They need to do with Wicked what they did with Rent. Film a stage production (perhaps without the audience) and film an actual film. That would be sooo amazing!!!
@80sgirl2010 I don't think Phantom of the Opera actually did that well as a movie. The key to making a great movie-musical though is to get SINGERS instead of actors to play the parts. And also to make it more visually interesting. Because the special effects on stage are not nearly as impressive on screen.
Nothing beats originals, but the show must go on!!!! Sadly, I never saw them, but idina and Kristin are on YouTube and I hav their recording. I saw Kerry and Dianne, and I am seeing the tour this summer. Can anyone tell me who's currently touring so I know wat to expect? Lol
I paid $85 dollars a ticket for box seats tonight in Syracuse, NY. Pricey but awesome show. I guess im paying for the handmade sets or some shit that guy said.
OMG! id been wanting to see Wicked since it first came out in Australia and Finnaly saw it in its second last week in Melbourne, i want to go to Sydney to see it again but my parents wont let me :(
I've seen it three times in New York and I'm going this summer to see it in London! I'M SUCH AN OBSESSED FAN OF WICKED!!!! Everyone should go see it!!!!
Can some kind peeps tell me what Alexia Khadime is like as Elphaba on the london stage at the moment?
I know she won't be Kerry Elis - but is she ok, or a total flop? Thing is, it's gonna be years before they replace her and I really wanna see Diane Pilkington as Glinda! So...reviews, anyone?
alexia khadime is incredible. she puts such emotion into her singing. it's great! and of course, dianne pilkington is just amazing as glinda. she IS the image of british glinda. Kristin Chenoweth is the best AMERICAN one. they're impossible to compare because they're so different. But yes. See Alexia! She's also a really sweet, lovely lady!
She is AMAZING!!!!!!!! She has such an unique voice, speaking and singing, which i think captures the voice and character of Elphaba. Her Defying Gravity is one of the best ones and her For Good made my mum cry (in a good way!). I saw her recently and was completely blown away, she is just as good as Kerry, Idina and Eden! Totally go and see her!
in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in.....in what?
I actually think that Dianne Pilkington portrays Galinda better than the original actress Kristin Chenoweth. If you look up the song popular, Kristin Chenoweth doesn't have that bubbly humor that Dianne Pilkington portrays very well.

you don't bealive this is what really happen in oz this is just a musical telling us this is the true story well i fore one think no this is a story people try to force upon us
I agree TwilighterFanpire123.Yeah i love Idina Menzel! She is an AMAZING singer, and i am SO glad they didn't make her ugly, she is absolutley BEAUTIFUL! Also i think the first is, and isn't the best because they don't have as much experience with it but they are also giving it their all, and it is unlike any of the other performances(exept maybe their last performance)in that they are giving it all their effort and it has SO much feeling and emotion!Also, if you like the musical READ THE BOOK!
Part of the point of this musical is that Elphaba is a normal person in every way except her green skin. It would not have served the story at all if they had made elphaba ugly. I don't really think Margaret Hammilton was ugly as the Wicked Witch of the West either.
Oh so true, I did not mean she was plain, I meant to say there wasn't any negative reason for her to be an outcast. But I get what ur saying, she is anything but normal.
I know Margaret Hammilton isn't ugly. But the way the movie portrayed the image of a witch as a rotten, ugly, woman with warts and such, and I agree it wouldn't help the story if they made Elphie ugly, that's why I'm glad they didn't, :D!
"paid" critics to hype em are gonna be the end of this industry. Come up with something original and you might make it. Keep pumpin out this shit, and youll have to find real jobs!!!! BooooHoooo!!
i respect your opinion, but i must say that i saw Wicked, and it was amazing!!!!
I wonder, does ur clear hostility towards this play have anything to do with you being rejected for a role in Wicked sometime in your "15 years in the industry"?
Well, I don't respect his opinion. First of all, since when is the Wicked musical a remake of a classic story? Wicked is based on an original novel that tells an extended story beyond a classic story. It's a derivative work that takes the Wizard of Oz story and gives it a prequel. It is, in no way, at attempt at a remake. It's your opinion that it's "shitty music" and there are a lot of people who disagree with you. Wicked doesn't need manufactured hype to continue selling out night after night.
People have been predicting the death of musical theatre for awhile now. If you don't like Wicked, don't see it. Just don't think you're going to change the minds of anyone who does just because you claim that it's a remake of a classic story with shitty music. And Defying Gravity is an incredible song, with lyrics in which many people can see themselves (myself included). That ability to identify with Elphaba is one reason so many love Wicked.
lmfao "in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in" <- thats the exact amount of in's.. uh huh im cool (NOT)... Wicked Is Soooo Awsomely Wicked Cool
hmm, there are so many good elphabas, stephanie j block, marcie dodd, and shoshana bean are who i prefer, but my opinions change often, although i love idina and eden though too, (just not as much as the others)...the only elphaba who i havent really cared for i think was...ana gayster
I have only seen Eden, Idina and shoshana, personaly I dindn't like shoshana much at all. And ana gayster looks like a dude:P
I love all the Elphapas no matter what, it is a brilliant and wonderful character, and you could not hate her no matter who played her. But Eden does the best version of elphaba, and she is a brilliant actor and singer. And I am looking forward to be following her career in the future, hope you will to=)
On tour here in Tulsa :) Everytime i was there Glinda and Elphaba got standing ovations
One night though i heard she didn't fly because of the guy how helps her fly was sick and it became a safety issue i think it was the second our third night while they where here in tulsa
I like in Australia but funnily enough i saw the new york one. IT WAS AWESOME!!! but my sis has just moved to Melbourne so i might get to see it again in Melbourne:)WICKED IS AWESOME!!!
You're partially right, but just look at the sets for Wicked and the sets of Cabaret.
Wicked is completely diff'rent story with a completely different set and it well may be that the production of Wicked is much much bigger than Cabaret. So, he could just tell the truth without forgetting Cabaret

A poor musical, which could have been much much better with better lyrics, better songs and better direction all round. The only decent song is Defying Gravity - it was the only thing that actually kept me awake throughout the performance in London last week. It is far too nicey nice considering just how dark the Wizard of Oz really is. It will be interesting to see Andrew Lloyd Webber's interpretation of the Wizard of Oz when it opens next year in he West End.
i saw wicked yesterday and i was disappointed, it is really good and i loved the dragon and the wizard and the song defying gravity, but some parts like when the green witch sings for 20 mins to her lover in the fog were soooooo boring
I saw the show on Broadway earlier this week. Everything about the production is first class, and the audience gave the actors a standing ovation. A wonderful experience that I recommend to anyone who likes the original work, The Wizard of Oz, or appreciates the work of Stephen Schwartz (Pippin, Children of Eden, Godspell, etc.)
Omg I luv luv luv Idina! So did anyone else see Wilson Jermaine Heredia from Rent..came opening night to support Idina? I thought that was really sweet. Kristin as always is amaaaaaaaaaaaazzzzing too!!
I get to see this musical in London in 5 weeks!!!! This will be my 2nd brodway musical that I'll get to see. My first was the Lion King on broadway :)
I havent seen the show yet...Im dying too! I've been a huge OZ fan almost my entire life and I just finished reading the book and I have to say, #1 Im glad I waited till I was 21 to read this cuz I dont think I would have understood it had I read it earlier #2 Its one of the most beautifully tragic tales I've ever read #3 I know they changed a lot of the story for the show but I still am dyyyiiinngg to see it now!!! :)
That's what I thought too! And it might be. If this was just a short segment from a longer documentry, then I wouldn't be surprised if it was Miss Andrews.
This is my fave musical ever!!!!! It is funny, it shows how no one was really bad in the original wizard of oz (except the wizard) and has AMAZING songs. BEST EVER!!!
I had rear mezz 2nd row from the last center stage and it was far far far away. The Gershwin Theater is HUGE! That said it was still excellent. Although some of the smaller actions on stage were hard to see.

Is that really Julie Andrews as the narrator? She's horrible. Listen at the start: "W-wicked". She's stuttering probably because she's getting older and uglier.
this is one of the most famous broadway musicals in the us of a. right up there with sound of music, seven brides for seven brothers, rent, and hairspray
I found this it is from an interview with Cheno done on September 13, 2008!
I absolutely would, says the actress of joining the cast of the upcoming film. I have a deal there with them, but if they dont hurry up I could be playing [headmistress] Madam Morrible. So they need to go now or Im going to be too old.
Well the film version rights are owned by Universal. The reason the film has yet to be done was they have to wait 5 years at least since it's Broadway debut to consider making it into a film. As for Kristen, She has said in many interviews that she would be willing to reprises the role she made famous. Even Idina has commented that should would do it. But something as long as Kristen would do it and if Schwartz would be on. And he supposedly said he has some ideas for the film.
Correction - the reason the film wasn't ever done was that the draft scripts weren't working. This, of course, was before the idea of the musical was introduced to Universal (and in particular, Marc Platt). A movie, as such, has been in the works for over 10 years.
From the start to the end..it's phenomenal!
I have been so lucky to see this show all over the world. It never disappoints.

I love this documentary. But what's up with the end? Julie Andrews just keeps saying "In".

I saw the show on Broadway earlier this week. Everything about the production is first class, and the audience gave the actors a standing ovation. A wonderful experience that I recommend to anyone who likes the original work, The Wizard of Oz, or appreciates the work of Stephen Schwartz (Pippin, Children of Eden, Godspell, etc.)

I havent seen the show yet...Im dying too! I've been a huge OZ fan almost my entire life and I just finished reading the book and I have to say, #1 Im glad I waited till I was 21 to read this cuz I dont think I would have understood it had I read it earlier #2 Its one of the most beautifully tragic tales I've ever read #3 I know they changed a lot of the story for the show but I still am dyyyiiinngg to see it now!!! :)

Nothing is the wrong word. The show is BASED on the book so it has very similar main ideas and points.

That's what I thought too! And it might be. If this was just a short segment from a longer documentry, then I wouldn't be surprised if it was Miss Andrews.

Hey I got rear mezz row H for wicked are those okay seats since a lot others were taken or too expensive
Whitewolf114 3 years ago
I had rear mezz 2nd row from the last center stage and it was far far far away. The Gershwin Theater is HUGE! That said it was still excellent. Although some of the smaller actions on stage were hard to see.

Is that really Julie Andrews as the narrator? She's horrible. Listen at the start: "W-wicked". She's stuttering probably because she's getting older and uglier.

But I guess I would be content with having Annaleigh as her, seeing as she's the second best :)

I found this it is from an interview with Cheno done on September 13, 2008!
I absolutely would, says the actress of joining the cast of the upcoming film. I have a deal there with them, but if they dont hurry up I could be playing [headmistress] Madam Morrible. So they need to go now or Im going to be too old.

why do they make EVERY single broadway musical into a movie? just leave wicked alone for a bit, it's too recent to be made into a movie already
fonziegee 3 years ago
What do you mean its new? Its 2 years old, thats considered old for a Broadway performance.
13Elphaba13 3 years ago
because not everyone can go to broadway and watch it! it's great to have your favorite broadway show at home to watch and enjoy whenever you want.
BDevilMan08 3 years ago
Well the film version rights are owned by Universal. The reason the film has yet to be done was they have to wait 5 years at least since it's Broadway debut to consider making it into a film. As for Kristen, She has said in many interviews that she would be willing to reprises the role she made famous. Even Idina has commented that should would do it. But something as long as Kristen would do it and if Schwartz would be on. And he supposedly said he has some ideas for the film.
Marvelous0ne 3 years ago
Correction - the reason the film wasn't ever done was that the draft scripts weren't working. This, of course, was before the idea of the musical was introduced to Universal (and in particular, Marc Platt). A movie, as such, has been in the works for over 10 years.
