Wicked Sydney - Backstage with Will Lewis - September 28, 2009

A brief video with the Deputy Stage Manager of Wicked in Sydney, filmed minutes before a performance. Credit to the official Wicked Australia website for this video.

Disclaimer: Rightfully I am allowed to upload this video through fair use. I am providing it on the basis that it is somewhat of a promotional tool for the show, even though I am in no way affiliated with Wicked Australia or any of its cast. I am simply a fan. I do not intend to make any profit from this, nor am I intending to be disrespectful to the production. By uploading these videos, I am only showing the world what a fantastic and brilliant job the cast and crew of Wicked Australia do and I aim to hopefully excite others to go see the show live too. It is an absolutely amazing production that I hope will remain in Australia for many years to come!

Wait! if this was before a performance then how come the curtain is up (oz map) or is this like a dress rehearsal???

[wickedaustralia]

That is such a good pick up. I didn't notice that before. And notice how calm and relaxed both he and the guys behind him are? And if it really was a 5-minute call, why would he stop the roll call? Heh... maybe it's acted out. ;)

[triondrummer]

also.....the Lights Off-Stage are on ;-)

I love being a DSM :D

I love sounding like a newsreader when I'm calling 5 minutes on the god mic.

[kirstenishappy]

hahaha deffs acted and clearly his headset and mic were not on, theres no way he'd stop role for the video, and everyone is way too relaxed for a 5 min call, i've done musicals before and its bedlam for a long time before the 5 min call, lol

[ILUVlupin]

@wickedaustralia LOL yes, and note how he says we're about to begin Act 1, except the two 'towers' are on stage as is the wizard head

LOL

[kirstenishappy]

i swear he sounded like the guy we had as stage manager for a concert on wednesday night. maybe they all sound the same?? lol

[kirstenishappy]

even if it was a dress rehearsal you'd have everything running as if it were a normal show so the map would be down. maybe the footage on the screens was pre recorded just to show what he can see. because the set isnt even right for the beginning of act one, its the set from when they meet the wizard

[rhinoking96]

its probably acted out though, it wouldn't hurt just to show some footage of the stage and set ;)
