Christmas in the City



Ever since I was a little girl all I've wanted to do is go to New York City during Christmas time. I have always been one of those people that loves the snow, holidays, family time, fireplaces, decorations, holiday shopping, and everything else about December. I've always lived in Virginia and it's usually always been the perfect mix of weather. However, these past couple winters there hasn't been quite enough snow for me to enjoy. But as I was growing up I would watch as many holiday movies as I could, as of today I even have two Christmas movies still saved on my DVR. Anyway, back to my point, for some reason most of them would be set in the New York City. I was always so jealous of the beautiful decorations, the shopping, and especially, the snow! This past March was the first time I'd ever been to NYC and I fell in love. Since then I've told myself that I WILL spend one Christmas in the city. For the past couple weeks I've been trying to talk my mother into letting us spend this Christmas there, but so far she hasn't been so fond of the idea. She knows it's always been something I've wanted to do, but she doesn't think it's the right time for it. All I know is that if it's not this Christmas that I spend in the city, that I'll make sure of it that I'm there next year. Well, it's still only June so I still have some time to talk my mom into us going this year, so wish me luck! In the mean time, maybe I'll just walk around singing Christmas Carols.

Wicked the Musical to be a Movie!




So recently I went to NYC for the first time. While I was there I went to Broadway and saw Wicked, I fell in love! So I was talking to my friend Bleyton about it and she told me they were going to turn it into a movie. (She knows everything about pop culture!) We were then talking about who should be the main characters in the play. My favorites would be;

Anne Hathaway as Elphaba
Amy Adams as G(a)linda
James Marsden as Fiyero
Richard Gere as the Wizard
Meryl Streep as Madame Morrible
Emmy Rossum as Nessarose
Lucas Grabeel as Boq

And I have to add how I am totally falling in love with the soundtrack. When I saw it I saw Nicole Parker as Elphaba and Alli Mauzey as Galinda. And let me tell you, I absolutely loved Alli Mauzey as Galinda! Me and Bleyton are planning to go to NYC this summer and I would LOVE to see Wicked again, with the same cast! For my first Broadway show I think it was amazing. Wicked was amazing! I can't say it enough! The next show I'd like to see is maybe 9 to 5. I wish Legally Blonde was still on Broadway. But we'll see what pops up in the next couple months! =D
