Wicked in San Antonio

On Sunday afternoon we attended a performance of the musical "Wicked" which is based on Gregory Maguire's 1995 book “Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West.”  The story is centered on Elphaba (aka the Wicked Witch of the West ) from the "Wizard of Oz" and deals with the circumstances of her birth, her friendship with Glinda (the "good" witch) and how she became "wicked." 

The performance was at the Majestic Theater which really is quite majestic. 

We attended with John and Judy's daughter, Kathy, and her son Justin and had box seats provided by Johna and Judy.  There were 6 boxes in the theater (three left and three right of the stage) with each box having 6 chairs.

 If that didn't spoiled us enough,  the assigned wait staff and valet parking topped it off.  Good show.  Thanks to John and Judy for tickets!

Prior to the show, we took a stroll on the River Walk.  It is a walkway along the San Antonio River one story below street level with hotels, shops, cafes, restaurants, etc.   We found it bustling with activity with people eating at street cafes, shopping or just out for the sights.  And the river boast were full of tourists floating up and down the river with the boat captains providing a history lesson of the area. 

It was a great day.
