Family Attends the Musical Wicked in New York
“I want to see Avenue Q,” “I want to see Wicked!” “I want to see Hamlet!” “Hamlet isn’t even playing anymore, stupid.” And so it went for about a week before the Miller family finally left for their summer vacation in New York. They were going to spend a week in the city and then visit relatives upstate for about four days. Their children were extremely excited about the trip and for reasons unknown to their parents, have no background in the theatre and actually very little interest in local productions, all three of their children were obsessed with seeing a Broadway show. All they heard in the weeks prior to their trip was “Broadway this, and Broadway that.” Somehow in the course of the previous month each of their children had decided to become either a Broadway actor, a director or a major musical composer. Carl even started calling himself C. Lo Web in honor of his hero Andrew Lloyd Webber. His parents assumed that C. Lo had chosen his favorite composer based on the one show they had taken their children to see, which perhaps obviously was Cats.
In the week prior to their trip, in addition to learning that their children had Broadway celebrity careers in their future, the Millers also learned that it was in their best interest to keep family vacation plans a secret until it was time to pack and go. However, being a rather close family, the Millers didn’t want to spoil their children’s fun and went along with their dreams and ideas. They agreed that they could see one Broadway show while they were on vacation in the city, but they would have to agree on which one it was. After a bit of deliberation it was C. Lo that got to make the final vote and he opted for Wicked. This was a bit of a relief to his parents as they were slightly concerned about some of the subject matter in Avenue Q.
