For both of you a question. I saw one of the songs performed (I actually think it was this one) on the Macy's parade one year and really thought I'd love to see Wicked. A friend loaned me the book. Now, I'm not a prude, but it really had some VERY risque' parts. Was the show anything like that at all or is it family friendly enough for a young teen? How about the soundtrack?

I have the book as well.......and don't worry.....the show is not nearly as 'dark' as the book or inappropriate in any way. The show has a whimsical feel throughout.

My 10 and 12 year old have been hearing me sing every lyric since 2004. And my daughter held my hand through the whole show (we just saw it a couple of weeks ago) and she just hugged me and thanked me and we cried right after "Defying Gravity" (quite a show stopper).

The show is very funny, touching and actually teaches some nice lessons about what is important.

If you are at all unsure, you can view the entire show in portions on YouTube. Not the best quality, but you can get a real feel for the pace and tone of the musical.

Please let me know after you see it!!! You will love it, I am just sure of that!!!

My sister saw Wicked a few years ago in Chicago and told me how great it was. I've been dying to see it since then, but I think it's only been through Atlanta once.

MadBrad, I just went and viewed your EE video...how cool was that?! Can you do RnR for us next time?

I don't know how you held the camera the whole time---you got skillz, as they say!

And now we know EE is about 3 minutes long. Not too shabby.

I really want to try this when we go in October!

In high school, I took a really cool picture from the front seat of a roller coaster at Great America right as it started to slowly go down the first drop - so cool! I can't imagine actually filming it.

I finally figured out how to upload video to the web.

Here is a video of my DD, DS, and me riding Expedition Everest. All I can say is he is not scared of anything. He absolutely loved it! You can hear him giggling and laughing thru just about the whole ride. Hope you enjoy!

That was awesome! Thanks MadBrad for posting it! I'll show it to my DD (11) who LOVES rollercoasters but for some reason was afraid of Everest? Maybe next time we'll get to ride it!

DS is adorable too by the way....couldn't really see your DD, but I'm sure she's just as precious!

Thanks again....that was fun!

Loved the Expedition Everest video, Madbrad! Thanks for sharing!

Sorry that I've been AWOL for a few days again, guys! I'm thrilled to see us up to page 16, though! It looks like - once again - I have some catching up to do.

(Let me add my hearty endorsement for Wicked here though. Fantastic production. I found it to be incredible in every way. And, it is very different in tone and such from the book. Whimsical throughout without losing it's sincerity. Great musical for the whole family!)

Now what? I guess I'll have to start back at the beginning and catch what I can! As for me - life has been busy as usual. We just launched a new worship service this weekend and we also had two performances of our annual children's musical. This coming weekend we are hosting a major local concert event and I still have a lot of details to pull together! SO - I haven't had a single day off work since I returned from the CMO trip. I"m not complaining, though! I love what I do and this is a small price to pay for the amazing opportunity I've been given!

As of now, I am still planning on being in WDW May 13th - 16th (next week!) for my first official trip. I dont' know how much I'll be able to share before I go, but I'll definitely fill you in when I return!

Just reminding you to take another breath Justin.....

No, I don't know yet. I'll keep you posted, though! And now that I have a decent digital camera and a video camera, I will try to improve my technical knowledge enough that I can post some videos and pictures somewhere for you to see!

Just reminding you to take another breath Justin.....

Thanks! That's always a good reminder!

Hope you have a super-de-duper time during your first CMO assignment!

Can't wait to hear the details!

It is "For good" by Kristen Chenoweth, from the "Wicked" soundtrack.
I just downloaded it myself.

I love Wicked...

We've seen it on Broadway and locally...just amazing!!! This is one of the broadway posters which we had framed...

That song is fantastic!!!

Here is another favorite...

We had a great day at Disneyland yesterday!!! We were able to meet up with the Autopia family and I got to hold the little one...so cute!!!!

What a great family!!! Pictures to come...

Okay, I'm more or less caught up . . . I think. Of course the chances of me retaining all of the info that I just read are pretty slim!

LOVE the logo, by the way. Keep us posted on the copyright deal! I'd love to find a way to put that to good use on a t-shirt or luggage tag or something for one of my trips!
