Profile for L.A. Design Girl

"C'mon, us Cali girls know how to do fancy when we need to, don't we?" You bet your bottle of peroxide we do!! CLG

Really? I can wear a bikini and flip-flops to the theater? That's about all today's weather would allow, anyway. CLG

Oh boy, my head is spinning. I didn't expect this kind of response to my question, but now I think I have it...the general consensus seems to be that the novel and the show are two separate and distinct experiences and one shouldn't be compared to the other...almost as if all they have in common is a title and a few characters. They would certainly have to be two different things, if it's true that Fiyero doesn't die in the show. Um, hello? Pivotal moment in the book!! I have heard bits and p...

Beware the New Am balcony. As someone has already stated, the pitch is QUITE steep. If you're uncomfortable with heights, you're not going to be happy up there.

(How else could an entire TREE grow up through the orchestra section if the space wasn't cavernous??) Enjoy the show. Carrie
