I drove home again. I hate driving, but I need to do it in order to go places. Every time I drive I am terrified that I might hit another car. I’m not scared if I’ll be hurt, I’m afraid another car may be damaged, even though it hasn’t happened yet. I’m not sure why I have this anxiety, but it’s something that bothers me greatly.

Wicked 2024
In the Broadway production of Wicked, a No-Fly Show is one in which there is a technical malfunction or mishap that causes Elphaba to not levitate during her big Defying Gravity number. This is a big disappointment for audiences because, since the show is a massive spectacle, not being able to see the fun practical effects of the character flying during her big song is a bit of a let-down in such a visual driven show. This feels like a…
