  • When I first saw this bit on the Thanksgiving parade, I was like, "Glinda and the Wicked Witch as... friends? What?" Then I got the cast recording for Christmas and I was still skeptical about it. But as time went by, I listened to it more often and fell in love with the show. I guess I can thank the Macy's parade in the long run for my love for Wicked. :)

  • best video ever. I love it!!!!

  • i wish i had a time machine. i'd use it to go back and see wicked with original cast! it'd be awesome.

  • Idina look so beautiful ♥

    Kristin Chenoweth the best Glinda and

    Idina Menzel the best Elphaba!! n_n

  • haha katie couric called her udina

  • when the blond person takes their picture I wonder if they get a real photo?

  • OHMYGOSH, s that Lady Ga-Ga at 1:10, Even if it is though, I dont really care, I love her, But Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth are MUCH better singers and Proformers in general :) I love it when Idinas Glass' fall off, and she starts laughing behind the bit, no armed things at 2:10 - 2:14 :p

  • 2:11 those are seriously the cutest things I've ever seen.

  • i love lady gaga and all, but when you think of two talents, idina and kristin, it doesn't matter who else is in this video. all you need are idina and kristin

  • did she say edina??????

  • Oooh! Different dress!

  • That's not the right dress that Kristin was wearing! I wonder why she wore that? Where's the yellow dress? hmmmm..... It's nice though.

  • @metsno1 Maybe because it is usually cold outside at the Thanksgiving Day Parade? Just a wild guess... I know I wouldn't like to be out there in a more "revealing" dress at that time of year!

  • The poplularity of Wicked is proof positive that the masses are asses.

  • Also I would like to say how amazingly gorgeous idina looks! Ohnestly she really does look so beautiful as elpheba! ;) Green really is her colour.

  • did she say Udina Menzel? Please let me punch her! How can you get U from I!?

  • Idina and Kristin are both so amazing! Gosh I love this musical!

  • when i saw wicked last night it had changed my life

  • I looooooove this song!! I love every wicked song!!

  • holy shiz! kristen is BEAUTIFUL in that make up (especially the lip stick) and dress! she's so amazing! so is idina! i LOVE wicked! that's what im giong 2 do when i get a little older!

  • What dress is that? I kinda like it :D

  • How did these costumes NOT inspire a new clothing line?  I'd KILL for Galinda's wardrobe!!!

  • OMG!!! at 2:13 idina loses her glasses!!!! i cant believe i have never seen that! then she just cant stop laughing!!! haha she is so funny!

  • @wickedwonderful1 HAHAHAHAHAH! I just noticed that! Idina always ends up doing something that makes everyone laugh! Also have you ever noticed how in the movie the Wizard of Oz dorothy takes the "witches" hat? Well how come in the play glinda ends up taking it...hmmmmm... :p

  • @famosyyo The movie lies! :P

  • This is lip synced,,, 3:05 Glindas mouth doesnt match up with the voice....

  • is that lip synched

  • l o v e ..you're right, this is the best musical ever !!!!!!!

  • @xjules369x: Do you have Cats?

  • I have the sheet music for Wicked, Avenue Q, Children of Eden, Phantom of the Opera, Next to Normal, Shrek the Musical, Spring Awakening, The Little Mermaid (Broadway), Thoroughly Modern Millie, and more. If you ever need/want it, just shoot me a message :)

  • @xjules369x omg plz plz can i have the sheet music???

  • ok howd u get this!

  • I LOVE THIS MUSICAL S MUCH. <3 I am reading the book, but it is not as good.

  • are you mad! the book is amazing!

  • @stonerdub True, true, but not as nearly amazing as the musical was.

  • Lady Gaga is totally channeling that blond dancer

  • Ribbon Dancer is FIERCE.

  • I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH! IT IS AMAZING!

  • BONGGA!!!

  • the flag twirler is kinda throwing it off.. plus performing any number at a thanksgiving parade automatically makes it look camp. I love this show though

  • "We're just two friends...." "Two good friends...." "Two best friends...." Makes me tear up.

  • Whats funny bout the video is when i went to see wicked at the capital theater in Sydney (Australia) with my mother, my 2 sis and my granny as soon as those ompa loopa dudes came on stage it scared the shiz outta my sis and she's 21 years old! xD

  • @katedateangus u saw it in the Capitol?!? so did i! Who did u get as Elphaba and Glinda? I got Jemma and Lucy every time :P

  • @chloe1160 i donno i have the booklet of the cast but i lost it somewhere in my house 'n' i tried finding it and i didn't. thought i think some of the cast memebers was away so they had their backups do it but atleast i got to see the guy from 20 to 1 host play as the wizard! everyone clapped and cheered when he came on :)

  • @katedateangus i love how you used SHIZ ;)

  • I'm seeing this in Boston next weekend. I'm so excited!!!!!! I can only hope the new Glinda and Elphaba will be at least a tenth as good as Idina and Kristen :)

  • 2:13 look her glasses fall off when she moves her head and she tries to catch them xD

  • SUCH A DREAM TO SEE THSI AND EXPERIENCE THIS THANK YOU THIS WOULD BE A TRUE DREAM OF MIEN TO PERFORM IN NEW YORK IN THE WINTER IN A MUSICAL LIEK THIS SUCH A AWE FEELING <3

  • It's gonna be tricky adapting this glorious stage musical into a film without losing it's charm. Yes, the special effects will be wonderful, but can that stage experience be captured on film? That intimacy and mystery that is WICKED ??

  • @ScrapNfight i know what you mean. i haven't actually seen WICKED (i've wanted to so desperately) but i've seen other stage shows and that atmosphere is something that really can't be experienced anywhere else. all the wonder and magic. the best thing i can say about a WICKED film would be the chance to preserve some semblance of this musical for years ahead when we won't be able to see it performed.

  • God, what I would do just to see this musical! I've seen West Side Story, Fiddler on the Roof, Beauty and the Beast, Annie, but DAMN I haven't seen Wicked! And I've been DYING to see it ever since I heard it EXISTED!

  • i think the amazing and intricate moves by the dancers get overlooked here.. really cool stuff

  • One short day is just too damn short...

  • HUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

    AHAHAGA

  • at 2:132:14 Idina's glasses flies off when she's turning her head! you can see it in the background and you can tell she's laughing!

  • 1:12 is lady gaga!!! jajajaja 

  • It's soo funny because Kristin Chenoweth was sick on this day..and you can't tell

  • Indina will always be the Wicked Witch and Katie Couric will always be the best on Today

  • Wicked is in Ohio next month i am soooooo going to see this!!

  • @MsBigmak19 OMG you absolutely have to! I just saw it at the Palace. It's incredible.

  • I love Love LOve LOVe LOVE this musical.EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEE! Idina, Kristin, you guys are amazing! I wish I could sing like you. (I'm better at plays. I'm a so-so singer and ummm.... let's not discuss dancing. )

  • lady gaga at 1:11

    just kidding

  • I WANT EMERALD SPECS!

  • thats pronounced ih-dih-nee-ah NOT ee-dee-nah!

  • they don't look as good because they don't have as much make up on lol

    (I STILL LOVE U IDINA AND KRISTIN)

  • was that lady gaga who took the picture??? she looked identical!!!!!!! probably not though...

  • they're miming! no mics....

  • @greengoblin200 the mics are attached to the heads. The cast has no mics because it's outside it's hard to hook up mics outside because of the weather. But the leads have little mics that come up behind them and usually come out of their hairline. They're really small, I've had to wear one before. Strong but sooo powerful.

  • i hope they make a wicked junior and dont butcher i love this musical i cant wait to see it im gonna sing defying gravity for my school concert but im nervous terribly=(

  • 2:23 what's with those weird things

  • @crazylegoproductions WIZOMANIA!!!

  • i wish i had seen them!!! i saw dee and erin!!...but they were awsome 2!!

  • I bet that REALLY promoted the show.

  • i wanna see this musical. sadly they're not coming to Asia. i guess.

  • @opticalworld I thought Wicked hit Tokyo. Check the website. They're still touring.

  • @FullArius Tokyo. wow. i wish i could make it but im pretty sure i couldn't. :( i couldn't afford a trip to Japan. lol

  • @FullArius they're touring in KY too

  • aww.. they sound soo good together.. Adorable!

  • Rofl, this song keeps reminding me of the song in Charlie the Unicorn 3... =P

  • @lickertamer haha, i think that may a guy..

  • The fat heads were HILARIOUS!! I love this song so much one of my favs!!

  • I loved the fatheads.

  • rare to see live singing at the parade, but these kristin and idina are actually talented unlike pop artists who perform!!

  • wow, kristen and idina both look stunning!

  • Those things at 2:13 scare the crap out of me.

  • 1:11. It's Lady Gaga! Haha. All kidding aside, great performance.

  • @socks9995 I TOTALLY thought that too!!

  • Idina and Kristin are the best Elphie and Glinda they are amazing.

  • I am their number one fan!

  • loved it. best musical ever.

  • 2:09 Does anyone know where to get those egg costumes from? A halloween store? Me and my class are doing this song for a concert, and we need help figuring out how to make those egg dudes.

  • they custom make them. you cant get them anywhere

  • @lilmisstiny5

    I think you might need to resort to paper mache :)

  • Seriously Why is Kristin Wearing that??

  • maybe its november and its cold ?

  • Probaly But the yellow dress is better

  • true. the yellow is te orginal, but the dress isnt that bad.

  • @meco5020

    The yellow dress is not suitable to wear in cold weather. The blue dress is longer and warmer for Kristin to use. :)

  • @jnetusil they are????

  • unfortunatly they are.

  • wat the hell is kristin wearing?

  • wth is up wit dah heads?

  • Lady Gaga....hahaha. Looks like her, actually! (-:

  • @melissadiane86 it really really does look like her!

  • @melissadiane86 it does!

  • IVE SEEN THIS MUSICAL TWICE IN SAN FRANCISCO!!! IT WAS AMAZING! Kristin Chenoweth is my hero! i love her!!!!

  • the lady with the camera at 1:11 reminds me of lady gaga :/

  • LMAO IKR

  • What happens if the 3 people in the full body suits tip over?

  • @CitizenOfWonderland Ooohh, that would be disaster.

  • @CitizenOfWonderland everybody laughs?

  • i actualy think i remember this

  • CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THIS AAHHHH!!!!

    Kristen seems a little nervous at the beginning.

  • seeing it for the fourth time December 19th

  • i saw this two years ago in chicago, and last week in Wichita. i loooove this musical.

  • i saw this yesterday in Kansas City... it was SO good!!

  • Y is Glinda wearing a blue dress?? In the show doesn't she have her yellow one on? Love this song btw!!

  • @mikeride101 probably because it was cold, and the yellow one she probably would have freezed her arse off!

  • ahhh i cant belive i missed this! ahhh! seeing it in April!!!!!

  • wow, this is amazing, my choir class is going to see this musical and we are singing this song in our christmas concert and im trying out for one of the solos but this is so amazing how its performed

  • Wicked is coming to Denmark and Finland!

  • Wicked is coming to Richmond, VA in March and you can bet I'm going. And yes, I'm bringing MY best friend along!

  • ime going then too!! but im going with my sisters and cousin

  • This play was SO amazing... I was thrilled when I saw it.

  • hahaha libreeees.

    hahah

    best song and musical ever 11/10 *thumbs up*

  • you have 11 thumbs lol

  • One of my favourite songs from Wicked. Its a great duet. Love it.

    It was great live, when I got to see it!

  • You know what i've wondered, whenever they performed this song, kristen never wore that yellow dress. Is it because it shows to much maybe, idk since there are kids there, or like is it cold, i dont think it shows anything.

  • i think its just cold.

  • yea that would've been my best guess 2.

  • more around the lines of its really freakin cold in new york in the winter. i went two years ago a couple of weeks before thanksgiving and i was all bundled up basically

  • lmao i live in the city. I guess im just used 2 it XD

  • The dubbings off at the end :S

  • OOOONNNEEE SHOOOOORRRT [[the wizard will see you now]] DAAYYYY - Love that part!

  • Me and my friend having fun:

    "Ooh, that man in green is cute!"

    "Which one?"

    "That one dressed in green!"

    They're so good!!! I love them!!!!

  • they didn't miss a single note. These two are the best glinda and elphaba

  • @psychic92 It sounds like this is the same as the album version of this song...a lot of times at the macy's parade it's not live...it's all lip syncing...I'm not saying this is, but I wouldn't be suprised. If you listen to the original recording, it sounds really similar.

  • @singing1sweetheart22 I think this was lip synched...

  • @15ShaunC

    same here....when glinda says "two best freinds" it just looks...fake for some reason..but it still was a great performance =D

  • @15ShaunC Welll duh... look where it was filmed... you could never get that kind of sound in the middle of Manhattan.

  • I don't even understand how incredible Kristen Chenoweth is. The way she sings "...two best friends" so effortlessly at the end is unreal.

  • I was in training choir witch then evolves to a world class choir and we sang this song and I totally fell in love with this song it was soooooooooooooo amazing!

  • wicked is my favorite muscal EVER!

  • i loved wicked when i saw it A-MAZING

  • Is this the only song you've listened to? Or have you heard "For Good?" Because, sweetie, that's the true meaning of e-m-o-t-i-o-n.... "Now whatever way our stories end, I know you have re-written mine, by being my friend..."

  • you are so dumb this is the biggest most popular show and one of the few shows the audience is actually crying at the end. Its very emotional.

  • Ok sorry im pretty confused and hard to understand where your coming from. I havent taken any music ed class before though.

  • i've seen it twice so far with kerry ellis playing elphaba and diane pilkington playing galinda, but i'd love to see idina and kristin one day

  • you should see alexia khadime

    i think she is really really good as elphaba

  • cant wait to see wicked

  • That Happened To Me...My Friend And I Sang This Throughout The hotel Before We Went To Our Room!

  • i saw this two years ago at gershwin i think and i was so upset cause i thought it was still going to be these girls singing and it wasn't. but it was still amazingg

  • they both left like 4 years ago :P

  • The book is completely diferent from the play. The play is better. It would be nice if it were on dvd so I could see it again.

  • I gest cant get anough of dis

  • Today, I was in a play thing, called Wicked, and we did this song and a whole bunch of others.

  • This was the very first I ever saw of Wicked. After this, I was hooked.

  • Comment removed

  • damn this has been out for 6 years i mean it just never clicked.....i hope its still out so i can see it my mom promised

  • i remeber watching this at my friends house!!!! we were like 10 and we even sang along cuz she has the soundtrack

  • they are :s

  • lawls. Do you have any idea how cold it is outside? Those costumes were made to breathe and move. Perfect for a stage which gets heated with lights. Outside in the snow, they're freezing.

  • huh? they are wearing their costumes!
