WICKED DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I just have to say that I have once again confirmed that Wicked is my most favorite thing in the whole world. I'm thinking it's safe to say that I'd pretty much give up anything else to go see Wicked. Seriously.
I was really excited to go, but nervous at the same time because I was really afraid they cast wasn't going to be as good as my favorite cast. They were, in fact, just as good....and it was really cool and very interesting to see how they interpretted the characters differently.
So if you live in southern California, or if you just plan to visit sometime in the near future (hint, hint: Kerri, Terry, Emmy, Monica, etc) you must go see it!!! I know we will definitely be seeing it a few more times while it's here. =)
And now for the pictures that you all requested......
