One ticket to see the musical Wicked: £20
Transportation: Free
Somewhere to stay after the show: N/A
Finally finding the ONE thing that is cheaper to do in London than in the US: Priceless
Well we all got up early on Friday for Les Miserables tickes. However, the only ones that were left were the most expensive seats in the house and the worst seats in the house. Luckily, before we dropped down £50 or agreed to sit in the last row behind a pole, the man at the box office suggested we come back on a weekday because they have much more availability then and we can get tickets for half price. We were still dying to see a show, though, so we made the trip across the city to the Victoria Apollo theatre, where Wicked is playing. They still had a few of the cheaper seats available and so Emily, Amanda, Heidi and I snapped them up.
The show was amazing! It was different hearing the characters' slight accents but I love the music so much. This production's Glinda wasn't as strong as the one I had seen in Chicago but Elphaba was wonderful. There is no better moment than the end of "Defying Gravity," when she is flying above the stage. Amanda and Emily had never seen the show, but they really seemed to like it. It was so nice to all get dressed up an see a show.
This morning, though, was a little bit of a disaster. I had trouble starting up my computer, which had been hibernating so I turned it off. However, it just froze at the welcome screen and wouldn't finish loading. Making matters worse, there was a message saying that the settings couldn't be loaded because of a lack of permission or corrupt file. Yikes. So, I took my computer upstairs and Heidi (not the Heidi that came to the musical) and Dan because I thought they might be able to help. Eventually, it did start up but my background had been reset and ALL of my files were gone. I thought it was a disaster. Luckily, after enless minutes of waiting Heidi was able to reset my computer to the way it was yesderday and everything is fine. I was sooo scared.

That's awful, Liz. I'm so happy things are back to normal. And Wicked!!! that's wicked awesome. Didn't see THAT coming, did you?
Also read some of your other posts - your English major is sure giving you that writing knack. They're both informative, insightful, and quite entertaining. Kudos!
Take care, girlie!
My sister and I went to see Wicked on April 18. She bought us tickets for my birthday. It was amazing! If you haven’t seen it, you should go!! The singing was incredible!! So before you go, it would be better to compare tickets prices, coz the prices are often sky rocked. I used not to do that before, but now I find it interesting idea and it’s FREE!!Here is the link:
