I\u2019ve been wanting to see this play for years, so I\u2019m so happy to finally have been able to go. I really enjoyed it. I wasn\u2019t crazy about all of the songs but the plot was really good and the actors did a great job. My favorite song is the stereotypical \u201cDefying Gravity\u201d but man, it\u2019s so catchy. I like how the story didn\u2019t affect the Wizard of Oz canon and added more depth to the characters.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1280\" data-original-width=\"960\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/2019-02-142B19.54.02.jpg?resize=300%2C400\" width=\"300\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1200\" data-original-width=\"1600\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/2019-02-142B19.57.17.jpg?resize=640%2C480\" width=\"640\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1280\" data-original-width=\"960\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/2019-02-142B22.55.17.jpg?resize=300%2C400\" width=\"300\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1440\" data-original-width=\"1440\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/2019-02-152B00.27.22.jpg?resize=640%2C640\" width=\"640\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;\"><b>Day 7:<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">On my last day in New York, Anne and I went to the Morgan Library and Museum aka the former home of millionaire J.P. Morgan. There we got to see a limited J.R.R. Tolkien exhibit focused on his artwork. I had no idea he had done so much. They wouldn\u2019t let us take pictures inside but they had the original first edition jacket art for the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings! They even had some of Tolkien\u2019s hand-drawn maps, timelines, letters, and even his doodles he\u2019d make on newspapers. It was so amazing. He also did drawings of his world\u2019s plants, coat of arms, and other worldbuilding details. It was so inspiring to me.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"960\" data-original-width=\"1280\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/2019-02-152B12.18.01.jpg?resize=400%2C300\" width=\"400\" \/><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"960\" data-original-width=\"1280\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/2019-02-152B12.18.11-1.jpg?resize=400%2C300\" width=\"400\" \/><\/div>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif;\">Next, we got to see J.P.
