TRULY WICKED

Hello from the subway!

 Today we booked lunch for Christmas Day (just in time!) and decided to catch the train to Brooklyn in to explore a little of what we saw in the dark last night.

It was an eventful day, mostly spent inside as it was raining again. 

We were hoping to see Coney Island but it was so foggy outside, we didn't get there...but on the way home our subway train stopped abruptly! There was a person on the tracks! We don't know why or how but looking out our window a few people on the platform were pulling a man off the tracks we have just driven on. Pretty scary, and it then stuffed all the trains around due to delays and needing to repairs. That coupled with delays because of the low visibility, we were lucky to finally make it back to Manhattan!

 Walking through Times Square in the rain is incredible, because you can walk wherever you like. The crowds thin out and the steps are closed...it's almost serene.

 Feeling a bit flat after all the subway issues we joined the extremely long line at the Wicked lottery.

We were tired, and wet, and slightly deflated when "Brittany Hedrick" was called from the front!

YES!!

I practically ran to the front, that feeling is definitely on of the best in the world.

 Victorious, we jumped on the subway home to get dressed up a little. After all, this is possibly the last time we will see Wicked on Broadway (at least for a little while!)

Back downtown we thought 'Broadway Thai' sounded good..most thai food is.

 Little did we know, inside it was a live jazz restaurant and many of the other guests were ex-broadway stars and we got quite spoilt as many of them jumped up with the band to sing a few classics. What a hidden gem! If we find the time (haha) we will definitely be coming back here!

 Back to Oz...

 It was absolutely brilliant, how could it be any less! Such a stellar show and night

 Oh New York, how will we leave you :(

 Still on a high from the show we danced around Times Square for a little while...

 

 With a quick feature on the Forever21 billboard.

 Eventually we caught the subway (with no delays, yay!) home

 Just in time for some Christmas craft ;) DIY Christmas sweaters, here we come!
