Wicked

Fifteen years after it's original debut, we finally made it to Wicked on Broadway this weekend.  It was a spectacular show and no surprise why it was such a hit and why it continues such a strong run.   With seats in the front and center orchestra, we were treated to a spectacular show and as with so many theater productions the ending left me a little teary eyed and overwhelmingly glad to have had the opportunity to witness such brilliance.

An excerpt from the final song, "For Good":

I've heard it said

That people come into our lives for a reason

Bringing something we must learn

And we are led

To those who help us most to grow

If we let them

And we help them in return

Well, I don't know if I believe that's true

But I know I'm who I am today

Because I knew you...   

Like a comet pulled from orbit

As it passes a sun

Like a stream that meets a boulder

Halfway through the wood

Who can say if I've been changed for the better?

But because I knew you

I have been changed for good.
