The mega Broadway hit, Wicked is coming to the Hampton Roads area! Wicked will bring a little Broadway excitement to the area especially since it's the first time it's been scheduled to tour here.

If you aren't familiar with Wicked it is a very unique spin on an old and well-known classic. The production is based on the backstory of the 1939 film, The Wizard of Oz and tells the story of what happened in the Land of Oz before Dorothy dropped in...literally. The story includes several references to well-known scenes and dialogue you will be sure to recognize.  Here is the ‘Wicked' teaser:  Long before Dorothy arrived in Munchkinland, two girls met in Oz; one with green skin who is sorely misunderstood and the other, a very beautiful and popular blonde. How the two girls grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch makes this one of the most creative musicals of its time.

Recently, I have become really interested with all things celestial.  I suppose it all started about a month ago.  My wife and I went out for a walk after a late dinner.  It was one of those unusually mild December nights and it was so clear outside.  There wasn't a cloud in the sky.  The sky was illuminated with brilliant, twinkling stars.  Some were light while others were significantly brighter.  I later found out those stars were actually the planets Jupiter and Venus putting on quite a nice show in the evening sky. 

I read in a previous blog posting about the planetarium shows at the Virginia Living Museum so I visited the Christmas Star show and the Virginia Skies show and have been fascinated ever since.  During January, there are more stars of the first magnitude (which means the brightest stars) in the sky than at any other times during the year.  So, the first few weeks of this month offer a great opportunity to get outside and observe the night sky and see a variety of really bright stars and the constellations associated with them.
