Wicked

We went to see the Broadway musical Wicked. The show was FANTASTIC! I had heard it was good, but it was amazing, definitely one of the best shows we have seen. I would highly recommend buying tickets to see this musical.

Wicked shows are almost always sold out. We knew we had a hot ticket, when we were approached on the way in to sell our seats. Our seats were 10th row center and we had a perfect view of the stage.

There are many themes in Wicked: preconceptions,misconceptions, friendship, jealousy, "wicked" may be good and "good" may be evil. I won't even try to describe the political themes that are interwoven within an entertaining story and strong, moving songs.

After the show we ate dinner at Ben Benson's Steakhouse. I had heard a lot of good things about this restaurant, but we were disappointed. The food and service were ok, but not great. I expect that at a high priced restaurant the staff and food should be excellent. If you are looking for a good steak in NYC, there are better places.
