As I pronounced last night, I went to see "Wicked" the live musical tonight at the Paramount Theater in downtown Seattle. And of course it was pretty darned good. But it was an extremely expensive night. The cost of the tickets aside, between parking, buying "merch" at the booth in the lobby and paying almost $40 for two cookies, a bottle of water, a bag of chips and two coffees I probably could have gone on a cruise for the same amount of money.
But at least my wife and daughter were entertained. Don't get me wrong, I thought it was a great production, but former Broadway productions that go on the road are supposed to be a great production. And they are pretty predictable. Plus I'd seen it before in 2019. Not that I remembered a great deal about it.
The thing I don't like about going to the Paramount theater is that trying to use the restroom at intermission is a bit like being an extra on "The Hunger Games." You fight your way through throngs of people just to get to the line that leads downstairs to the other line for the restroom.
But the Paramount is a lovely vintage theater and I managed to snap this photo of the drinking fountain outside the men's room before I fought my way to a urinal.
As for the design I posted above, I may or may not have posted it here before, but I was trying to find something that related to the Wizard of Oz and since I posted two last night all I could think about was this one that was a riff on Ozzie and Harriet.
Oh there is this one.
And this one.
I guess they Trump Ozzie and Harriet.
