Alladin Opening Night
Time goes by fast! After a month’s worth of rehearsal involving strenuous dancing, singing and acting (not to mention a week-long interlude to Alaska), opening night was a smash hit.

A "Wicked" Review
My life has been changed for the better! I have a new favorite musical and its name is Wicked! (A Broadway show based on Gregory Maguire’s 1995 novel, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West) On Friday, I saw the Los Angeles production performed at the Pantages theater. Wicked tells the story of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West from the perspective of Glinda, the Good Witch of the North. 
In addition to Elphaba and Glinda, Wicked focuses on 6 other characters and also has a few numbers that require the use of a large ensemble cast otherwise known as The Citizens of Oz. I loved everything about Wicked from the wonderful costumes to the casts’ magnificent voices and fabulous performance.

Best Oscar Moments
The 80th Annual Academy Awards ceremony is live. These are the highlights of the night:
Jon Stewart’s opening monologue got the audience going in a good spirit. The funniest part was when he mentioned how Vanity Fair had canceled their annual Oscar party in respect to the writers. He pointed out that next year it might be better to actually invite the writers to the party instead of canceling it.
