Glinda in Wicked for some time now and recently had her final performance. We got to go see her perform during her last week. It was my 3rd time to see Wicked and it is always an excellent show but this was by far my favorite experience. Katie was incredible and it was just so fun to see her in this role - she fits it perfectly and is so very good at it. We had excellent seats at half-price and then we got to go backstage afterwards and visit with Katie in her dressing room and then she gave us a fabulous tour of the stage and she told us all their tricks and showed us all the fun props and such. The evening was finished with an exit out the stage door where a crowd of people were waiting to see Katie herself and get her picture or autograph. It was all so much fun!
That's Katie in the white dress and the rest of our Bible Study crew
Katie told us that she pumped up the cast that night by occasionally shouting out throughout the evening "Let's do it for the church ladies!!!" Hilarious!
P.S. For my Chicago readers, Katie recently made a tough decision to spend the next 4 months doing the Wicked tour. She'll be in LA most of that time, but there is a short time that you can catch her as Glinda in Chicago! I'm not sure of the dates, but I can find out if you're interested.
