its funny how she says "They're singing about me" while they're singing "SHE'S DEAAAAD". hahahah very funny!
I loved that 😂
SHE'S DEAD
Yes its awesome
Tom Shchori yeah OMG
Yeah cuz in the beginning they sing about Elphaba’s death lmao 😂
Call me a noob but I legit get a panic attack when I hear half hour calls and their not even started to get changed
SAME.
I mean Elphaba doesn't come on till like the 10 minute mark.
In one of the Hamilton vlogs, Leslie Odom Jr. didn't get dressed to like 5-10 minutes before. I wanted to cry. lol
Glucose Guardian dw your not a noob, sometimes people just feel more comfortable getting ready earlier and feeling prepared :)
Glucose Guardian also, I was watching Carrie hope fletcher do backstage Veronica blogs and one of the heathers wasn’t dressed at like the five minute call or something!!
“You can’t wash your hands when your Elphaba”
People in 2020: **Panic Mode**
i choked
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I WAS WAITING FOR A COMMENT LIKE THIS
Hi again 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
YES
THEY CALLED HALF HOUR AND NOBODY IS DRESSED IM STRESSING OUT OMG
Yo same 😂😂😂😂
They are trained to be able to switch dresses in like 3 minutes i think they’re fine
@@brycesusong6307 we know, but it's still stressful to see, when I was in theatre we got in costume like an hour before doors open, so in my head I'm like "HURRY UP"
@@oliviah4731 same with me! more like 2 hours before for me bc we do run throughs
a lot of times i start to think of wicked as overrated, but then i watch these vlogs and im transported back to being a little seven year old seeing wicked for the first time and deciding she wanted to be elphaba one day. these vlogs make me remember why this was my first ever dream role.
Well I'm afraid you're competing with a lot of ambitious actresses...
+Willow Miller-teece wow unnecessary lol
@@thatonetictac3998 Ooof that's harsh
Hannah Corneau’s BIGGEST FAN yes finally someone understands
I just saw the show it can never stop running
It’s weird seeing Derek in Anastasia now and looking back at him in this he looks so young
I think it's funny how they have the recording of Idina singing Defying Gravity in the beginning and then have Lindsay do the vloging! haha!
Shelby Mueller pretty sure that’s not Idina.. she has a darker tone
Zoe Chessa No, the introduction is Idina singing. They just used the soundtrack version of the song.
Shelby Mueller ikr 😂
Zoe Chessa from someone who listens to Idina on the daily, trust me, it’s Idina 😂
Elphaba Thropp love your profile 😂❤️
this is my 5th time rewatching this series help
Me too!💚💚💚
Abi Alston same ❤️
Abi Alston
Abi Alston it's my, like 21st.
I've made it through a solid 17 times now 😂
Awe she still had green paint in her ears from the last show xD
yupppp
i meannn... being Elphaba does that to you... ask Idina Menzel 😂
Harmonizer yup 😂
Lindsay: How is it being Glinda and Fyiero in Wicked?
Derek: it's sweet
Lindsay: I'm tweeting that
HAHAHAHAHAH I DIED
It's kinda funny to see Derek in these, and see how different he looks in the Anastasia vlogs, just the hair mostly!!!!!
I want to swoop his hair into his current hair now lol
I like how Derek Klena and Lindsay Mendez were both each others love interest in both Wicked and Dogfight the musical (Dogfight is so underrated).
It literally is
She had green in her ears from the last show! Aha I LOVE Lindsay!!!!
My daughter (who is almost 3) came across this video during our nightly musical songs at bedtime. She loves it. She watches it every night, and has it memorized. She wants to be Elphaba for Halloween, and talks along with Lindsey Mendez. I think I have a theater kiddo on my hands!😍
Hopefully we'll see her on stage in 20 years time as Elphaba! :)
Se that is so sweet
That’s amazing hope she’s on stage one day!! How is she?
She warms up for four minutes before singing Elphaba. She is a beast! Love her.
...when you're supposed to be studying for the AP Environmental Science Exam tomorrow, but you're watching "Fly Girl" for the umpteenth time.
Melly and I’m sitting her planning the next 15 years of me and my friends lives
My high school cast gets hectic backstage for the show. Broadway cast is just chilling lol
I love how she's like "They're singing about me" She didn't mention the part about how they are happy she's dead
Who else is watching this series during quarantine?? No just me? Ok then.
i am lol
I am
I came from binging the Anastasia vlogs lolll
Me
I am
And as I heard the overture playing...I flipped out...and continued thinking the music in my mind, all the while thinking to myself "I TECHNICALLY just heard a Broadway overture!"
This is litterally my dream to be in this show and these vlogs make me so happy.
Abigail Philpott it's my dream to be alphaba
Sofia's games And toys same I would love to be Elphaba
SAME!!!!💚
Same I'm not even in high school yet and I already have a plan. I'm going to go to collage in New York and then I really want to be elphaba on Broadway
sunset cloudd same
how can she possibly be so calm, so close to the show lol
4 mins left and she's still just casually chatting to the camera!!!
Katie Rose Clarke is by far the best Glinda acting-wise. She's funny, and yet she's real. Other are just funny, close to being unnecessarily comical. Especially Katie's NOMTW and Thank Goodness!
I think Kara Lindsay is the best
She's the best American Glinda. :p
She is back
Kenzie Lynne she is amazing
Kenzie Lynne i think Katie is my second favourite but i love Kristen because she was the original and she had such great chemistry with my fave elphaba, Idina Menzel :)
Lindsay Mendez will always hold a special place in my Wicked heart. She was cast at such a beautiful time in the show’s history, she was the perfect 10th Anniversary Elphaba. I’ve never seen her live but I feel like I did through her Fly Girl Vlogs and the promo videos. She really is something special. It’s like the role was made for her. She will always have a handprint on my heart.
"They're singing about me" yeah bby they're singing about your 'death' xD
LOL.
Muzazaki01 I was literally just thinking that Xd
hahaha “Death” 😂
My fav broadwaycom vlog. I remember watching these episodes like it was yesterday
I know!!! Same
Hamilham profile picture? Mines Eliza
"I don't really know what it is but I got it on sale." lol same
*On December 4th 2016*
Wicked will become the 9th longest running Broadway musical!
LesMiserablesCats 24601 what about 2019
is it bad that I have been watching this series over and over for 2 weeks straight?
No this play is amazing
Musical*
+Kristiana Corona whats the difference between a play and a musical then. they both can have singing and music?
plays do not tell a story through musical lyrics
Nope! I've watched this series several times! :)
Wait, they said half an hour call? And they did all that in half an hour? Or am I just not understanding this?
you’re understanding this and they did do this in half an hour
40 minutes she doesn’t come on till like 10 minutes in
she doesn’t come on stage straight away, so she has extra time
Elphie doesn’t come on stage for a few minutes at the beginning
They said that if the HMUAs and the actress are "pro" at greenifying, dressing, and being Elphaba, the whole process can take as quick as 20-30 minutes.
Anyone notice she has green in her ears? LOL I love Lindsay she's so down to earth
I noticed as well
THE DOGFIGHT PICTURE * feels from the cuteness * Love you guys!
They were so cute in that show, I love seeing their friendship through these vlogs
Just realized I come back to this series every time I feel extremely depressed, watching these videos feels like visiting a friend, and am a huge Lindsay Mendez fan because of these vlogs 💚
Broadway is run by theater kids who learned how to pay taxes and that’s just how it’s been since 1999
My favorite Elphaba! (besides Idina Menzel)
This was the cast when I saw Wicked on Broadway and I'm just like, internally crying. This was filmed the same week I saw it!!!
Seen these blogs numerous times. So excited for Derek to be in Anastasia! Though I've never met him, or have seen him live, I feel like I know him.
Luna Lovegood sameeeeeee
Luna Lovegood He was so good and we got a picture together 😭😭
The green paint is pretty I want to play Elphaba. But then again Wicked is one of my favorite musicals
Elphie, Fiyero, Glinda: the squad
SHE WAS IN 21 CHUMP STREET AH I DIDNT KNOW SHE WAS ELPHABA ON BWAY
Sam oh my god your profile picture
NAAOOOOMIIIII
I THOUGHT THE SAME
NAOMIIIIIIIII
Omg me too omg 😱
I could watch this series multiple times without losing interest. Just love it :)
I love how she has a crap ton of alcohol on that shelf lol
Jillian Jernigan Especially the Jack Daniels lmfaoo
@@laurencamera-murray9700 ahh I see what you did there
Who’s watched this series more than 5 times (or maybe just whenever life’s crap and you wanna feel better)? Lol
Legit I play it in the background all the time while I’m getting ready for my classes, such a mood booster honestly
Can we talk about baby Derek Klena!!
Rewatching this for the millionth time lol
honestly Fly Girl is my favorite Wicked vlog series!! I'm sooooo glad I got to catch Lindsey Mendez as Elphaba like years ago, she's incredible
Derek is mighty fine lol
Tori Capo he’s married now bitch, so step off! Just kidding. Well, he is married. But that doesn’t mean you can’t try to juggle his cookies. HATE THE GAME NOT THE PLAYA! Lol
these videos bring me back to my most precious days as a little theatre kid. feels like a hug.
I love how she has a deeper voice and still hits every note!
It’s 2020 and I no joke rewatch this series once every month
She is seriously such an amazing person. She seems so sweet and she is SO talented! Love her! #FaveElphie
still watching these 7 years later. always boosts my mood :D
Sameeee
Watched this series for the 3rd time because I simply adore Lindsay and Derek #Klendez
I have watched this series 12 times 🤣😘 xxx
I envy the long line of singer/actresses who have the privilege to go through that process of being painted on & wear that wig are lucky to play my fave Broadway musical character of all time. I've seen Wicked here in L.A. 6 years ago. I hope to see this show again on Broadway.
Anyone else coming back to this yearly
I know this video is super old but I got EXTREMELY ANXIOUS at the end of the vid, like, GURL, the show has started and you're just chatting like you're not on for half an hour, OMG. Obviously she knows exactly how much time it takes for her to get to places and when she needs to be there, but I was freaking out
When this video was posted (2013) i was 4, that year me and my family went to America and saw wicked. I was so scared of elphaba. Now I'm 10 and dying to see wicked
I've literally watched this series so many times and I never get sick of it haha. I've stopped doing theater since I graduated high school almost 5 years ago, but there is still a little part of me that dreams of being Elphaba on Broadway.
Wait, wait, wait... Dimitri ( Anastasia) was Fyero!!
"There singing about me! ah ha!" lmaooo I died at that part. shes freaking hilarious and so down to earth and nice. Im going to newyork next week I hope to see her! cause her voice is amazinggg
It’s a Christmas Eve tradition for me to watch this whole series...
Same I’m back in 2020
I have seen this like 100 times #LindsayMendez my broadway idol🎭💁
That picture of her and Derek 😭😭😭😭💗💗💗💗
I have probably watched these vlogs like 100 times over the past year and I just can't stop 😆 love Lindsay so much (she is my favorite Elphaba) and love seeing the behind the scenes and process of Lindsay!
I come back here every now and then to enjoy this backstage pass of my favourite musical ever
IM HERE AFTER LINDSAYS POST!!! I’m so happy for her
Someone from this show came to my primary school!🧙🏻♀️
At first I was screaming and shouting that she is too familiar to me... Then I recalled all of the musicals that I know, then I remembered she is Naomi in 21 Chump Street!!!!!
Im so happy!
Ahaha I love that!! Kinda same for me, except I saw 21CS and freaked out that she was in it aha
I think this is the third time watching this series! 🙊
Lindsay Mendez is the best Elphie in my opinion! LOVE HER!!
I agree. She's incredible.
If you come to London and see Emma Hatton, you'd change your mind
+Elphaba
I'm sorry but Emma isn't one of the best London has seen compared to Rachel or Jennifer DiNoia
Eddie King or Willemijn who is like the Dutch Idina
I think she’s definitely the best American Elphaba, but Rachel and Willemijn are just *chefs kiss*
When fiyero walked in I died.
"They're singing about me hah" lol
Derek is very handsome. Katie is very pretty. So is Lindsay.
4000000000000000009th time I'm watching fly girl
+Emma Barradell retweet
I WAS THE 10000TH LIKE! IM SO HAPPY! I’ve rewatched this series for years and I FINALLY got an account so I chose to like this and I’m the *10000TH!* IM SO HAPPPYYYYYYYYYY
Sings 🎶 Wicked 🎶 Clears throat, slaps throat and says “I’m warm” 😂😂😂😂
I’m dead!! 0:34
I saw a video of Lindsay singing bless the Lord in godspell and I've been a fan ever since.... Very talented.
Derek’s hair omg😄👍🏽
Wicked was 1 of the best expereances of my life it was amazing
I saw the wicked in London and I fell in loved w the show, songs, the story , the voices and everything
this is my tenth time watching this series and counting... help
Tyler Russell that’ll be me when I’ve finished watching this series
@@verityjude2269 i watch it all the way through at least once a month lol
Tyler Russell welp I’m on my 2nd time
Same
When I’m in shows I need to be ready 2 hours before the show in costume but here they are ready legit when the show is starting
Lindsay is amazing!
Lol! its funny when Katie says"People used to call me galinda but now they call me glinda
You think that they would use Lindsey Mendez's singing
this cast is beautiful i love them
That Glinda wig is so amazing.... looks so elaborate.
I watch this Flygirl series at least twice a year
the green is why i have never wanted this part- just the thought of removing every night exhausts me
update: this is my 16th time watching this series
All I need in my life is to watch Wicked live, I know the lyrics to every song and I just need it! 😁
I watched it last night live. Omg best thing ever
Going in 2 weeks!
That's amazing! Have fun!!
Go watch it then it's simple
Fav song in show?
Mine is Because I Knew You
I love hearing the show beginning in the background.
Actors are the best people on the planet, man.
Reliving this series from 10 years ago! Iconic part of my 2013 summer :)
Same omg 🥹
OMFG IT'S YOUNG DAREK KLENA!!!!!!!
Did anyone notice how she had a bit of green in her ear before the whole process started 😂 It must be so hard to get off every night
I've had so much fun getting to know her career (embarassingly late for how accomplished she is), and this interview is adorable and really informative!
This makes me so happy, because this was the videos I watched to calm me down the night before exam results came out so now I am rewatching it feeling so good and Lindsey Mendez is just amazing
Baby Derek!!!!😁
