We were really looking forward to seeing Wicked and it didn't disappoint.

The students were really excited to see Wicked we sat with an enthusiastic group

These were the students we hung out with. A really great group of young people

It was a beautiful theater and the sets costumes and special effects were awesome

There was a photo op at Rockefeller Center that recreated a famous picture

There's not a lot to see with the clouds, but still a crowd

Just before closing the clouds lifted and there was a view

Keep your eyes open mom well not that open. Looking a little crazed

Lots of service men and women enjoying the big city

The play was awesome and the company even better.

A Wicked Good Day

May 26, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

We had another full day with lots of adventures. The choir had practice from 8:30 till 12:00 and they are sounding so good. We had a quick lunch at the Shake Shack with the group of students we have been hanging out with. After lunch, we had a short break to freshen up and get ready for our matinee. Wicked was a short walk away, and we arrived early enough to check the theater out. The play was so good and although we had seen it before we really enjoyed it. After the play, we had reservations at AppleBees. Although we had pre-ordered, it was still mass confusion. Dining with 100+ people is so challenging, but we enjoyed getting to know everyone as we waited for our dinners. We had tickets for the top of Rockefeller Center at 8:00. Unfortunately, the clouds came in as we were in line for the elevator, and they gave us the opportunity to reschedule. That wasn't an option for us, so up we went. The crowds were crazy and visibility was limited. Some of the group didn't do well with heights, and we had to split up to take some down early. The weather cleared for our walk home, and once the students were back in their rooms, Lex and I decided to go out for a drink. It was such a great way to relax after a very busy day.Read more
