This experience must've been heaven on Earth. Or better yet, heaven at the Gershwin Theater Lobby! OMG! That looks like so much fun! Congratz to all performers!
For the 10th anniversary next year, there should an arena staging 10th Anniversary Concert like they did for Phantom and Les Miz!! 300 performers (200 past, present, and future cast members and a 100 piece orchestra) doing the show. Plus for the finale, the original cast reuniting and 3 encores like Former Glinda's singing POPULAR, Former Elphaba's singing DEFYING GRAVITY, and then Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel would close the night singing FOR GOOD with green and black confetti falling.
I recognised a few people in this video. First was Stephen Schwartz, then Donna Vivino, Catherine Charlebois, Tom McGowan, Kathy Fitzgerald and Cristy Candler, along with a couple of the ensemble members. Who are the other women in the front row? Because I only recognised Donna and Cristy.
Oh, now I recognise Jackie Burns, who is two places to Donna's right. And now I can see Alicia, the dance captain, in the second row I didn't recognise her at first because she had a different hair style.
WTH?? I mean, yeah, it sounded AMAZING! But come on!!! How come Jackie singed just one line??? She was my Elphaba! Best Elphaba there ever was after Idina Menzel..
i wish they got the others though...Kristin, Idina, SJB, Ana, Megan, Annaleigh. :P anyway, Happy 8th Anniversary Wicked!!! Here's to 100 more years! :D
I know Jackie, Kassandra, and Donna, but who are the other women in the front row? I'm assuming two of them are the Glinda standby and the Nessa, but the rest????
The only problem with the original cat is that was 15 years ago, a little too old for Good ol' Shiz.... Remember that it was a terrible idea to cast two 40-year-olds in the film version of Grease.
@Pirateprinsess The original plan for the novel "Wicked" was to make it a live action movie, but Stephen Schwartz read it and thought it would make a great musical and said basically "just let me write some stuff for it" - I believe Gregory Maguire was the one who let Schwartz go ahead and have this become a musical instead of a movie.
1.) Not sure is Donna meant to upstage the other Elphies on the the last note or not...Show off lol 2.) And major props to Stephanie and Kate on the PHENOMENAL placement on "message back from MEEEEEEEEEEE"

Donna's voice makes everyone smile lol
I LOVE DONNA VIVINO!! SHE IS AND WAS AMAZING!!
Donna is the best :D
Donna was the best Elphaba. She rules!!!
The audience seems so unenthusiastic. If I was there, I'd be jumping around with a huge smile on my face XD (Mostly when Donna sang!)

Donna Vivino and Jessica Vosk have been my absolute favorite Elphies. They're both so talented and consistent it's amazing.
When I saw Donna Vivino, I freaked out. And when she sang, I melted. One if my favorite elphabas.
I wish Jackie sang more. I can hear her sing all day
Yessss Donna's part was fantastic!!
I got to see her on tour and she is fucking phenomenal.
yeessss Donna Vivino!!
This experience must've been heaven on Earth. Or better yet, heaven at the Gershwin Theater Lobby! OMG! That looks like so much fun! Congratz to all performers!
just saw this today and am so thrilled that Queen Viv is here! Donna Vivino, in my opinion, has the most flawless Elphie vocal power ever! love love
just gorgeous seeing the whole cast I saw donna vivino

You GO Serena Maxwell!
Also, Stephen Scwartz singing is the cutest thing of my life.
This just makes me way too happy.
This is the reason I want to be on Broadway. You all are amazing! I got chills through the entire video!
DONNA VIVINO HELL FUCKING YES
+Noah Coen The best Elphaba i have ever seen!
Haha Richard H Blake is chillin right smack dab in the middle, he's dressed very much like Warner Huntington III hahaha :)
Hearing men sing Glinda's lines is... just weird. straight up weird.
There's a reason Donna Vivino had her own mic. Almost a decade later and still blown away.
Thank you, Cast & Crew of Wicked (who are and ever were), for celebrating the show's 8th anniversary with all of us! May we all Defy Gravity.
JACKIIIEEEE! -3 omg she so should have sang more, but it still was amazinggg
@STEFPRODUCTIONSs Donna Vivino. She's the Elphaba standby. I saw her in Rochester!
I love you Jackie!!
Congratulations to all the members of the Wicked show for your success defying gravity!
Crying. Whenever I listen to this song I end up crying. Love it.
I love that Stephen Schwartz's face is in the music!! Now now!! LOVE THIS!!
Tenth anniversary with the ENTIRE ORIGINAL CAST performing the show...oh and maybe a movie would be nice.

Yeaaaaaaaah Donna! She's soooooo good, hope she'll switch from standby and take Willemijn's place after she leaves!
WTH?? I mean, yeah, it sounded AMAZING! But come on!!! How come Jackie singed just one line??? She was my Elphaba! Best Elphaba there ever was after Idina Menzel..
Shivers and goosebumps
Who is that beautiful, talented lady that sand the "unlimited, together we're unlimited" part?

This is a good song
Donna, Kristy, Jackie, and Stephanie are all amazing Elphabas.

Love the baby blue sweater
The powers that be should have made Wicked into a feature film too!! PLEASE make a feature film with the original cast please! Please! Please!
The only problem with the original cat is that was 15 years ago, a little too old for Good ol' Shiz.... Remember that it was a terrible idea to cast two 40-year-olds in the film version of Grease.

brilliant!
@edelweissangelita That is Donna Vivino (s/b Elphaba Broadway)!
Donna Vivino is feaking awesome..she is the best Elphaba!
I wanna see Wicked on Broadway now.
A Wicked fan from Mexico city....
I wonder what they'll do for the 10th this year. a straight decade run on Broadway, that's a HUGE deal.
♥ LOVE ♥
i'm thinking of suggesting this to my school choir now
Haha knew Defying Gravity would win. :P
OMG GRANNY WAS AMAZING!!!!!
@SavvyDowning Christy Candler (Nessarose), Kristy Cates (original Elphaba u/s), Jackie Burns (lead Elphaba), Chandra Lee Schwartz (lead Glinda), Donna Vivino (Elphaba s/b) Kate Fahner (Glinda s/b), Stephanie Torns (Elphaba u/s)
Stephen Schwartz in the chorus :D
2:12 When I died of excitement because I saw Stephen Schwartz (the wonderful composer of this amazing song) in the choir singing it. :DD
1.) Not sure is Donna meant to upstage the other Elphies on the the last note or not...Show off lol
2.) And major props to Stephanie and Kate on the PHENOMENAL placement on "message back from MEEEEEEEEEEE"
it's hilarious to me that Stephen Schwartz is standing there with them, struggling with the music
treu! hhahahaaaaa! For me it seems like he's not really a sheet music type of guy, - if it was up to him, he would just improvise (to the harmonies)!
Donna Vivino (Standby for Elphaba)
:D They should do what RENT did for their 10 year anniversary! Bring the original cast back for one night XD
There should be a 10th Anniversary concert with all the original cast just like Les Miserables.
@jasobres Front row: Christy Candler (Nessarose), Kathy Fitzgerald (really 2nd row, Madame Morrible), Kristy Cates (original Elphaba u/s), Jackie Burns (lead Elphaba), Chandra Lee Schwartz (lead Glinda), Donna Vivino (s/b Elphaba), Kate Fahrer (s/b Glinda), Stephanie Torns (u/s Elphaba)
I just realized Stephen Schwartz was singing with them lol
ooh, will you be there on the 30th? that's the 10th anniversary performance.
I was there in person at great expense and effort. It was disappointing given all the hype. I was expecting A LOT more.
so nice..tks! (L)
We want a MOVIE! Movie! Movie! MOvie!!!! Come on everybody chant with meeeeeeeee: We want a WICKED movie!!!!!!
