Have I mentioned my love for Wicked? I’m sure it’s come up once or twice in this blog since I’ve now seen it an obsessive six times. I took Donald to see it tonight, and I swear it’s just as good the sixth time as it was the first. I’ve seen four women play Elphaba and my favorite by far is Eden Espinoza. She’s back in the cast now (she left last December to to New York to be in my second favorite play, Rent), though her understudy, Vicki Moon, played the role tonight. She did a great job, actually, and I’d say she’s my second favorite of those I’ve seen. Donald enjoyed it as well, though not as passionately as I did. His favorite play is still Phantom of the Opera, which just happens to be coming to LA in January. I’ve only seen it once, so I’ll be excited to go see it again.

Tomorrow I get to sleep in and be a bum until the early afternoon. Thanksgiving is my least favorite holiday (let’s just say I dislike it with the same passion the I love Wicked) so I’d love to sleep through the whole day. Sadly, I have to pretend not to be anti-social, so I’ll be going over to Donald’s sisters house to choke down a traditional thanksgiving meal. (I’m sure the food will be excellent for those people who actually like the food. I’m also sure his sister is a great cook, and my “choking down” of the food is not at all a commentary about her. I’ll only be choking it down because I don’t like the food, but I don’t want to cause a fuss.) I really like his family, so aside from the food portion, the day should be great fun. I hope every one of you has a great day as well!
