Wicked the Musical - Dianne Pilkington discusses costume changes

[stevmar96]

Holy grap I never would have guessed this was the glinda onstage....

[TheAwkwardMomentXD]

I saw her in wicked inI think it was 2006, Diane was amazing :)

[Merina2222]

Best Glinda ever :)

[DefyingGravityOz]

Freaky seeing Glinda NOT blonde haha!

[Glindaful]

The engagement dress is sooo beautilful.. too sad she wears it just that short time...!

[CallMeJaii]

the glinda costumes in this show are just fantastic. susan hilferty is a genius

[turkeypopcorn]

I LOVE the politician/thank goodness dress 

[mizyki]

I saw Wicked for the first time in november - in london. Then second time the 12 of January - it was the danish premiere. Apparently, denmark was the first country whom was allowed to change the costumes, and NO kiddin', most of them had at least 2 costumes more then in the english, and changed like... Every scene! It was amazing!

[xEllieWomble]

OMG she looks & sounds so different!

she's amazing :)

[hannah5399]

OMG

[becky5428]

love dianne :) wish she was back in wicked!

i totally do not think those heels are high though, saying that i walk around in stupidly high heels haha

[alexlynk]

Does anyone know what is worn under the "Thank Goodness" jacket? There's always a bit of corset sticking out the bottom... I'm thinking it's the top of the engagement ball gown?

However, the ballgown doesn't seem dark enough to be the one underneath... Hmmm...

[alexlynk]

@alexlynk Actually... it looks like it might even be attached...

[robbieLUVZdianne]

@alexlynk If you mean the engagement dress being attached, it isn't the bodice and skirt are 2 seperate pieces.

[TrufflesTheMushroom]

@alexlynk Most likely some sort of simple bustier.

[megzabeebee]

It's my dream to work in costume for theatre and the wicked costumes are such an inspiration to me!! I'm actually making the Engagement gown as I type this!! Great vid :)

[defying379]

Lets see if i have this right:

1) Bubble Dress

2) Shiz Uniform (with jacket)

3) Shiz Iniform (with shirt and best)

4) Popular Dress Back to 2nd shiz dress

5) One Short Day Dress

6) Thank Goodness Dress

7) I'm Not That Girl Reprise Dress

yep thats 7 costumes

[pistolpete100292]

bring back Dianne Pilkington as Glinda

[jordanhargett]

i LOVE the dress at 2:16!

[elphabagalindafiyero]

I LOOOVVVE Dianne! She's one of the best Glindas! Still, though, my favorite will always be Kristin, but I adore Dianne as well!

[BlueJeanBaby012]

This is the reason the show won a Tony for Best Costume Design... Damn.

[d0ggylover21]

whoaa i didn't know that the costumes went along with how Glinda matures! ;o

haha guess it's not too late to learn something new!! haha XD

[lifedoctor]

could the world fall?

[pjcp97]

for a soprano she has a really low voice!

[forgiveninasong]

@pjcp97 I am a soprano, and my speaking voice is pretty much in this region. My Mum thought I was going to be an alto, but I can crack out those high notes!

[pjcp97]

@forgiveninasong ok hope you're a good singer you can be glinda! lol

[Sam4God]

i miss her so much as glinda :(

[Merina2222]

I love you Dianne! Best Glinda ever!

IS ANYONE PLANNING TO FILM DIANNE AND ALEXIA'S LAST SHOW ON THE 27TH OF MARCH?!?!!? IF SO PLZ PM ME!!!

[entertainer1987]

I'm going to miss her! :(

[c00ki312]

her real voice is so much deeper than glindas and looks a little older too but i loved her in wicked..really funny!

[SnowboyLoveShelly]

I Never really thought about how the costumes matured with glinda but its really good xD

[LilBitch300195]

love those outfits!

[Merina2222]

She is incredible :D best glinda ever in my opinion, saw her last month. LOVE YOU DIANNE!!

[joelarama]

Di...You explained the dresses so well..X

[LWitchy]

LOVE her accent! The Glinda I can't wait to see! :D

[bobbie406]

im so excited to see her again loved her the first time cant wait!

[FunnyGuitarGrace]

She was my favourite when I saw her!

[spartan2600]

Where is karl pilkington.

[bezzybecks123]

WOT? i thought Kristein plays glinda

[PrettyEdible]

in the USA

[bezzybecks123]

oh is this the actress in the US?

[PrettyEdible]

No. this is the actress in London. the other one is the one in the USA

[bezzybecks123]

oh ummm ok thanx

[tapdawg8]

Kristin Chenoweth hasn't played Glinda for years...since like 04 or 05. It's sad but true. I know I'm rooting for her to be in the film...

[bezzybecks123]

oh i wasn't really up to date with the actors/actress cos my skool is taking me and sum of my friends and other people 2 c wicked in london next month and its my first broadway show so im trying 2 learn about who we r gonna watch on the stage b4 we go

[IrmaXrox]

If you get Glinda's understudy, Sarah Earnshaw, don't be disappointed. I was a little crushed when I found out we wouldn't be seeing Dianne but Sarah was amazing :)

[bezzybecks123]

yh i saw it live last night in london on a trip me and 5 of my m8s loved it first west end show!

[Jooma17]

thers a lot of glindas. id how many but i do know tha 55 different women (ihope women) have played Elphaba over the world. glinda probs has around the same.

[bezzybecks123]

yh thanx :) LOL

[bnorem09]

okay, i understand she's explaining her costumes, but what the hell is she wearing?

[bobbie406]

loved her in the show she made me laugh lots she brilliant

[ItsGalindaWithaGA]

I can't believe this is her real voice! ;o I think i'm to used to her 'Glinda-voice'... It's more high pitch or something.. :p It's funny to hear her like this x)

I LOVE YOU DIANNE!! <333

I'd soooo love to have a picture with her but i'm Belgian and i have no idea how to ask for an autograph and a picture.. =$ *Shame..*

[SarahOttahal]

dianne is such an amazing glinda! i saw her twice and she blew me away each time!!

[WickedFreak10111]

I still cant believe Dianne is still doing it! IS she still as good as from the beginning?

[xXangel201Xx]

yes I think she's even better now!

[sophiesings74]

x

4. Popular

5. One short day dress

6. Engagement dress

7. Thank Goodness Dress

[bobbie406]

[rachel950]

i love the shiz uniform and the engagment dress :)

[ilovefiyero]

i love dianne she is glinda to me

i wud love to play galinda on the stage esp for the popular dress hehe

[Pixiedori]

<33 Dianne! She's amazing!

[DaynajustDayna]

it would take too long to re-style the wig... its alot easier just to change the entire wig

[petterwoien]

ME and my brother and my mother saw Wicked in London last night, and they were like "HOW do they change so fast?"

I love WICKED:D

[frazrowley]

When I went I was really interested to know how she changed from the bubble dress to the shiz so fast. I always thought she would be wearing the shoes already because it's just practical but I was in the fourth row and I saw the shoes under her bubble dress when she came down.

[crazybabe0702]

Yeah, theres also a wig change from the curls to the... other hairstyle lol!

[dandymeupthewall]

a wig change? really? i would have thought maybe they just change the wig's hairstyle?

[wickedpuds]

yah the bubble dress is 2 peices, and the skirt is elastic and the top snaps in the back. so she runs off and rips the skirt down, snaps the top off, and snaps the jacket on. Somebody is changing her wig during that time, although i am startting to wonder if she just puts the jacket over the bubble top, but i dont think she does...

[SpiceBaby47]

Dianne is amazing!!

[100DiddlySquatxx]

Dianne is awesome! She is cutem and she looks good in the Glinda clothes. Personally, I think that the ballgown dress, is like a Jr. Version of the Bubble Dress if you look closer. I love her ad Glinda!

[Cald0m92]

I swear she only shows you six costumes

[wickedpuds]

she has two shiz costumes. she just doesnt show you one of them cuz it would be kindof pointless. She wears it during the train scene before one short day, and some glindas wear it at the beggining of dancing through life.

[Corbyjane]

I thought it was a blazer, a vest, and a skirt, and she takes off the blazer for DTL, and has it back on for the train scene.

[melinaemilymay]

she takes off the jacket, its not two completely different costumes.

[dixielover7]

Glinda wears some costumes twice. She said she has 9 changes but she wears some more than once.

[melinaemilymay]

bubble, thank goodness, ballgown, popular, school uniform, emerald city =]

[Cald0m92]

Thats only 6 tho lol... hmmmm

[BroadwayBabeify]

there are two different shiz uniform costumes. if you look up pic on google, she has the one with the little jacket and then the one with the little tie.

[MollyMxx]

Does she have a cold or something ?! Her voice is soo deep, even when shes not in character her voice is still quite high, but not here!

[leelee987654]

no this is how she normally speaks?

[fayexfaye]

no she actually talks like this! My pal sitting next to me now who has never mat dianne or seen her thinks she sounds like me normally. ... great! lol

[coolbean08]

love dianne! i know she puts on a glinda voice but her voice does sound deeper here than when ive met her at SD and stuff!

her outfits are so lovely, her bubble dress is my fav, just like elphie's act II dress is so gorgeous :)

i didnt know the engagement dress was oz green! i thought it was a paler blue...very similar to the bubble dress!!

[NobodyInAllofOZ1]

is it possible for her to come to broadway just for a bit like kerry!?!? she is sooo amazing i wanna see her ...i seen kerry on broadway and I really cant go to london so maybe she can..lol

[elphabalicious]

Dianne is so lovely, I loved watching this :) Thanks for posting! x

[xrhianopianox]

I <3 Dianne :) :)

Soo glad this is up here now (Y)

And I loove what she is wearing! I have a skirt a bit like that!

The costumes are all soo amazing! I love how the yellow Oz dress has hints of pink in it!

<3 <3 <3

[TimeToDefyGravityXXX]

is it me or is her voice really deep in this video lol

[LJayStar]

haha her voice is like that :P <3 Dianne

[kelbo1rox2your3sox]

*clapclapcalp* I love this woman! xD And wow, I never realized quite how beautiful the green ballgown is--it is very stunning! I even love what Di herself was wearing while showing off the costumes--simply lovely.

And when was this anyway? I note the wavy hair... I miss the wavy hair. xD

[dianadramaqueen]

She has the most beautiful costumes ever! :D

[hsioning09]

How dose she change so quickly from one outfit to another ?

[dobbyisnotdead]

They have dressers who help them get changed. And they do things like wear costumes under other costumes, that's more the ensemble though, but I think Dianne wears her Shiz shoes and possibly the skirt under her bubble dress.

[wheety1621]

yer you can def see she's wearing her shiz shoes for the opening and I'm certain she wears her shiz dress underneath so all she has to do is get out of bubble dress, change wigs, put shiz top on and hat then shes all set :-) Love Dianne!!
