This Tuesday, February 13, I saw the national tour of Spelling Bee in Birmingham, Alabama. It was AMAZING, and if anyone has the opportunity to see the show, I would HIGHLY recommend seeing it.
I bought the soundtrack about a year ago, and I loved it. When I found out it was coming to Birmingham, I got tickets the day they were available. I went with my entire family, and we had seats in the last row of the orchestra pit. (They were PERFECT)
For those of you who don't know, the show is about a Spelling Bee, and the characters are aged between elementary school and 8th grade.

There is also the "Comfort Counselor" Mitch Mahoney, who is serving community service hours by giving the eliminated kids a hug and a box of apple juice. The spellers include:

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.
