Back in January, Kim got us tickets for my birthday to the musical Wicked in Chicago, which we saw today.
For those who don't know, Wicked is the story of the witches of Oz before Dorothy came. The whole backstory is twisted on its head and is pretty interesting, casting Glinda, The Wizard, and the "Wicked Witch of the West" in very different lights.
It's a great production, with elaborate set pieces and memorable songs. We both highly recommend it should you have the opportunity!
A shot from my cameraphone of the Wicked stage prior to the show. The giant dragon above is a puppet that lit up, moved and emitted smoke whenever magic occurred.
