Wicked!!!

Wicked was fun and entertaining! I'm so glad we finally got to see it. We were starting to think it's an elusive show we were never going to be able to see. Last night was our final attempt and it was successful.

We had tickets to see it in AZ but moved a week before the showing so we sold them. Turns out the show is playing in San Fran. So we bought tickets to go for my birthday in September. We decided to drive into the city cause we wanted to eat out and stop by a maternity store. Bad idea, cause traffic was horrible and it took us like 3 hours to get into the city. As we were crossing the bridge into the city, I looked down at the tickets and realized they were for the night before. I told Chris and we just looked at each other in total disbelief. How could we have not even looked at the tickets before now?

Since we were already in the city by this time, we decided just to go to the theater and talk to a manager and see if they would help us. We explained our sad story to the ticket booth guy and he said we would have to write a letter and the manager would call us in a week. Well, we didn't know if they would even read our letter but wrote one anyways and hoped we would get to see the show. It took about 3 or 4 weeks but finally Bob, from the Orpheum Theater called and said we could choose between a few dates. We marked our calendars again and started another countdown. This time, we decided to ride BART (pictured below) and not deal with the ridiculously annoying traffic.

I've ridden on BART before but many years ago and Chris has never experienced it so we were a little uneasy about the ride, especially at night. We got to the station and had a little trouble parking. Chris started to worry we were going to miss the show again. We grabbed some info guides and also asked the BART lady where we needed to get off and about how long it would take to get to our stop. It was a relief to get on and just sit 'til we got into the city. The BART is a very interesting spot to people watch by the way.

We got off, walked upstairs and we were right in front of the theater. There were no problems with the tickets and we even got better seats then what we had originally purchased. Nice eh?

Both of us really enjoyed the show and were really impressed that the theater was so nice about giving us another chance to see the show. We will be sending them a thank you note:)
