As a longtime Broadway fan, I cannot believe we get to hear from both Elphaba and Glinda from the touring cast of Wicked today. But they are more than just my favorite witches- these women have become dear friends to me.
In two weeks, both Mary Kate Morrissey and Ginna Claire Mason Moffett will be leaving the cast, so I visited them in San Antonio last week to see them share the stage one more time and we sat on the dressing room floor with a microphone between us. Tears, laughs, beautiful thoughts on God and art and friendship.
I love these girls so much. What a gift they are to me. I bet you'll feel the same about them after today's show.

Remember God is out! Make sure you've grabbed a copy for yourself and maybe some for your friends!

0:00.0 | Hi friends, welcome to another episode of That Sounds Fun. I am your host Annie F. Downs. |
0:11.6 | Happy Monday. I'm so glad to be here with you. The music in the background is from our |
0:16.3 | friend Seth Creekmore. It's a song called precipice that he wrote to go along with. Remember |
0:21.2 | God, my new book that just released this month. So make sure you check that out. |
0:25.8 | Okay, so let me tell you the super quick story and then we will jump into today's show. |
0:30.4 | In 2011, when I was living in Scotland, one of my dearest friends Betsy came to the |
0:35.8 | UK and I flew down to London and her cousin Lindsey picked, I think it was Lindsey picked |
0:40.8 | for us to go see Wicked. I'd never seen it before. I thought it looked great. I was in. |
0:46.5 | Well, I had no idea I would like fall in love with the music and with the story. And so |
0:54.3 | then I saw it another time while I still live there and I've seen it a couple of times |
0:57.9 | in New York when I'm up there. I'll just go last minute with a friend and get a ticket |
1:01.8 | to Broadway's performance of Wicked. If you don't know the story of Wicked, it is kind |
1:07.2 | of the story that happens before the Wizard of Oz. It's how the Wicked Witch of the West |
1:12.5 | became the Wicked Witch of the West and how the good witch glendette, the beginning of |
1:17.4 | the Wizard of Oz, the one who sends Dorothy down the Ellibor Road. It's about the relationship |
1:22.3 | between those two witches. And so I just love the story. It's beautiful and the music's |
1:27.6 | beautiful and I've always enjoyed watching it. Well, a few months ago, actually in April, |
1:32.2 | the touring cast came through Nashville and I have season tickets to our local theater. |
1:38.5 | You've probably heard me talk about that before. And if you heard the show in the spring, |
1:42.5 | I ended up meeting both the witches, Jenna Claire and Mary Kate and the friendship was |
1:47.6 | just easy and fast and super real. And so Jenna Claire sat down with us when they were |
1:53.4 | in Nashville and she and I had a conversation. You should go back and listen to that episode |
