G'bye, Weekend
Sep. 25th, 2011 11:43 pmJust got home from seeing Wicked with my mom. It was her birthday present from which I profited greatly. WOW! I'm so glad I didn't know a thing about the story. I felt a tear pop out of my eye onto my cheek at the end! And the crowd was So enthusiastic, and rightly so! It was so nice to feel like swooning while surrounded by people who were also swooning.
Plus, sitting next to me were two men who were too muscly and tidy to be straight, but whose biceps were....inspiring. They didn't captivate me long, just in passing. Wicked is *that* good ;-)
It occurred to me on the way home, though, that Wicked is fanfiction. And the musical is like "Fanfiction: the Musical" if you kwim. The story is backstory and missing scenes...just like the best fanfic!
I had to force myself not to get shippy and recast the the play with my OTPs...
( Cut for TL/DR )
