Reflective Essay Preparation 7: Wicked

Last Sunday I went to New York to see a Broadway show as a birthday present from my cousin. We planned on seeing Sister Act  because it was starring Raven Simone and I think she is a very talented actress. So we got to TKTS (the ticket center in Times Square that sells Broadway tickets the day of the show), waited in line, got to the front, asked for two tickets to Sister Act, and got the response "Just so you're aware Raven Simone is not playing it it today." Since the whole point of wanting to see it was because of Raven we decided not to buy the tickets. I was extremely disappointed and I was having a hard time picking something else to see. My cousin suggested we go to the box office for Wicked to see if we could get tickets. I have wanted to see Wicked for years. When we got to the front of the line at the box office we were told that there were tickets left and I started crying. I was so excited I couldn't believe what just happened. I got something I have been waiting for at an unexpected time. Wicked was amazing and I want to see it again! My character has been improved because now I know what it means when they say when one door is closed another one opens.
