This past friday night the 'good wife' and I went with some good friends to the symphony. Every year for Christmas our oldest daughter and son in law buy us tickets to the symphony and opera; last year we watch a ballet, which was fantastic, and this year we went to the presentation of 'Wicked Divas'. This was a night of specials from women who were major figures in stories; and Julia Murney & Jennifer Laura Thompson, singers from the New York presentation of 'WICKED' were there to sing most of the songs ... and they were absolutely wonderful. Song selections came from 'Gypsy; Carmen; Chicago; My Fair Lady; Ragtime; The Phatom of the Opera [my favorite]; Conga;
Symphonic Sounds of Diana Ross; Titanic; Spamalot; Wizard of Oz; and of course a number of songs from Wicked. Their closing number was just wonderful, and they received such an ovation that they did another special from Wicked. It was truly a really wonderful time. Before that we had eaten at an Italian restaurant called Tre Cuzini. I had linguini with mussels, small neck clams and shrimp - it was everything the word delicious means!
