Saturday in the City
On Saturday, we made good on our holiday gift coupon for my nieces. First, Jon and I took them to "Behind the Emerald Curtain," a behind-the-scenes look at "Wicked." The girls saw the show in London last year — lucky them! — and the older of the two is getting involved in drama department things in school. So we thought it would be the perfect outing. But we weren't really sure what to expect. Would there be 10 people? Or 100? Well, the usher said they were expecting 140 that morning. (Who knew it was so popular?) Here are a couple of the costumes that we got to see up close:
When you find out that some of the costumes weigh 20 pounds, it makes it that much more impressive that the performers can sing and dance and run around the way they do!
After "Behind the Emerald Curtain," we headed to The Slanted Door for lunch. Yum.
Although this dessert was described on the menu as "chocolate angel food cake," um, it's clearly a giant Ho Ho, right? And by the way, that peanut swirl ice cream was ridiculously good.
