Broadway Company of Wicked on the Today Show "One Short Day"

[6392Sarah]

awww i miss little 4'11 Kristin..haha having Galinda be so short just seems to be right to me..heh

[JBLoveSong]

@6392Sarah TBH! In the book Glinda was supposed to be taller :) Cause Elphaba was from Munchkinland and she wasn't VERY small but she wasn't exactly TALL.... I imagine her tall but hey let the Glindas be tall if they want to be :)

[just4erika]

OH I Wish that could have been ME! that would be a dream come true!

Idina Menzel is the best elphaba in this whole world ..then come the rest !

[winterstone21]

OMG!!!

she is sooooo lucky!!!!!

[swimmolly]

I herd that the woman had the baby there

[Disneydanny]

how do you know it was a baby being born. (i'm having trouble hearing over the singing, thus to me "come on mom it's time" cou;d mean anything

[SwayingAndSweeping]

omg 2:44 someones having a baby! listen closely!

[GodImSoTalented]

@SwayingAndSweeping "c'mon mama! its time!' lol i totally heard that!!!

[invaderzim1414]

2:53 "I can't hear shit."

Hahahha

The speakers were hecka messed up

[tstarkis]

i hope to play Elphaba someday.... who knows?

[100DiddlySquatxx]

Dreams DO come true!!!

[Elheru42]

I think everyone is so jealous of that lady. What an incredible experience.

[bobbie406]

im going to see wicked next week i cant wait

[teardropsofhope7]

I MET SHOSHANA!!!!!! Greatest moment of my life so far!!!Now I just have to get on meeting Idina and my life will be complete and I will officially have given myself permission to die.

[PeterPanDancer]

GAH!!!! That woman was so lucky. ^.^

[undiscoveredtalent94]

idina kicks ass!

[woofburger]

shshona sucks indina is better

[Seanbob1213]

hell yeah!

[YNBAfreak]

If you could spell the names right maybe.

[emilyonfirst]

donna vivino...

carmen cusack...

best elphabas...

[bookworm1138]

dare to be different! don't follow the crowd and say that the "big three" are the best!

[InhopesofJuliard]

@bookworm1138 What's "The big three"? Every one says that but im not sure who they are. Can u Explain? Because my favorties are Eden Espinosa Teal Wicks and Idina Menzel for Elphaba and my favorite Glindas are Annaleigh Ashford Kristin Chenoweth and Megan Hilty.

[bookworm1138]

@InhopesofJuliard the big three are three elphaba actresses that pretty much everyone likes: they are idina menzel, shoshana bean and kerry ellis

[InhopesofJuliard]

@bookworm1138 Oh ok thank you so much. Cuz everyone's just like "Be different don't like the big 3 and I was just completely confused. :) Thanks for clearing that up.

[bookworm1138]

@InhopesofJuliard how could everyone say that when pretty much everyone likes the big three? i think i'm probably one of few (if not the only) person on here who's ever said anything close to that

[InhopesofJuliard]

@bookworm1138 I forget who said it. But I don't like Kerry Ellis or Shoshana Bean. I'm starting to lose my love of Idina as Elphaba because the love is going to the Aussie cast and a few American Elphies

[tapdawg8]

Idk about Cusack, but I saw Donna Vivino and she was amazing...better than Idina I think. I met her @ the stage door and gave her and katie rose clarke a pinata i made that was 'wicked' themed. So much fun. I even told Vivino she was better than Idina, and she was like "oh i don't know about that..." lol. to get so far an yet be so modest...she's such a cool person

[emilyonfirst]

Yeah:)

I am completely in love with the First National Touring Company :)

Or, I guess, the old one (Donna, Katie, Amanda, Richard, etc.)

[tapdawg8]

wait no not katie rose clarke....i saw melissa bohon. I gave HER a pinata that was 'wicked' themed.

[invaderzim1414]

hahahahahaha

this whole performance was screwed!

the ribbon twirler at the beginning was getting all tangled

and "i cant hear shit!"

and all the people talking

hahahahhhahaha

i love wicked so much!

[gabrieljlivingston]

i can't hear shit

lmao

[musicinmyheadxo]

no one beats kristin.

just sayin.

[Seanbob1213]

agreed!

[kateaustin32]

omg i seriously love shoshana bean.

that's hilarious.

[phantom81074]

wth? 1801? lol

[anacrislima]

LMAO at "I can't hear shit" !!!! Sho is so funny!

[swedegirl13]

OMG Shoshana Bean is even better in person!!! She was the first Elphaba I ever saw and was AMAZING!!! She is one of the nicest people and such a great performer!!! I met her before and performed with her and cried both times she sang Defying Gravity!!! <3

[Wicked629]

"I cant hear shit" haha!!!!!

and at 3:54 shes like i still cant hear

shoshana is so funny

[BaggyJeansBoy]

"I can't hear shit"

[batortyler]

you cant even hear it that good

[tornadofreak123]

[Trebleguy471]

[borrrex]

I´m so jealous...

[realghost164]

If you all LOVE WICKEDGIVE ME A THUMBS UP...I cant wait till the next time this comes to utah I WANT TO SEE IT.........I HAVE THE CD AND my fav songs are. one short day,No Good deed, difying Gravity and popular

[Renthead11231]

i love all the songs (except sentimental man. it is a little boring. lol)

[HunnerFoster]

@realghost164 Everyone on this video obviously likes Wicked...are you just looking for likes? What is that? Oh and way to misspell Defying...

[realghost164]

@HunnerFoster Haha I dont know, I was bored then...haha I know I spelt it wrong, haha at least what people knew what I was talking about

[wearepennstate]

it's not anyone in the show that says the "i can't hear ****" at the beginning...it's someone in the audience who is too close to the stage microphones.

[skapowers]

it's shoshana bean.

[musikboi16]

Stage microphones? The actors are each individually mic'd as are the reporters, and the crowd mics (to pick up applause) arent distinct enough to pick up whispers.  Def. a cast member.

[tatyrules12]

no that's definately the great Bean...

[cutymermade]

omg nooo thats too funny when sho is like i cant hear shit and when she is like make an expression like i cant hear at like 3:54

omg i love her smile!!! lol

[PiNKRIZE]

i'd do anything to be part of the cast of wicked she's so lucky...how did she get in wicked? ! <3

...i heard something naughty at the beginning...o.O lol

[maybemaybenot160]

[xoTossTossxo]

[Shiner919]

[xoTossTossxo]

[ElphabaThropp122]

[kaytg89]

[tatyrules12]

[oboe726]

[Today4Ever]

AHH I WANT TO HUG SHOSHANA!!!!

[chip3dl]

that would be SOOOOOOOO awesome!!!!

i can't even imagine it!

i want to be that lady so bad!

She's so lucky!

[GuilleCarvajal]

I WANT THAAAAAAT!!!!!! omigod!!!

[kittypie12345]

These singers are great, but nobody can beat Kristin Chenoworth adn Idina Menzel.

[goudagirl11]

that's so true!

[princesszelda123456]

Amen to that :D

[tatyrules12]

i love idina too but with that statment i dont think youve heard shoshana do much she is one of the most amazing singers ever and that is no exaggeration u should go check out some of her stuff

[cdgunzz97]

@kittypie12345 I actually disagree, I mean, they were great, and the original cast is always hard to top off, but there have been better pairs than Idina and Kristen. I can def. say that Idina and Kristen had the best chemistry (followed by Shoshana and Megan).

[singer34109]

Wow! Good for her! That's awesome!

[qwerty1804]

When she described how she felt about broadway, I was just thinking, "Oh my gosh someone who actually feels the exact I do!"

[Today4Ever]

omg me too!!!! im pretty sure i was out of my seat when I saw it and i know i was during Defying Gravity

[SunDevilGirl11]

Aw, yay! I'm so happy for her! :D

[wickedphantomsweeney]

People who are that passionate need to be on broadway. I felt sooo happy for her that she got her dream, if only for one day :D

[hinatahugaclan]

elphaba is the witch (green person)

[WiCKEDxLOVE]

who is this elphaba?

[k9feces]

Shoshana Bean

[tatyrules12]

Shoshana Bean <3

[theangelq]

wow, if only that happened to all of us

[princessalkane]

Maybe Sho can't hear shit--but I sure heard.

[00soccergirl00]

haha, did they know the mics were on?

[ILoveWicked1505]

Haha Sho "Come on Mama it's time!" and "I can't hear shit!" ha I love her she's so funny. I love how she's just talking in the backround whenever the chorus is singing she's awesome!

[0Verdigris0]

Where did Shoshana say that?

[ILoveWicked1505]

At the begginging sometime when the song is just about to start.

[0Verdigris0]

Thank you, I just found it

[OMGitsGordy]

i am very jealous of the woman who got to be on broadway for Wicked!!!! When i was little, I was a Wizard of Oz FREAK!!! i was also Dorothy in my schools play The Wizard of Oz!! and I saw wicked in 2005 (sadly not OBC, but i loved it, even though it's not OBC!!) AND LOOOOOOVED IT!!!!! I WANNA BE IN WICKED SOOOO BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Elphie1988]

I can hear Shoshan Talking in the background, well the cast begins to sing, and she say shit!! lol. To funny

[Alevermor]

Lol...yeah, she's sounds worried because she can't hear anything in her ear piece (I'm assuming)

[tatyrules12]

haha yeah

i love when my fav broadway stars say bad words

eden has a pottymouth too

she left a comment on sho's facbook followed with a lot of swearing lol

[magicolive430]

I think it's weird that I know exactly what message you're talking about, lol

[guitarchicpt1]

that is sooo cool

[Taraisdabomdiggity]

yep thats my mama. =]

[BryanJrr]

no wayyy

[DefyGravity209]

She is soooooooooo lucky!She did a great job,and Shoshanna and Jennifer were great as always!

[DefyGravity209]

She is soooooo lucky!I bet it was a great experience,and Shoshana and Jennifer were great as always.

[notafraidoflove]

I LOVE when Shoshana's like "Come on mama, it's time." Hahaha.

[bane226]

It's more funny when she wears a bit after that. She says something about sh*t....I don't know what.

[jessegyllenhaal]

I AM BEYOND JEALOUS!!!!!!

[Exconkelly]

I wish i can preform on tv and in the school play. Im in the pit band. And the mikes were on early

[McOverboard]

haha look at 3:54 i think someone was like messing with her ear piece and shes like OW.

[hershe2005]

i screamed in her ear lol i work for bradway and was backstage she was saying the worng songs

[notafraidoflove]

No... you weren't. You're an idiot, lol. The people working "backstage" were people for the Today Show, and your ass would be fired if you were to mess around with the leads' mics. And she wasn't singing the wrong lyrics, so I don't know what would compell you to say something so stupid.

[hershe2005]

#1 you don't work with me #2 you don't know me #3 i woun't be fired we all have comunitcan mics

[notafraidoflove]

For someone who can't form a proper sentence or spell "wrong," "wouldn't," and "communication," I highly doubt you work with complex electronic equipment. I don't have to work with you and I don't have to know you to know you're lying. And that's regardless of the fact that I would never WANT to work with you or know you. I'm done, this is preschool- go fiddle with some more earpieces as your profession.

[dowling1981]

notafraidoflove - Your comment begs the question; Is it true that Voltar is due to be portained?

[notafraidoflove]

You ask that on every video you comment on. You should be a comedian.

[dowling1981]

How dare you

[princessalkane]

ROFL

[jokekiller13]

They did something very similar with Phantom awhile back. I think it was Broadway Cares, they were auctioning off a chance to appear on stage for the Hannibal scene which included creating a new character for one night and a special Playbill for friends or family (they also gave away four front row seats for the bidder's family or friends).

[spuffy57]

wow she is so lucky!!!

[KJsworld13]

lolz....great but Idina and Kristen are STILL better...

[pinkcrayon16]

that is so unfair!

lol oh well

[ictenor]

That's amazing they let this mother live her dream!

[coolestgymnastever]

PLEASE sign the petition at petitiononline dot com/elphaba!! help us get idina and the rest of the obc to be in the movie.. WICKED IS NOT THE SAME W/OUT THEM!!!

[wickedphant0m]

Ya...it's better.

[degeorgetitanic]

hmm let me guess, ur someone who has never seen them live right?

[wickedphant0m]

I saw most of the OBC live. There was some great talent in there, but I just cant stand it when people wont open up their minds passed the OBC of a show and recognize some of the amazing things that other performers have done with the roles.

[myvacsrock]

yeah shoshana bean says that i heard it!!

[xoamarie7892]

at 2:53 it sounds like "i can't hear shit... do you hear the thing in the --" lol and then it cuts off

[iheartwicked91]

yeah shoshana says it.

[xoamarie7892]

yes i know lol

[JFarmerAYC]

Oh, I hear it! Thank you!

[JFarmerAYC]

what time does Shoshanna say that she can`t hear anything? Is it after Katie Couric introduces them... i can faintly hear that, if so. Anyone and EVERYONE can hear the "C`mon mamma, it`s time..." who was she saying that to, if anyone knows...

[ozkid911]

LOL I think Shoshana said at 2:52ish "I can't hear shit. Can you hear anything?" LOL!!! I LOVE HER!!!!

[Shugo2206]

yay! Krissy and Idna!

[singer34109]

which Elphaba and Glinda is that?

[phantomphan1992]

Don't know if anyone answered your question, or if you figured it out, but Elphaba is Shoshana Bean (w00t!) and Glinda is Jennifer Laura Thompson.

[singer34109]

thankyou!!!

[phantomphan1992]

You're welcome! ^_^

[ManonFiyoxx]

Oh man. I love Shoshana. Hahaha, she needs to watch her mouth. =]]

[Bremen25]

i'm sorry, but i really think it would be better if it was a kid from Make a wish or something.

[sportc410]

Jennifer is so tall compared to the other galinda's

[Roflb3rryPwncakes]

Haha when does she say that? I was listening and was trying to think..

[SUArrow32]

its at 2:53 i think but i dont think its sho..

[afireinsidephoenix]

she's so lucky....damn i know what i am going to wish for lol...

when was it when shoshana said shit i couldn't hear lol

[macrent2]

Yep, they were talking behind the chorus and I dont think they knew the mics were on!

[amyvocalist]

That is so unfair!

[singer34109]

Broadway is only for proffesionals, not fans. Just because you are a fan of it doesn't mean that you have the talent it takes.

[Taraisdabomdiggity]

those were the funnest days ever!!! I am her daughter!!! the nerdy one with the jeans jacket and braces! lol no lie!

[meganhiltyexoh]

yea shoshana said it.

[tuffjello]

I totally heard it!! HAHAH!

[iheartwicked91]

wait some one said i have to take a shit?! who said that? i dont think it was Sho..LOL, cause shes all the way behind the ozians so IDK

[ThruAcceptingLimits]

em she said "i can't hear shit" i think, it does sound like sho but maybe not. maybe her microphone was on and she 4got! lol 'tis funny :)

[iheartwicked91]

oh ok thanks lol

[9ALLENRIDE9]

omg I just heard it! It was because it was VERY windy that day!

[ucantbringmedown]

haha yeh i noticed her saying that too, class lol. did any1 notice jlt making this little squeking noise or something when they got the glasses and shoshana starts laughing? lol i thought it wos amusing anyway....

[wickedislove]

OMG i love shoshana a JLT and i am so unbelieveably jelous of this women:P:P like really!!! i saw wicked in december and have been so obsessed ever since

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY PPL

[imdefyngravty]

[iheartwicked91]

yay you go guys! i'm happy for her but i wish i had that opportunity! oh well i'll keep dreaming

[kimokao]

lol that is totally sho :P that's so funny, and yay for this woman :)

[mcr28]

does anyone notice Shoshana says "i can't hear shit"? ha ha ha, it's HILARIOUS!!! and that is so cool...the gersh holds 18,001 so there is like an uneven seat? weird....

[taimoset]

HAHA I NOTICED! I replayed it like 10 times to make sure I wasn't hearing things. Oh, don't you mean 1,801? I read your comment and was like "OMGSH, the Gersh is that large?

[mcr28]

yeah i mean 1,801 sorry i was sleepy when i did that comment and could careless ha ha ha

[xarthab]

What is the time in the video at when she says that?

[GarlicToast]

2:52 I believe

[inlovewithJLT]

How can you tell it's Shoshana?

[mcr28]

i can tell cause i know Sho's voice like the back of my hand

[inlovewithJLT]

Oh. I don't, lol. That's col though!

[wickedsho792]

[WickedFabala]

[bronco090]

[RENTlover12345]
