As soon as I came home from my girls’ getaway trip to LA(see THIS post for details) to see Wicked, we downloaded the Wicked soundtrack off of iTunes for $10, burned it on a CD and it has been a mainstay in the van ever since. The twins have especially enjoyed the music and me telling them a little about the story and how I went to it. They both LOVE The Wizard of Oz so it has been very interesting for them to hear the music and story. If you haven't seen Wicked or don't know the story, it a re-imagining of L. Frank Baum's classic story The Wonderful Wizard of Oz from the perspective of the witches of the Land of Oz. If you have seen Wicked or at least know a bit about it, you may find these funny. Here are some funny moments since they've been listening to the music:
When Megan was listening to No One Mourns the Wicked, there is the part where Glinda is telling Elphaba’s story(that's the Wicked Witch of the West) and the chorus sings, “The baby is unnaturally…………..GREEN!” Megan said, “Mom why do they say that the baby is a MACARONI FREAK?”
No sweetie not macaroni...
They say, unnaturally GREEN!(although I always think of macaroni now!)
It is that time again…McDonald’s has the Madame Alexander miniature Wizard of Oz dolls. We collected them all last time, so here we go again! BTW, you don’t HAVE to buy a Happy Meal, you can purchase them alone. Last Sunday, Zach happened to slip in the church bag to sacrament meeting: the Wicked Witch of the East (Nessa Rose) and the Wicked Witch of the West (Elphaba) dolls. So during the meeting he was playing with them and it got a little out of hand when he started to sing his favorite Wicked song, Popular a wee bit TOO loud! I couldn’t help but chuckle!
Tonight at dinner, Megan was just about to say the prayer and Zach was singing, “Have another drink, my dark-eyed beauty, I’ve got one more night left here in town!”(again from No One Mourns the Wicked)…Brandon laughed and said, “Great song to be singing right before the prayer!”
