My Nunny 2: Witches Came Early

Witches Came Early

After seeing Wicked again last night I am convinced why this is my all-time favorite (although I do love A Chorus Line, Cats and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers). I went with my cousin, Shanna, and my nieces and nephews, Brooke and Curtis, and Tyler and Vanessa. This play never ceases to amaze me. The costumes and sets are outstanding, not to mention the cast. Although I was a bit disappointed that Glinda's standby (Emily Rozek) was playing the part. Good, but nowhere near the magnitude of Megan Hilty or even Erin Mackey! The part of Madame Morrible is now being played by Carol Kane who I guess originally was on Broadway, but unfortunately her understudy, Linda Kerns, was playing the role last night. Too bad, I would have loved to see Carol Kane and compare her to JoAnne Worley who I thought was perfect. I love Teal Wicks as Elphaba, but I have heard Eden Espinosa is even better. Both Megan and Eden are returning on the 30th until the end of the run on January 11, 2009. My mom, Dean and Brittany (Rozlyn already went) want to see it so maybe three will be it, (number of times I saw Cats), that is until a movie is made! Wonder what the show on Friday night (Halloween) will be like?
???Does anyone know the difference between a Standby and Understudy???

Debbie & Raul

We met at Calle Mayor Middle School at the end of Dean’s 8th grade year. On the last day of school, Dean and a friend were playing around and Raul, being the observant man that he is, asked which kid was mine, which is a reasonable question unless of course you had seen the other child! My reply was, “Oh I can tell you are a highly trained detective being you felt compelled to ask that question”. However, there was something about him that caught my attention, despite his highly trained eye. We didn’t see eachother until September when he was assigned as the Resource Officer for the south end. He was teaching classes for the DARE program and the kids in my class obviously needed to attend. I volunteered to be the one to take them, and of course needed to stay with them to make sure they behaved! Well one thing lead to another and the next thing I knew he invited me to go jet skiing at the river with a bunch of friends. I loved it immediately and I think he was impressed that I got on and never looked back. We dated for over a year when he asked me to marry him, by having me arrested for a unpaid seatbelt ticket (I’ll tell the entire story later).
