Chapter 8 Warm Up

I got tickets for Drake's concert for my birthday only for him to cancel the concert two days earlier. How dare he? Doesn't he know that I already knew what I was wearing? Doesn't he know that I'd been waiting for that show? Apparently not because he went and broke his ankle and cancelled the show!!! Though if you ask me, from the pictures he'd been posting on instagram, his ankle looked fine. I was furious until a month later when I realized what my replacement gift could be. For the same price as the Drake tickets, I could sit front row at one of the greatest shows to ever be on broadway. Wicked! I’d only seen it one other time and had wanted to see it again ever since. So on December 8th 2016, at approximately 8 pm I arrived at the Gershwin theater with my sister. I’d only been there one other time but it looked the same. The map of Oz plastered on the walls. The anticipation in the air. Like a christian walking into a church, that’s how I feel arriving at the Gershwin Theater. This will be far better than any Drake concert. I went up the escalator from the lobby to the theater, stopped at the bathroom, and headed to my seat in the very first row in the very center of the theater! I got to experience Defying Gravity and For Good and the Wizard and I all from the front row and that was far better than any concert Drake could ever put on. Does Drake have flying monkeys at his concert? Nope! Can he hold the note at the end of defying gravity while levitating above the stage? I doubt it! Wicked is far more magical than anything I’ve ever seen before. Needless to say THIS was the happiest I have EVER been and the happiest I will EVER be until the next time that I get to sit in the front row of Wicked!
