Wicked!

For Christmas, Kyhle asked my parents for tickets to go see Wicked...for my mom and I!  I was so confused when I opened the tickets, but Kyhle said that all he wanted was for mom and I to have a good time and take a picture for him to frame.  He said that seeing me happy was the best gift he could have asked for.  The week leading up to the show, he was just about as excited as I was!  He kept asking, "Are you ready?"  "Are you excited?"  He's pretty awesome.  I still feel so guilty that he won't be getting anything other than his stocking Christmas morning, and kept contemplating having my parent's get him gifts instead of me, but he kept telling me that it would hurt his feelings if I did that.  I'll make it up to him somehow.  

Well, YES, I was so excited!  I had no idea what to expect since I had never been to a show before.  My mom asked my dad to pick up our tickets downtown.  Little did she know, he asked the ticket lady for the best seats in the house, and we got to sit in the VIP box!  What a fun surprise! :)   I was blown away the entire show, and it was so hard not to sing along with them.  We tried so many times to have people take our photo, and I guess everyone is iPhone camera challenged.  We had about six tries, with six different people, but nothing really turned out that great.  They also didn't allow any photos inside the venue, so we couldn't get any of us with the stage.  Luckily, I snuck a quick photo of the stage before the show started.  Mom and I met downtown and had lunch at a restaurant on Mass Ave.  After the show, we went back to that restaurant for a yummy chocolate volcano slice of cake to share. We then walked along Mass Ave and browsed through some of their cute stores.  We had such a fun time.  I am definitely looking forward to seeing another Broadway show, hopefully sooner rather than later.  :)

We were sitting in the same balcony VIP section.  This is a photo of the one straight across from us.
