London - Wicked

London was so different than being in the United States. We saw Wicked 4 times and I enjoyed it just as much each time! Idina Menzel, Helen Dallimore, Martin Ball, Miriam Margoyles, Katie Rowley Jones, James Gillan, Nigel Planer and Adam Garcia was amazing! I think they are some of the best actors and actresses that I have ever seen. I loved it. It was so heartbreaking watching Idina and Helen interact. It was not just them saying goodbye to each other as Elphaba and Galinda, but as two real good friends. When Helen was up in her bubble sobbing, your heart went out to her and we cried with her.

We also met some great people while we were there. We are going to try to keep in touch with them throughout the year, maybe even meet them in LA or New York this year. Who knows!

All I know is that the people in London move fast and are in great shape. They walk everywhere and have the best transportation! They walk up and down stairs all day and barely ever eat! I will admit that the food in the United States appeals to me more. And everything is expensive there. There is a pretty poor exchange rate right now. It did not stop us from doing anything though.

One sore spot, I did lose my camera and we had to buy a new one. I was so sad because it had my first two days in London on there. Many great Wicked pictures on it. Gone!
