  • i love the lady who's knitting during the interview..

  • Anyone else notice how LIKE IN THE BOOK the origonal Fyeiro( probably spelled it wrong) has "tattoo" things. Oh why did they change that????

  • @litttlevilpixi4 Matt Willis is currently playing him in the West End, so I guess that version of Fyeiro has tattoos lol.

  • As much as everyone loves Idina and Kristin, I think that the current London cast is amazing with Rachel Tucker and Gina Beck. I think that Wicked is kind of better with British accents because Rachel is a really sarcastic Elphaba and it works really well.

  • 2:30 HAHAHAHA LOVED IT!

  • either that or it should be an animated Disney movie :) That could be fun!

  • Comment removed

  • @OfficialCharEdwards Oh my gosh that could be so freakin' adorable and then Kristin and Idina could be Elphie and G(a)linda! :D

  • @SydTheGuitarKid No way, I reckon they should get a new cast. I love Chenzel but it's done. Neither of them WANT to go back to it. And there's already a Chenzel recording. And I think it should be in British (accent). That would be so cool!!!! Imagine if they got people who've never done the show before, they might be AMAZING! x

  • @OfficialCharEdwards The OBC isn't my favorite cast, but I like when the OBC gets the first opportunities regarding the roles they originated. My favorite Elphaba is Eden Espinosa, but she'd be too old for the role live action also. I just hope Lea Michele isn't Elphaba. I don't deny that she's talented, but she doesn't feel like she could really pull off Elphaba to me(Begging for Gleek hate mail). Also, I'm obviously biased because I'm American, but I prefer Wicked with American accents. ^-^

  • Personally I don't think it should be made into a movie. I think it should be filmed live one day. Not yet though, it's doing far too well! As for Chenzel returning, I don't think they will in a million years. I would quite like to see Louise Dearman, Rachel Tucker, Stephanie J Block, Megan Hilty, Eden Espinosa or maybe even new people take on the roles if it were filmed. Just my opinion. Doesn't have to ALWAYS be Idina and Kristin, as much as I love them. :/

  • Winnie looks distracted cuz she's knitting.

  • I saw this show live on Broadway earlier this month (Birthday gift from my girlfriend) and it exceeded my expectations. Jackie Burns performance as Elphaba was amazing.

  • body can replace Idina and Kristin. Disagree, fine but nothing will ever change my mind.

  • As much as I want this to be made into a movie because I've never seen the show live and only watched the one that was Kristin's last show on YouTube, I kinda don't want it to be a movie. I will wait as long as it takes to see Wicked live but I fear that making it into a movie will take away from it, take away the magic and the connection everyone has. I'm scared it will get ruined if it becomes a movie. And then there's choosing the cast... I don't care how good the cast is even on broadway no

  • @nibby95 i do agree with you having mixed feelings about turning the show into a movie, 'cause it might take away the magic of it all. i mean, watching the flying scene in DG will never be as awe-inspiring using CG special effects.

  • @atheneum7 exactly. also for a movie the songs will probably be pre-recorded and tweaked and it just won't be the same. like you said with the flying scene, it's great to see that live but on camera anything can be done using green screen and all that. the cast won't always be together like they would be onstage or back stage. they would show up to film their parts and then leave so less bonding. there is so much that would be different.

  • @nibby95 watching live theater is just a different experience entirely. also, the casting will be quite tricky. admittedly, i'd be biased and won't be able to help but compare whoever will play these iconic roles with the originals. just the other day, i caught this commercial of wicked run in singapore, and they included a clip of DG showing the touring Elphaba but with the original recording of Idina in the background. i found it quite amusing!

  • @atheneum7 yeahh the originals can't ever be replaced! And REALLY?!? that's so funny! wow i want to see that commercial! it was probably really funny :P

  • i've always wanted to see this musical. al-ways

  • The would be sooo much fun but a lot of hard work.

  • BROad way!

  • love how the author is knitting something GREEN!!!!

  • Lea Michele doesn't deserve to step into Idina's shoes.

  • @andrewvanbuskirk Totally agree. Come on! She's not even close into the perfection that Idina is.

  • Anyone notice Glinda's "Popular" dress is blue starting at 6:27? I'm glad they made it pink. :)

  • I don't want anyone in Glee having anything to do with Wicked if it becomes a movie. No. I'm up for unknown actors who can blow the songs away. An unexpected find like Rachel Tucker would be lovely. Idina cannot belt. I don't care what anyone says. Yeah she can HOLD those notes but not steadily. Teal, Rachel, Eden, Nikki or Shashona can and they can belt like the dickens.

  • Has anyone else noticed Stephanie J Block dancing in the foreground at 6:08?? I don't know how many times I have watched this and I only just noticed her. I forgot that she was still associated with the musical after Idina joined the cast.

  • For some reason Norbert Leo Butz (fantastic name btw) who plays Fiyero, reminds me a bit of Michael C Hall (Dexter) in this. heh love it

  • Hahaha, Galinda is like "I am not amused" :D I FREAKIN LOVE THIS SHOW!

  • Lea Michele and Carrie Underwood?

  • around 6:11 i'm pretty sure that's stephanie j block and derrick williams dancing. they starred as elphaba and fiyero in the 1st national tour. its so cool to see them in this video!!

  • I remember the time I saw Wicked this summer....

    I was waiting 2-5 years to see this with my dad. (He REALLY wanted to see it too!)

    And I remember the lights going down and I got this really weird feeling in my stomach and there was tears in my eyes.

    It was just like a dream come true.

  • @lilSinger4ev thats like when i saw it; i cried the whole time.....my dad didn't give a fuck though and i had to beg for him to get the tickets

  • If the OBC isn't in the movie, I'm not even going to go see it

  • Rachel Tucker and Louise Dearman from Wicked in UK have to be ine the movie ;)

  • I just watched Wicked tonight and it was one of the best Broadway shows I've ever seen!

  • I LOVE Derrick and Stephanie dancing together at 4:01

    Future Elphie and Fiyero :)

  • I saw this on Broadway last week with Teal and Katie!! They were amazing but no one beats Kristin and Idina!!!

  • I actually reckon this being a movie would ruin the whole musical. Though it would be cool

  • "Can you move over more central?"

    "yes I can."

    oh Kristin:)

  • I WONDER HOW THEY WOULD DO DEFYING GRAVITY IN THE MOVIE

  • OMGGGGG... I seen the play Wicked!!!!! at the Kennedy Center In Dc

    last night and it was very beautIful, romantic, tragic love story with a

    happy ending when Galinda and Elphaba was very close best friends

    at the end of the play!, the scenery and special effects was so awesome

    I would love to see the play again REAL SOOOOOON!!!!!! =)) <3 IT!

  • Katie is the best Glinda!

  • Has anyone else ever noticed how much Lea Michele from Glee looks like Idina?

  • @popcornzoe they cast Idina as Lea's mom in Glee and its so perfect, They could really be mother and daughter

  • @popcornzoe I'm pretty sure thats why they made her her mom.

  • @ElleAri94 on glee I mean.

  • @popcornzoe Yep~! Glee producers noticed it too which is why Idina plays her mom. The resemblance is uncanny~!!!!!

  • @popcornzoe Yea It's almost creepy!

  • Boy it's good they dropped "Get Me to the Party," what a dog of a song. They also really worked on making Fiero much more attractive too (costumes, hair pieces...) Definite improvements!

  • Get me on broadway I can sing and dance I can do it all

  • umm anyone else love how idina menzel is wearin green?

  • @JGuar1212 OMG, I noticed that too, I thought it was Wonderful! :DDD

  • woohoo

  • Seriously, WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN INTO A MOVIE YET??!! It should've been a movie YEARS ago! Fingers crossed that when/if it becomes a movie they get Idina and Kristen to reprise their roles as Elphaba and Glinda!

    I also think that if Idina couldn't do it that Lea Michele could do it. She's like a mini Idina! Seriously!! Plus she's been on broadway too in the musical "Spring Awakening" and is a REALLY good actress! X3

  • @whitelily0093 and maybe Carrie Underwood as glinda bc of her range

  • @whitelily0093 Yuck no, Lea Michele is THE WORST. Her voice is so "pop" and just, ugh. She would be okay as Nessarose (and she and Idina could pass for sisters), but DEFINITELY not Elphaba.

  • @aerdna14 well, I wouldn't say she's the worst. all the people on Glee are talented. So are the other Wicked actors. They just aren't Idina and Kristin.

  • @aerdna14 I don't think Lea's THAT bad but after thinking about it for a bit I kinda agree w/ you. She doesn't seem like she'd be too good as Elphaba. Nessarose would be okay but yeah.

  • @whitelily0093 I just can't stand her voice. She doesn't sound "Broadway" to me, her voice sounds very "pop" and nasal and I can't stand it. I wish that Rachel wasn't always referred as the "star" of Glee, I think that some of the others (ie Kurt, Mercedes, Tina) have far nicer voices.

  • @aerdna14 Okay now that I do REALLY agree w/ you. There are so many others on that show with REALLY good voices and I don't actually like when people refer to her as the "star" of Glee too. Technically speaking the ENTIRE Glee club (+ Mr. Shue/Matthew Morrison) should all be equal stars since we follow all of their high school lives ya know? And yes Lea/Rachel has a nice voice but there are other great voices there as well. So... yeah, I agree. :)

  • @whitelily0093 They are making a movie soon. It's in the works. Wicked coming to theaters 2014!!!

  • @itchykawa For real?! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD

  • @itchykawa I just hope they don't screw it up though and cast shitty singers just because they're big names and then autotune like crazy. That ALWAYS drives me absolutely bananas and it will just ruin it.

  • @whitelily0093 ive looked,,, and theyre about to make one!!

  • @whitelily0093 Because Wicked is still a massive money-maker on stage. Schwartz has confirmed that he's working on it right now, but that real production won't be for a few years.

  • @whitelily0093

    i totally agree, but i kinda think that they're waiting for the popularity of the show to shrink a little bit, before they make a movie. maybe when the sales drop a little, i don't know... and i think that by making a movie, they could also buy a few more years of popularity on broadway, who knows... but god knows when will it happen. i think idina once said that by the time they start making the movie, she could easily be cast as elphaba's gramma... :D

  • idina and kristin have recently been informed by the producers of the yet-to-come movie that they will not be playing elphaba/glinda because of their "age". MAJOR disapointment. they could have pulled it off, actually, they would have pulled it off better than anyone will be able to ever do.

  • can anybody else find Stephanie J Block in here? i can!

  • i reeeeeealllu want (like everyone else) kristin and idina to be in the movie, buuuut i think kristoffer cusick should be fiyero . he was my favorite, haha .no ones really talked about who should be fiyero ..

  • They're starting to move forward with a movie version as of July...

  • @hornifyouarehonky R U SERIOUS!!!!!!!!!??????

  • @BroadwayOnTheBrain Yes. It's still in the early, early stages, but there is talk going around about it.

  • The movie is several years away in the future. They don't want to take away from ticket sales of the show. Idina has said this and she also said she might be too old which I wouldnt care because I would not see the movie if Idina and Kristin weren't in it.

  • @milesadrift i would because i would want to compare them with the ppl in the movie

  • I love that all the way through the section with the dance rehearsal and even when the guy is talking you can hear Idina and Kristin in the background rehearsing and cheering them on lol

  • Lol at Idina's voice when she says "your voice" during What Is This Feeling

  • seeing wicked the musical: best decision ive made.

  • I <3 Idina's laugh. I <3 Kristin in general.

    Wicked = pure genious and <3

  • i know stephen schwartz personally!

  • @swimmer1103 LUCKY!!!!!!!

  • @swimmer1103 seriously?! Wow i wish i was you!

  • hey you playd in glee!!!

  • Take Kristen & idina for the movie these girls are the best Glinda & elphaba:)

    I loveeee them!

  • now if they made a movie they should keep Idina and Kristin as the main parts but for most of the others change them

  • @gabbytwilightgirl The need to keep Fed as Nessa :) She has such a sweet voice that helps to bring a softer side to Nessarose :)

  • @LittleMissMe2006 but isnt nessa supposed to be the bad one? why would you want her to have a softer side if shes bad?

  • @chips240 I don't think she is all bad, plus having a slightly softer side helps to make her more human and believable as a character. She genuinely loves boq, she does care for Elphie :)

  • 6:49 over norberts eye you can see a part of a blue dimond which fiyero had in the book but when they tried it on stage in off brodway runs it didn't work out

  • Hahaha, cracking up, that one of the narrators is giving this interview while knitting! Something green!

  • My 11 year old daughter is obsessed with this show. She saw it once in Providence and listens to the music constantly and knows all the lyrics. She actually sings pretty well and I think would be perfect for Glinda! Maybe she can be in the movie! That would be amazing!

  • Hey. At 4:01 that's derrick williams and stephanie j block(future fiyero and elphie) on the right!

  • @henryflores1997 I NOTICED THAT TOO! :D

    Also, at 6:10, you see her dancing.

  • They're making a movie?

  • @dancergirl0215 They better be!!!

  • they really should use the original cast for the movie.. :D

  • seven people aciddently clicked the thumbs down :(

  • @juantheactor i wish i wa in it

  • I'm glad they replaced that Which Way is the party song with Dancing Through Life. Which Way Is The Party doesn't sound Wicked enough

  • I swear, if this were a movie, it would be the ONLY thing I'd ever watch. I've been a fan of it since 2007 and FINALLY saw it live 2010. I swear, watching its movie would a dream come true!

  • I swear, if this were a movie, it would be the ONLY thing I'd ever watch. I've been a fan of it since 2007 and FINALLY saw it live 2010. I swear, watching its movie would a dream come true!

  • @xXConverseGirl101Xx I am the same !

  • Love the dancing

  • i really think that wicked should become a movie with Kristen Chennowith and Idina Menzel... There wonderful actors....If you do you guys should ask the actors from glee to be apart of it to..I LOVE WICKED!

  • @musicandus1 If you want to sing a petition to get them in the movie, the link is on my channel. I signed it. Twice. :)

  • @musicandus1 Kristen and Idina yes. But leave Glee to itself, please!

  • @musicandus1 no glee actors I find them annoying and to well known now, I'd stick with present of rpast cast members of the production

  • @musicandus1 All I can say about that (other than "Great Idea!) is: facebook[dot]com/Wicked.FilmTh­ePlay

  • @musicandus1

    I think Lea Michele would be a great Nessarose

  • @musicandus1

    In my opinion, I don't think the Glee actors could handle Wicked (Don't worry, I love Glee) but I don't think they could have that voice...or acting parts. I can't see them in it, I think Eden, Idina, or someone on Broadway who did the musical should be in it. So they know what to except and there's no hestiation. That's just my opinion.

  • i adore this show,

    it makes my life

    i would do ANYTHING to meet Idina and Kristin

  • I LOVE WICKED!!! Please check out my Trailer:0)

  • Wow those dancers are amazing!

  • 4.10 you can hear another cut song from the show Yellow Brick Road Not Taken XD AWESOME!!!

  • Idina Menzel is SOOO pretty! She's a great actor and singer, too!

  • I live idina at 8:21 :D

  • i really wish they had stuck w/certain things they did in the workshops ('which way to the party" , dance sections, etc), but they know why they did what they did, and it's given us what will surely be a classic american musical for the ages :D I LOVE WICKED!!

  • glinda looks just like Kirstin Chanoweth!!!

  • thats cause it is. derr

  • @TinaLynneProductions ooooh boy dont i look smart now

  • anybody else notice the fact that idina menzel is ALWAYS wearing some sort of hat?:)

  • why are you guys so obsessed with the casting and such? cant you just love the songs and the story and end it with that?

  • Oh I thought sjb wuz shoshana bean

  • she is also at 4.04!!! love her!

    <3333

  • Is that SJB from 6:08 to 6:16?

  • yep! and i'm not sure, but I think the guy she was dancing with played fiyero at one point(:

  • who is SJB?

  • Stephanie J. Block

  • Here would be a good cast if they were ever to make it into a movie

    Elphaba- Kerri Ellis (she is an amzing elphaba)

    Kristin Chanoweth- ( she hits the high notes like no other gilinda iv ever seen but only problem is shes getting up there in age so it will be a little harder to make her a collage student)

    Nessarose- Michelle Federer (she did a phenominal job on broadway)

    Fiyero- Richard Blake

    Madame Morrible- Carole Shelley

    The Wizard- Joel Grey

    Boq- I dont really have a pregerence

  • I

    LOVE

    THIS

  • hey one of the main girls the dark haired one her name is elphie in the play i think? she played in rent!

  • @buckweed226 Yeah her name is Indina Menzel she is awesome you should check out her CDs

  • Stephanie must have felt horrible when they told her "Hey you get to be understudy cause this lady is more famous than you!" i know why they did it but its still harsh

  • I disagree with this, SJB herself said that they went with Idina because she had more experience then her...Winnie Holzman herself also said she had NO idea who Idina was before she walked in, and plus, they went on a nationa wide search for an actress and Idina was one of the last ones to audition and she nailed it (well...sorta, she kinda funked up a note and swore outloud hahaha)

  • 1:35 - 1:37 idina has a vauge smile on her face like she's about to burst out laughing.

  • Oh my gravity was that really Stephanie and derick (is that how you spell it?) and they were the original elphie and fiyero in the workshops I think

  • How old is Norbert (Fiyero) ?

  • wow..........he looks so weird there doesnt he?

  • I wish I could meet kristin for one reason because shes up and down and all around. not hiper, but she keeps you going. She would probably kill me, because of her jokes, from laughter.

  • I LOVE Stephanie and Derek dancing together at 4:01

    who knew they would be fiyero and elphie one day :)

  • In 6:20, there's Kristopher Cusack who is also a Fiyero.

  • @Yahiko25 Kristy Cates is in there too.

  • @Yahiko25 Stephanie J block and Derrick Williams are in there too.

  • what about GLEE!!!?%Proxy-Conne

  • there's this really posh theatre near my place and we go for all kinds of shows...

    sadly there has'nt been any good productions for a long time,at the momment it is showing "the sound of music" whitch I think is totally CRAP because it is just so typical! ok we get it! but I wish one day they'de bring wicked

  • i watched tht , it woz a skl trip , aylward skl :D

  • omg! the "which way to the party" dances are so cool!

  • I didn't like the way they did dancing through life.....

  • Some of that choreography reminds me of carrie. glad a lot of it didn't make the final show.

  • even if wicked does become a movie, from wat i've seen, broadway productions usually don't become a movie until like 10 years later anyway, so i guess we'll just have to see

  • Guys, I doubt they will do the movie. They are sick of Wicked!! As they have said tons of times, they loved being in the show, but they were in it for like 4 years! That's a long time, and after doing the same thing for four years in a row, it gets old. I don't think they would be up for doing it all over again especially in a movie. You guys just think "oh! they'll do it!" Obviously 4 years isn't a lot to you guys. They were in that show as long as you're in high school!

  • but movies are always different and i dnt think they're that sick of it. Anyways THEY havent been doin it for 4 years. they did it for about a year and a half and havent done it since '05

  • They have been involved in the production since the beginning which was a total of four years. They were performing on the Bway stage for a year and a half, but as for rehearsals and being involved in the creative process, they were with Wicked and put everything into it for four years, so um, hate to burst your buble but they were in it for four years.

  • Kristin has actually said numerous times that she would love to be in the movie

  • @DeeZeno3 idina 2!

  • @DeeZeno3 That's just awesome, coz I can tell you now that if they offered the part of Elphie to Idina she would accept straight away. I can tell you that it is definite, but nobody has been contacted about the movie yet.

  • @DeeZeno3 They need to make a movie with all the original cast in it, except the monkeys, because they can do CGI for that. If they make a movie with a different cast in the near future, I will be very put out!

  • i just want to add in, idina had a baby like a month ago, so she might not be up to filming a movie for a good year or two

  • Choreography is genius

  • they're not making a movie until the broadway production is closed. which might be a few good years. kristin and idina might not be in it depending on their age or weather if its based off the musical. it could be based off the book. who knows.

  • I think they want to wait to make the movie so that people will watch the Broadway show. But honestly, couldn't they just make the movie now so that Idina and Kristin could be in it and then release in a few years? I know that's not how it goes, but it would definitely solve the whole age issue.

  • it sucks, but for the movie, they aren't keeping OBC, at least not for their original roles. Think about it. Kristin is about 40, Idina is late 30s. no, that's not old, but when the movie comes out, they will be well into their 40s. These characters are supposed to be around 20. They can't pull it off. And I know they are so talented, but, let's face it, age is important

  • when are they making the movie??

  • i'm not sure. I don't think anyone is. Imdb won't tell you anything, because the page title says 2010, but the release date says 2016. all of the cast lists are rumored, there are about 4 galindas and elphabas apiece, and they are all what people WANT to have as their cast. the only thing that isn't rumored is that they ARE making a movie, but the rest is one big question mark
