Yesterday I took my mom to see Wicked. It was awesome! I love Wicked! Eden Espinosa who played Elphaba and Megan Hilty who played Glinda - "with a Gah" were amazing. They are both extremely talented and have amazing voices and I watched the entire musical with a huge smile on my face. =DMy favourite part though was came at the end of the show. Elphaba and Glinda made an announcement that they were raising money to help people with AIDS and asked that we all contribute - cast members would be in the foyer collecting donations. As we were leaving I saw Carole Kane, who played Madame Morrible, in the center of the foyer with a pail collecting money. That absolutely made my night. Here she is, a famous actress, with a pail asking for donations to help those less fortunate than her. What a great example - showing that no matter who you are, that it's important to do what you can to help those less fortunate, those in need. A great birthday present from someone who didn't even know she was giving it to me.
A little clip.... one of my favorites from the musical.... enjoy =)
