10 Cities, 100 Discoveries: 4 – Wicked NYC
Someone famous said, “Travel and change of place impart new vigor to the mind.” For me, it’s a new way of seeing things, or as Carrie, from Sex and the City said it’s reminding myself that, “[Everything] is just a plane ride way.” Besides, what would the journey, 1 Year, 10 Projects, 100 Discoveries, be without travel, or more specifically, 10 unique cities. This post is part of that project. You can see all 10 Cities here and the entire project here. Enjoy the ride, I sure am!
I’ve been to New York City a handful of times. Each time I have a list of things I want to accomplish. But, alas, each time I never quite finish the list. For over four years, Wicked has been something on my New York City list that’s never been crossed off. Until this trip.
Did it live up to the hype? Yes, more so than some of the other plays I’ve seen (ahem, Avenue Q). And, while “we can’t all come and go in a bubble,” Wicked had some great music, costumes and an even better lesson about dreams and change:
Some things I cannot change, but ’til I try I’ll never know.
Cause getting your dreams
It’s strange, but it seems
A little — well — complicated
There’s a kind of a sort of : cost
There’s a couple of things get : lost
There are bridges you cross
You didn’t know you crossed
Until you’ve crossed.
And, leaving NYC was just like leaving Wicked…
