wicked bro

so finally i went and saw wicked after however many months of people telling me that i should and blah blah blah...

needless to say it was great and fantastic, although it didnt blow me away like the lion king did... it was pretty cool to see all the little bits of wizard of oz mashed in and the fact that your old pal anthony callea was the tin man... and bloody rob mills was the scarecrow!!!

despite these two idols in the cast, they were actually pretty good... managing to carry off an impressive enough (i thought anyways) american accent...

it was all going good and i was grinning ear to ear when "defying gravity" came on.. and then something went wrong...

THE WICKED BITCH OF THE WEST DIDNT FLY!!!!

the whole time i was watching it... i was like,

"hmmm, it's cool.. but it would be heaps better if she was actually flying since she is singing about it..."

turns out that there was a fault on our night and the cabling or rigging system that lifts her and broomey up into the air wasn't working!!! ARGHHHH

anyways, it was a good night and probably will go back and try our luck with the raffle tickets... here are some pictures from inside the theatre with everyone leaving!!
