Wicked is a musical with songs and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and book by Winnie Holzman. The story is based on the best-selling novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire, a parallel novel of L. Frank Baum's classic story The Wonderful Wizard of Oz from the perspective of the witches of the Land of Oz.
Wicked tells the story of Elphaba, the future Wicked Witch of the West and her relationship with Glinda, the Good Witch of the North. (In the album notes, Gregory Maguire explained that he derived the name "Elphaba" from the initials of L. Frank Baum.) Their friendship struggles through their opposing personalities and viewpoints, rivalry over the same love-interest, their reactions to the Wizard's corrupt government, and, ultimately, Elphaba's public fall from grace. The plot is set mostly before Dorothy's arrival from Kansas, and includes several references to well-known scenes and dialogue in the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz as a backstory.
The musical debuted on Broadway on October 30, 2003. It was produced by Universal Pictures and directed by Joe Mantello, with musical staging by Wayne Cilento. Its original stars were Idina Menzel as Elphaba, Kristin Chenoweth as Glinda, and Joel Grey as the Wizard. Although the production received mixed reviews and was panned by The New York Times, it has proved to be a favorite among patrons. The Broadway production's success spawned productions in Chicago, Los Angeles, London's West End, Tokyo, Melbourne, and Stuttgart, along with two North American tours that have visited over 30 cities in Canada and the United States.
Enjoy! :)
I love wicked!!!! I saw it last winter for the first time, and had amazing seats, so i could see the entire stage. The tour was amazing!!!
i love the costume mistress's take on making the costumes and building the characters
Wicked was amazing when I saw it on tour! I encourage all of you to see it
Best musical ever!!!!!!
Thanks for posting this documentary! :)
No lie, this musical changed my life.
pro trick : watch series on kaldrostream. I've been using it for watching loads of movies recently.
@Kade Dane definitely, I've been watching on Kaldrostream for years myself :)
Wicked london show show best thank you so so much every ❤❤😊
Well it is a play. The core of the song is there, but like everything, there will always be slight variations to it. It's what makes each actor unique.
best musical ever made, of all time!!!:)
i first saw wicked when i was in 3rd grade, and i realy fell inn love with elphaba and she became my idol.i was very lonley, like her, and i was different because i am very smart. she gave me someone to look up to, and gave me the power to not act dumb to blend in. i stood out in all my weirdness, and because of this play and the impact it had on me, i have a view on society, love, and friendship that defines me and makes me who i am.
Can anyone imagine this being recreated visually for film?
Hope I can see Wicked someday
Me too.
its true and most of the broadway shows Glinda has a much more WINEY tone and a bit higher pitched that grows lower a bit as she gets older and more "refined" and powerful. while Alphie actually stays semi the same, a bit low but that is for the harmony portions.
2:40. my favorite costume =) so fabulous
I am Sobbing too
they can sing sooooo good!! =O
i wanna sing like that too!! =) (a)
and...
I LOVE THIS MUSICAL!!!!! THE BEST MUSICAL I'VE EVER SEEN!!! =D
yes, that is him
Well, that was her actress from 2007-2008. The character's name IS Elphaba, named for Saint Aelphaba of the Waterfall, in Oz. :)
I want to see this!!
Actually guys the name of "green girl" or "Elphaba" is actually Stephanie J. Block!!
My 4 year old son wants to see The Emerald City!! I'm going to have to book flights to London soon!! - when is the touring production coming to Europe / UK!!!!??????
this is Wicked on tour! lol
@KatiiezCam It's a Broadway musical.
Yeah! He also later became an understudy for the part of Fiyero! Type in the search bar 'Adam Lambert Fiyero' and videos will pop up of him as Fiyero!
you have to? I would give ANYTHING to be required to see this show!
woah, i'm surprised u caught that!
@hunt3rock0n yea i'm pretty sure thats him. he was in the show. he even got to be Fiyero in at least one show. there are clips of it here on youtube. he was actually pretty good. he should have stuck with broadway.
no - not the London Production! I know it's there! The TOURING production? London is a 75 minute flight, over-night accommodation and about $1000 all in with tickets for 2!
When is it going to tour to Belfast or Dublin is what I was getting at!!! lol - that's a rhetorical question!
@invaderzim1414 no he actually was, tht is him and i have about 3 audios of him on tour with stephanie and kendra playing fiyero
1:55 , thats defiently Stephanie J. Block, I would kill to see the full video of her defying gravity.
Idena menzel was perfect and I dont think eneyone can match up to that so don't make fun of the new alphaba cause shes bad cause shes not.
A little disappointed that they didn't have anything with the original cast. I mean, Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel originated the roles and spent years and YEARS working on it. I wish they had at least al little bit in there with them.
@poep45642 you're school assignment is Wicked? Dude! Lucky!
3:41 ADAM! SQUEE!!
Where have you been all my life? We're EXACTLY alike even the same grade I was influenced... I actually sing and so I sang her songs even though voice is seprona which was hard...
no that's not him
Adam was only in the LA production of Wicked
this is the original touring cast
But it does look like him! lol
Hi excuse me?? is there a movie of the musical or something?? ive never seen it :(
lmao LADY GAGA at 2:48
They sadly did down size it a bit!!! Just a bit!!! Still a amazing show!!!
3:42 Adam Lambert!!!!!
I've just read the description and i thought Glinda's the Good Witch of the South?
Is that Eden Espinosa at 2:50?
did i just see someone who looked like adam lambert in this? 3:42
is 3:42 adam lambert?
Me i'm sobbing
Yup
oh I'm sorry! I was totally wrong!
He WAS in the touring production
Haha sorry! I goofed :/
I remember first time I watched Wicked, and the minute Elphaba came on stage I thought; "I know exactly how she feels!" I have always been this odd, akward, smart girl who was naturally, well, different. And I thought Elphaba was so brave. Now, when ever I am in a tough situation, I think, "What would Elphaba do?" I guess, after seeing Wicked, was changed for good. :)
for the love of Oz STOP CALLING HER GREEN GIRL!!!!!!!
is that him'?
ummmmmm in case you havent noticed its been in the uk for 3 years.
@poep45642 "a bit boring"? :) Try to watch it with a fresh mind, and you may be surprised, friend.
Yea. Her name is Elphaba (Duh)
3:42 Is that Adam Lambert?
When the director said he had to work with the corogrpher I was like.... MY SCHOOL'S COROGRPHER IS THE DIRECTOR
Anyone else sitting there, watching this video, crying, because you never saw Wicked? *raises hand*
Well, realistically, that too. :D
@Lilithly 2014
I think their voices are too... deep (is that the right word?), not pitch-wise but, in tone quality, i don't think they suit Elphie or Glinda very well
Well not everybody can come and go by bubble.......lol
idina was the best wicked witch
3:23 SOUNDS LIKE KURT HUMMEL :L
I like Kerry Ellis just fine, and Eden Espinosa was decent. This girl, however, isn't any good IMO
i really don't like this elphaba
