Wicked

Yesterday Steve and I drove to St. Louis to go see Wicked. (For those of you who don't know he got me tickets for our one year anniversary.) I couldn't believe it was finally here! Since the day he gave me the tickets I have been counting down. I have wanted to see Wicked for years now and just couldn't make it happen, so I was SOO excited to finally get to see it. 

We woke up early and drove over to St. Louis. Our first stop was the mall to stop by H&M, sadly I didn't find anything that struck my fancy enough to buy it. Then we went to our hotel and just relaxed until it was time to head down to the FOX Theater. We had quite the adventure using the public transportation down to the theater and both decided to take a cab back to the hotel after the show. 

After dinner we lined up outside the theater and anxiously waited for the doors to open. I had heard the FOX was absolutely beautiful inside and boy were they right. As we walked in I was awestruck, it was like a step back in time to when theaters were so extravagant and gorgeous. We explored every floor until they let us go to our seats. 

Once the lights dimmed I felt like a kid on Christmas, I was so excited. From the first note until the curtain lowered I was enraptured. It was every I wanted it to be and more. The cast was perfect, the set was incredible and of course the story was amazing. I laughed and cried and got goosebumps throughout the entire show. Steve even loved it, I may have converted him into a musical lover ("lover" might be pushing it") . 

After the show we attempted to hail a cab and after about 20 minutes of no success we finally got one and headed back to the hotel. I smiled the whole way. I was on cloud 9 the rest of the night. It was the perfect gift and the perfect weekend trip. I could not have loved any of it more.
