Anyone who knows me knows that I love, love, LOVE the musical WICKED!!! I saw the performance in Germany, and it was THE BEST PERFORMANCE OF ANY KIND that I have EVER SEEN ANYWHERE!!!! In fact, it was so good that I wrote the cast a “thank-you letter” to express my sincere appreciation for the *MAGICAL* evening. I also bought the CD – both from the German performance that I saw and the English version by the original cast of Tony-award winning Idina Manzel (as Elphaba, the Wicked Witch) and Kristin Chenoweth (as Glinda, the Good Witch). Phenomenal. Raw talent to the extreme.
I mean, how can one not run faster on a treadmill when one is singing along with the following words?
“I am d-e-f-y-i-n-g gravity… And if I’m flying solo, at least I’m flying free. To those who’d ground me, take a message back from me. Tell them how I am defying gravity. I’m flying high defying gravity and soon I’ll match them in renown. And nobody in all of Oz, no wizard that there is or was, is ever gonna bring me down!!!!”
Sing for yourself and see how good it makes you feel.
What does this have to do with Raw Food? Just ask A Vegan on Stage. I made her awesome Elphaba (aka Elphie) Bars and can’t stop smiling, singing, or twirling around in my kitchen. See her recipe here. See also photo of my bars (with appropriate green suitcase in the background).
What do you do to Defy Gravity?
