Saturday Snapshot: The Emerald City

Saturday Snapshot is a weekly meme hosted by Alyce at At Home With Books. The guidelines are to post a photo that you or a friend or family member have taken and then link it back to Alyce's original post for the week. Photos can be old or new and be of any subject as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see.

Going through my phone storage to free up space and came across this photo taken last year. I managed to score a front row seat to Wicked and took this photo before the show. The seat was a bit too close for someone short like me but it was delicious to finally hear the soundtrack live and in-person (and unencumbered by my croaky voice piping in periodically). Live theatre always makes me feel alive and full of energy, especially musicals. I just wish the feeling would last longer than a couple days!

    1. It really was; worried a little that it would not live up to expectations but it did!

    1. Yes, way better than the standard curtain seen at most shows.

    1. That's where I was headed but kept an eye on stubhub and got lucky.

  5. That's a great idea for the curtain! I always enjoy my trips to live theatre too. Wicked was on the last time I was in NYC, but we opted for a couple of other shows instead.


    Here's my Snapshot

    1. You'll get another chance; it's one of those shows that keeps on going and going, like Chicago.

    1. I don't know if the shot is cool but the map certainly is! Someday I'll learn to take better photos and with something other than my BB.

    1. I know! Have to say stubhub has not let me down yet. Plus it helps that I have no issues going to events on my own, which opens up more seating options.
