My Latest Obsession

I know I am terribly behind the times and most of you have probably heard of it, had your fill and moved on. Not me. I only recently heard the music and became interested in knowing exactly what this musical is all about. It's a little difficult to guess what the plot line really is by listening to the soundtrack. So I took a visit the library to check out the book off of which it is based. There was a 2 month waiting list which luckily only lasted 3 weeks. I read the book, liked it but still was wanting to discover the changes that were made from the book to the stage. I was able to find a pretty detailed description of the plot online (including all the spoilers) and then last week I was goofing around on YouTube and found that someone had put the entire musical on there!! I don't know whether it's legal or not but I'm halfway through watching it and can't wait to finish. I know it's not a high quality video but since the chances of me actually paying $300 dollars to see the play while it's in SLC are slim to none (mostly none) I'll take what I can get!

Sammie- I can't find your phone number but wanted to let you know that we're all sick and need to reschedule! We didn't make it to church yesterday, and I don't want to share our cold with your whole fam. I'm so sorry! Pat tried to message Keith- so I'm hoping one of you will get our attempts to electronically communicate with you in time. Maybe next week?

Ok, I am TOTALLY obsessed with Wicked! I sing to it in the car all of the time. I am not suprised that you love it too, it is just awesome! You should by the piano music book for it, you would have a lot of fun with it. I am pretty sure that Jon is so tired of it, but oh well, I can't get enough!

I love the soundtrack too and I so wish I could see the musical. I'm definitely going to have to get on Youtube.

PS - you'll have to tell Laura I said hi and that I'd like to check out her blog. If you have her email I can send her an invite to mine or give her my email or something.. :)
