One short day in the Emerald City

I can't even put into words how I feel right now. It's been 10 hours since I've stepped out of the "Emerald City" yet my heart continues to flutter at the thought of finally seeing this magnificent musical. I can't believe I've actually heard and seen Glinda graciously sing "Popular" and Elphaba belt her heart out to "Defying gravity". Aaaah, my heart 💗

6-7 years ago, I came across "Wicked" on YouTube and completely fell in love with it. Since then, "Defying gravity", "One short day", "For good", "As long as you're mine", "Popular", "Dancing through life", "I'm not that girl" and "What is this feeling" have been constants in my playlist. Even more so, "Defying gravity" has influenced my life immensely and has been my "go-to" song when I feel the need to be inspired. A few minutes into the show, while Glinda was floating in her bubble, with the people of Oz singing beneath her about the Emerald City, my eyes started to well up. I felt really emotional because I couldn't believe my dream was coming true! I've always dreamt of watching this musical and to be given the chance to even watch it at London's West End was just AMAZING. 

I've followed Suzie Mathers since the asian tour of Wicked and I think SHE IS PERFECT for the role. Her singing was effortless and I love how she was so perky and funny all throughout. Alice Fearn's voice was magical. I had goosies when she started flying to the sky, powered by all her rage and emotions, belting out "So if you care to find me, look to the western sky!!" 

Tonight, I will let my Wicked playlist lull me to sleep... to remind me to always dance through life and that anything is possible because my future is unlimited.
