Wicked Coming to Des Moines

WICKED IS COMING TO DES MOINES
So much happened before Dorothy dropped in. The Civic Center announced Broadway's biggest blockbuster and winner of three Tony Awards®, WICKED, is coming to Des Moines and will be presented as part of the 2008-2009 Betts Broadway Series. WICKED is a new musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and book By Winnie Holzman based on the best-selling 1995 novel by Gregory Maguire. It tells the story of the remarkable odyssey of how two unlikely friends grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch.WICKED sells out very quickly but Central Iowans can guarantee their seats for WICKED by becoming a Betts Broadway Series Season Ticket holder for the upcoming season. Exact dates and times for WICKED will be announced at a later date.

If anyone is interested in attending, let me know. I am a season ticket holder and plan to purchase tickets for Wicked!

New time and host

Hey All -
Tara has agreed to host this month. We decided on Wednesday, May 23rd as the next date.
7 PM.
More details to follow.
Hope you all are enjoying the book. I am.
That, and I sure could use a "crisis" these days :)

New Editors

Update for all of you. You should be getting an email that invites you to post to this blog. Simply follow the directions, and you should be all set for updating here. We will keep playing with this format, so please make changes and suggestions!
Have a great week.

Next Month's Read

Hello Ladies -
Pleased to announce that we have chosen our next book:
Lady Chatterly's Lover by D.H. Lawrence.
See all the controversy here regarding our newest selection.
Time, date and hostess were not finalized for next month, so stay tuned on that one.

Big thanks to all those who braved the gross April weather to come have a few glasses of wine and not really discuss last month's selection: The Emperor of Ocean Park -- minus the stirring summary from Amy & Meghan. Which, for the record, I do still think came in under 500 words.

We are going to try this format for a little bit and see how we do. I will be adding all of you to the list so that you can make posts.
