When Wicked tours through the Eccles Theater, it draws large crowds eager to experience the beloved Broadway show that tells the untold story of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, and Glinda, the Good Witch.

The last day of school for the kids. Savannah stayed home sick. Tara and Savannah picked me up from work, and we carpooled up to Salt Lake to watch Wicked at the Eccles Theater. We left about 30 minutes later than planned and hit traffic, so we only had a few minutes for dinner. We grabbed Cafe Rio and ate as fast as we could, making it to our seats just seven minutes before the show started. Savannah was still feeling sick with a sore throat and sinus pressure but made it through the show. It was a fun performance and well done, though our seats were pretty far away.
