Kurt and I went on a date!

On Tuesday, me and my hubby, Kurt went out on a date. The last time we had gone out together was this past September for our anniversary and we went to the temple and did sealings. That was wonderful. This time we went out for dinner and a show.

We started the evening at the luxurious Arctic Circle. One of our faves.

I had to take all the pictures myself.

Dinner was awesome. Like I said, I love Arctic Circle. I also loved the price. It kind of balanced out the price we  paid to see a show. 

Now when I say a show, I mean a show and not a movie.

Are
 
you 

ready 

to 

see 

the 

title 

of 

the 

show
 
we 

went

to?

Well here it is:

Wicked!
Yes, I said Wicked!

We rode trax to the show. Here, we are waiting for the train. 
I thought it would be better to ride trax than fight all the traffic downtown but we spent more riding trax than what we would have if we paid for parking. Well, I guess we live and learn. Right?

Here is a view of the Capitol Theatre from across the street where we saw Wicked.
Don't you love how people are dressed in green? How fun!

Had to get a picture of Kurt with the sign.

And me too!

I had to take a picture of the chandelier inside because I thought it was so beautiful.

Well the show was amazing and, really, that is all I can say because if I go on about it I will be here all night long. Plus I don't think I could point out favorite parts because I loved it so much. It left me in awe. I don't know if I could say anything about it that would justify the show. So I just leave you with the word "amazing!"

This was my first time seeing a Broadway production. I thought they were lip syncing because it was so flawless. I have been to lots of musicals but not Broadway. I totally think it was so worth the money we spent. I would do it again. I so want to see more Broadway shows. I loved Wicked and now I am listening to the music on my MP3 player. The story was awesome and I want to see it again and again. I can't wait to see another Broadway show. I am sure we will because Kurt loves them and so do I now.

I am SO glad you guys had a fun date and got to see WICKED!
My hubby took me to see it last year in LA and it was such a FABULOUS show!! It is worth the cost - it is one of the best shows out there!!
What was your favorite part?

If you don't have it get the CD - I still listen to it all the time and it brings the show right back!

Happy for you!!

Yea for you! I too am JEALOUS! My MIL and SIL went and they loved it. Sorry I'm slow commenting, for some reason when you post it only shows up on my list after a day or two???? Curiously odd!
Anyway, I'm with Ann... you guys need to go on more dates girl!

My husband and I went and saw Wicked last year in Chicago and we were both FLOORED by how awesome it was. I couldn't get over the stage sets, costumes and of course music! Isn't it just awesome?! I think every family should take their teenage daughter to see Wicked - I love the message of being true to yourself. Anyways, I'm really glad you had the opportunity to see it too. Broadway musicals are my fav!

heather it was so good to see you, I know your day was busy and it must have been hard to fit it in.

I too am SO jealous (but happy for you!) That you saw Wicked! How fun.

Hope we can get together soon. Good luck on the house bid!
