I was so excited to see Wicked again--I saw the touring cast last August inj San Francisco and was extremely impressed with the actress playing G(a)linda (Kendra Kassebaum, who's now playing in the Broadway cast, I believe)...I was less impressed by Eden Espinosa but it may just have been an off night. Anyway, I dragged my law school friends who like musical theatre to check it out. Stay tuned for the good, the bad, and the ugly......

Written by Sarah

Wicked, one of the most popular shows on Broadway today, tells the tragic story of what really happened before Dorothy dropped in. Based on the novel by Gregory Maguire, Elphaba (the name based on the initials of the original author of the Wizard of Oz books, L. Frank Baum), a misfit because of the green color of her skin, is sent to Shiz University to take care of her sister Nessarose. When the teacher of the Sorcery Seminar learns that Elphaba has special powers, she takes her on as a student, and Elphaba begins to feel her life change. With the addition of a new perky roommate, a crush on the hottest rebel in the school, and a chance to see the most powerful man in Oz, the story takes many twists and turns to end with a very satisfying finish.

Let’s start at the very beginning…
On November 18th, I signed with a new manager, Divine Talent. I’m still with my old one, as well, but having two gives me more audition opportunities. So two or so weeks after I signed with them, I got a phone call from Divine. The lady on the other end said that they had a job for me on Law and Order: SVU. (Agents get you auditions, while managers help you get an agent or a better agent, and sometimes, they also get you extra jobs.) I was really excited, but my mom wasn’t home, and my dad isn’t much help in these matters. I told them that I’d most likely be able to do it, and they said they’d call back the next day.
When my mom got home, I raced up to her and said, “Please, tell me I’m not doing anything on Friday!” She confirmed that I wasn’t. I was so excited! One of the main reasons I was so elated was because I had gotten two calls for Law and Order from my other manager/agent and couldn’t go to either.
So on December 8th, my mom and I were off to the New York City set of Law and Order: SVU. I was sooo excited, and so were all of my friends, being crazy fans of the show. We left at about 6:30 in the morning and got there around ten o’clock. I brought my acting journal to document my adventure and this is what I wrote:
