@bookboybrs90 The bike had a black bag attached to the side. In it was her cape, which was already attached to the back of her outfit at the neck. She also carried her witch hat in her upstage hand and threw it on during the lightning strike. Also, that is a stunt double due to the fact that Ms. Worley had to get into green make up. (if you have any other questions let me know, I did the MSG version and toured with that show for 2 years!
Is There A way if you could E- Mail Me the Wizard of Oz (Msg) WHOLE SHOW (The one you uploaded here) plzz i have subscribed to you and love your videos!! QUESTION: How do you get videos from vhs's on to youtube?? =]
oh, ok. I thought this scene was amazing! I have tickets to see it in March and it's part of broadway across america and i thought it was the same thing. Thanks for posting this and for clearing up my confusion. :)
I saw this as a kid and I saw Mickey Rooney on stage which was totally cool as ever and the house falling onto the stage that was cool too! But it was in tempe at the gammage
i saw both Roseanne and eartha in the role in MSG and both were amazing. i only wish i was older when i saw it so i would have more and better memory of the show
No, this was a limited engagement that ran at the Theatre at Madison Square Garden in 1997. The show was so successful that it was brought back the following year with Mickey Rooney as the Wizard and Eartha Kitt as the Wicked Witch; the rest of the cast remained virtually the same. After the run in 1998, the show went on tour until the end of 1999.
That was very well done* I went to see the Wizard Of Oz at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center back in 2008. It was SPECTACULAR. I didn't think this twister would've been as good as last year's considering the time period, but they did an EXCELLENT JOB with this one! (that's soundz like ROSEANNE'S CACKLE!) lol, I can't stress the number of times I've replayed the witches transformation scene*
That's cool! The theater they performed in all there was above their heads were the lights and wires and stuff so we couldn't do some of the special effects :(
That's cool that you're in the WOO! It was really fun for all of us! Who are you playing? Good luck :)
It went really well! Closing night was in January :*( But they're doing another play now! One of my friends played Dorothy! Haha the trees were funny in the play except one person forgot a part of his costume almost every show! Sooo is your play doing Jitterbug?
You know what, I don't think it was a double. It's not a very elaborate effect, you can see that she has her cloak wrapped around her arms. Her hat was probably hidden in the basket, the lights go out and she pulls the hat out and lets her cape billow.
@computerjunkee 1st it's a stunt double. (green makeup takes a while to put on. 2nd. the cape is attached at the neck and held in her arm. She throws it out during the lightning strike. And 3rd, she puts on the witches hat at the same time. Not easy to achieve but when it works it's magic! Any other questions? I did this version and toured with it for 2 years!
I went to NYC to see this in 1997, when Eartha Kitt was the Wicked Witch :-)
When the "tornado" hit the house, I remember being distracted by the model of the house seen in 5:04...it kept spinning long after the scene ended, and they put it on the corner of the stage easily seen by the audience. Oh the A.D.D. of a 6 year old.
I wasn't a Wizard of Oz or Wicked fan yet. Either that or I wasn't even born. when was this made? And if I was born before this, I guess I snooze I lose.
i've just done the lighting for wizard of oz, they didnt have any dmx lights or any good effects really, i made the most of the lights i had using the Leap frog desk :]
for the twister i had like a spiral of lights, i know this is the twister music from the film but our twister music was different :| and our starting bit didnt have the bit where she went to see the Fortune teller it was really quick our start! maybe a school version or something ?
If it did not have Professor Marvel, it was probably the MUNY version, which uses the songs from the film but different underscoring and an original script.
No, everything I have is posted. The original hardcopy videotape I have picks up at Over the Rainbow. Anyway, it's nothing interesting. It's a bunch of clouds being projected over a scrim.
do u have any opening night stuff?
