I saw the musical in Chicago a few years back, and it is one of the best musicals ever!! (I just wish it would have been the one with Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel in it :( )
God this trailer sparkles more than Twilight... But either way, saw the musical this winter, it was AMAZING!!! Best musical I've ever seen, I will definitely go see it more as well :DDD
I went to see the London version of this a week ago, and I was stunned by the defying gravity song, even though I've seen it so many times on youtube. Wicked is amazing
Not being a woman, I will say, "Not really my cup of tea. Earl Grey. Hot."
Musicals and I just don't get along well with each other. Too full of singing and dancing in them. Which, I will presume, is why they're called "musicals".
@courtneyluvsglee Wow! That's a very, very, very tough one... Both are amazing!! If you only have the chance to see 1 of them, I would go for Les Miz please note that I LOVE/ADORE Wicked (it makes you cry, laugh and think)! But, Les Miz is just another level! An absolute classic and (IMPO) the King of musicals!!
@courtneyluvsglee tough one. i've seen wicked twice and i'm planning on seeing les mis. Wicked is something you'll never forget, it's definetely more 'effects dependent'. which just makes it more phenomenal. i would go with Wicked. les mis isn't much more than a bunch of (very talented) singers singing their hearts out to a storyline. Wicked tells a deeper meaning to a story all of us grew up with. wicked would be my choice.
@SGKayANobody I've made up my mind. I am hopefully seeing Les miz, it is the first musical I have fallen in love with and it's the first musical I want to see live. But there is no doubt Wicked will soon follow :) x
I saw the London show yesterday. It was amazing. I think this video promoted it pretty well. Lots of sparkle and colour. Its fun. Don't take it and yourself so seriously !!!
I wanna go soooo badly!!!!!! To bad Kristin and Indina don't do it anymore coz i'm sure they'd get a LOT of glee fans!!! I have always wanted to go before glee!
Why the hell would you ruin any clip of Willemijn Verkaik by putting Idina's voice over her? No offense to Idina but Willemijn is way, way better. Way better.
The Stuttgart cast is the best, in my opinion. I simply love them. And I love their promos. Except, they use clips of Idina and Helen with Willemijn's voice over for the German trailer. While we use Willemijn with Idina's vocie over. Very strange.
I do like this trailer though. I think it's filmed brilliantly.
@twilightfan1231000 they use Willemijn with Idina's voice over as well for The Netherlands (comeon, let Willemijn sing it herself, she blew everyone away at the promo performance, "ik lach om zwaartekracht musical sing along" ) and Singapore.
Wasn't Oberhausen Willemijn v/o Willemijn? Only Stuttgart Idina v/o Willemijn? Because that'd make sense. Like how they use foreign vids when commercials start BEFORE rehearsals. Little difficult to get footage otherwise.
@awesomelyxrandom: Because Idina was the original Elphaba (not counting Margaret Hamilton as The Wicked Witch in the 1939 film or Tress MacNeille voicing the same character in the 1990 DiC-produced cartoon series) and it is she we hear on the soundtrack.
When was it? because it was most likely Alexia or Rachel depending on when you saw it! tell me and i could tell you who it was if you don't already know =) Although it may have been Kerry
if it was 2010 you would of seen Alexia Khadime. Many believed her to be the prettiest Elphaba before she was taken over by Rachel. Although there are many other pretty Elphies such as Kerry and Shoshana (although all Elphaba's are pretty) Alexia's last performance was the 27th march so if it was before that and in 2010 it would of been her.
@bleusunn Actually, Willemijn's only 36 this year. And she would have been 33ish when this trailer was filmed. And I happen to think that Willemijn is gorgeous as Elphaba and as herself.
omg, i remember standing around in england, waiting for our tour bus to come pick us up, when i saw this commercial on a television they had there. i was all excited cuz i had just seen it the night before. i had never heard of it before i saw it, but now that i hav, i REALLY want to see it again, and i am just realizing how often i had overlooked posters and stuff for it before i saw it, and how excited i get when i see them now. :)
OMG my mum just told me she might take me to see this in london next year :) probly in the summer :) Really Really Excited cos it looks so amazing and i have all the soundtrack on my phone and i love all the songs :) caint wait. :) :) :)
Aaaah i love Wicked!!! hehe :D I think this video is great if it means more people find out about and go to se Wicked :) But im not keen on the glittery things theyve added if people go expecting to see that they will be disapointed :S Also i wish it had Kerry Ellis in it, she was the best Elphie everrr love herr :D x
lol yeahh i agree the glitter is TOO MUCH. but i dont think this is what is actually advertising it. It just came with the virtual Wicked E-PAC. i think they still use the short 1:30 minute one with the german cast. The german cast have better proshots thats why they use them. now if it had been Kerry Dianne and Oliver I would rather they be on it. Cause theyre my fave combination then the german cast are my 2nd. But yeah the old OLC video was kinda cool, but not as cool. Glitter(N)
@invaderzim1414 Stop complaining. Would you rather it was a boring trailer?? The glitter is to make it look magical. That's what "captures" the audience. And it's shown on a large screen sometimes in a theater tso it has that movie look sometimes. I love Wicked as well but stop making such a big deal out of nothing. I don't like the die-hard fans who think that EVERYTHING goes wrong.
The music is from the original broadway cast album. Idina Menzel is the one you hear singing. I don't think that there are official recordings with the current London cast. Too bad, because I love the voice of Kerry Ellis.
Wow Londan can't even use their own vocals.... they use Idina's....
