And probably you might have had the chance to sing a tune or two from what is now an American classic! –
Well, as classic as a Hot Dog or a Burger, or Dorothy’s RRS (Red Ruby Sleepers!).

Oh! by the way, as reported by Vanity Fair, the RRS were found! – Whew!

See, ladies (and some gents, plus they/them of course!) – what I did there? – I am already giving you ideas for what to wear for the upcoming celebrations! – A pair of Red, in color and sparkly loafers, or even lace-ups or fabulous high heels,… and you will be ready to be much more magical to attend the weekend celebrations.
By the way, I will be bringing more ideas of what to wear for the event in this blog, so stay tuned!
The theme this year for the gala celebrations will be around WICKED! – Filled with all sorts of celebrations that you can be part of.
Now, this year, the gala celebrations will take place atthe Phoenix Symphony Hall in downtown Phoenix! – Another magical place in the city with much history.

The invitation!
The event will bring a very special guest to be part of the celebrations, and one that we are very wicked to have with us. No more, no less than the renown Six time Emmy Nominated, Grammy, Oscars and Golden Globe Winning composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz!
