A huge thanks to @mdcornmaze for inviting us out for opening weekend. A Wicked good time was had! Glinda and Elphaba from @ouatpartiesdc were fabulous! They really portrayed their characters flawlessly. They will not be in attendance tomorrow. But, a different Elphaba and Glinda will be attending from another company.

I had the best time creating this video so had to get it out. I’ll add more details to the caption later.
