On the Eight day of Christmas Patty's true live gave to her a chance to go and see "Wicked". Lizzy also tagged along for this event along with two of her closest friends from Atlanta while they were here. Unfortunately flash photography was not permitted inside the premises of the play so we were not allowed to take any photos. However, it was a wonderful time. The music of the show speaks for itself in that it was truley breathtaking. Anyone who has seen the show is amazed by the dynamics of these beautiful arrangements. The actors had such control over their voices allowing them to sing with perfection at any volume. This ability allowed for breathtakingly quite sounds to be followed by the powerful reach of the actors voice to complete a wonderful and stylish performance. Beyond the music was the stage, there was so much going on you could barely keep up. There were multiple levels followed by entering props from all sides. Lets be real, anytime a person can fly on stage that is pretty cool. The imagination and uniqueness of the text was profound. It encompasses all the wonderful beauty of the "The Wizard of Oz" and gives it a wonderful twist to show the wicked witchs' point of view. What an excellent plot. A plot which christians and many other religious people have a lot to gain from spiritually as well as temproally. The excitement during the show was like actually being part of the show itself. As you can all tell I have nothing bad to say about the show other than the price of the tickets. Thanks Mama and Papa for the presents we love you both!
On the Ninth day of Churstmas Patty's true love gave to here a wonderul evening full of fun at the "Rocketts at Radio City." This also happend to be on Patty's birthday the 20th that we went. I will not go into specific detail but the show was fantastic. Dancing has never been my strong suit so I love to see it be done well. There was no photography allowed in this show either, but this did not stop the Russian family in front of us from recording the entire show and taing about 20 photos. It was annoying to say the least. This is a true New York Chrsitmas event. I would like to go again.
Radio City was a special night. It is something that alot of people dream of seeing around Christmas time. From the scene where there are 55 dancers all dressed in old military uniforms doing marching manuvers to the Santa Clause with his 55 stunning reindeer dancing, what a timeless peice of New York tradition. Patty and I loved it!
