I saw it last saturday. It was sooo wonderful! The costumes were beautiful. The set was magestic. The coreography was amazong. And the singing...god the singing was perfect!

[Monsters Cry Alone]

^^ You're soooo lucky! I'm jealous


details??

[Anzibanonzi]

Yes, details...

well, the show started off with the familar notes of "no one mourns the wicked" But the stage was empty and slowely chimery and the other monkies came on. Then the people of Oz filed in with the super costumes. They were totally unique and nothing llike the movie. Them Glinda came down in her 'bubble machine' There were a bunch of lines that they cut out during dear old shiz. Galinda did this really cute/annoying thing where she jumped up and down, but only her feet and they only came up like 2 inches. She actually accidentaly volunteered to be Elphie's roomate.

Durning "What is this feeling" when elphiba says "every trait" she mimmicks Galinda and jumps up and down.

okay, more later

[Monsters Cry Alone]

Eagerly awaiting more details...

Oh! Can I join!? I've never seen the play, but I do own the Original Broadway Cast Recording and I've read the book and will be reading the sequel this October.....I'd LOVE to see it on stage, but there's not a touring cast so until there is, it'll be a long while before I get to see Wicked on stage. *tear*

[Anzibanonzi]

Of course you can join! do you want a keeper title?

hmmm... During 'shiz' the students are all sitting around. Elphie is really attentive to her sister. They get along great, and Elphie obviously feals responcible to her. But then Nesa Rose opens a present from her father that contains silver shoes. She is really happy about them, but then notices that Elphie didn't get a present. She attempts to appologise but elphaba says "don't worry. What could he get me anyway? I clash with everything." After a while it turns out that Nesa Rose is supposed to share a room with mme. Morrible, Galinda has a private set of rooms, but Elphie doesn't have a room. So, when someone comes to take Nesa Rose to her room Elphaba freaks out about being seperated. The lights flash and Nesa Rose's weelchair comes flying back to her. Mme Morrible is delighted and immediatly accepts Elphie into her special magic class and says she will take no other students. This really depressed Galinda who went to Shiz to thake the class. So Galinda starts jumping up and down in her special way while raising her hand to ask a question. Unfortunatly for her Mme Morrible just asked who would be willing to be Elphie's roomate.

After everyone leaves Elphaba sings "The wizard and I". This was one of the two most amazing parts in the show. She is so happy, and really believes her life is turning around. I think the whole audience was in tears.

[Harper's Pixie]

Umm....ohoh, can I be Keeper of Fiyero and Elphie's Secert Love?

[Monsters Cry Alone]

It sounds so amazing!!! *is very jealous and hopes wicked makes it to the UK eventually*

[Anzibanonzi]

I'm sure it will go to the UK eventually. It's too wonderful not to go.

Have you seen the pics on the internet of "Defying Gravity"?

[Monsters Cry Alone]

No I haven't seen those... Where are they??? I wanna see....

[LadyBianca]

Another broadway faction! I love it. I'd definitely like to join this one, Wicked is one of my very favourite musicals.

I saw it in NYC on July 18th of last year, the very last show that Kristin Chenoweth, Norbert Leo Butz, and Joel Grey were present for. (Joel Grey didn't perform, he was still sick, but he came out for speeches at the end.) My sister and I were in the very back row of the Gershwin Theatre, on the very right side, but it was an amazing, amazing show. There were lots of little things added because of Kristin and Norbert's impending departure, and when the characters they were playing were leaving each other, the actors really bawled. Kristin could hardly sing For Good through her tears.

I was really priviledged to see the Tour when it started in Toronto in March, and our seats were much closer this time. A week afterwards, the Wicked makeup line had a promo at makeup store in Toronto and I went back there with some friends because the two women playing the witches were there to sign autographs. It was really awesome.

Can I be the keeper of Galinda's training wand?

I really really hope it makes it to the UK.... I want to see it so badly!!


I have been sent a bootleg video of the whole show, but it's quite badly over exposed and only about a 4 inch square picture so I haven't watched more than the first few minutes of it yet

[Anzibanonzi]

you are so lucky that you got to see the origional cast! I loved the Elphie and Galinda I saw, but they really can't compare to Chenoweth and Menzel. Also, Joel Gray is amazing - I personally think our wizard was a little weak... It sounds wonderful, all the emotion in that show. And that really is the way it is supposed to be. Though the show is fun and light at its base it is very emotional. What kinds of things were added? Were they obvious?

I can't believe that Wicked has a makup line! That's awesome!

Don't worry, it will get to the UK eventually... check the Wicket Site for the tour dates. And don't watch the online version, it doesn't sound worth it. Just live off the soundtrack untill you can see it.

here are some pics of Defying gravity


Basically she rising above the stage, and the whole stage looks like the cape that Glinda just gave her
