A couple months ago, my work made a consorted effort as a group to try to win the option to purchase tickets to the Utah Broadway production of "Hamilton" and I too, was unsuccessful like the rest of the group. To make it up to myself, I wanted to get tickets to the Utah Broadway Production of "Wicked". I talked to Kevin and he said I should get 4 tickets so that we could bring Trace and Nanny if she moves to Utah before the show. As the time for the production got closer, I figured out that Nanny would not be moving to Utah before the show, so I called Mom to see if she wanted to go with us. She hadn't even seen Wicked or even any Broadway show, so she agreed. The nice thing is that she ended up paying me back for her ticket! That wasn't necessary, but I did appreciate it since finances have been tight with us since Kevin's injury. Kevin and I had seen another performance of Wicked at the Orpheum Theatre in San Francisco before Trace was born, but this was Trace's first time seeing the show. He needed a couple of plot points explained to him, but he said he really like it. During the show, I was surprised that I burst into tears over the song "For Good" and the amazing rendition of "Defying Gravity". My Mom said that she understood crying over the sweet, sad song, "For Good", but couldn't understand why me and tons of other people around me had cried at the "Defying Gravity" song. I didn't know how to explain it myself. All in all, it was great to see my favorite Broadway show again.
