    Eight years ago, Jackie Burns sat in the second row of the Gershwin Theatre and watched Idina Menzel play Elphaba in "Wicked," and now she's living her dream playing the green girl herself. "She's helped me be strong in my own convictions," Burns said of her iron-willed character. "She's been an outcast her whole life and she's dealt with it, and come out to be this beautiful person who isn't jaded." The physical transformation, it turns out, takes a little more getting used to. "At first it's not very beautiful, I won't lie to you," Burns laughs. "When your whole face is green and your features aren't drawn on yet, so you look like a turtle really. But then one the make up is on it's beautiful." Click on to witness Burns' transformation into this Broadway force of nature.

    Going through all the "becoming Elphaba videos. So many different women playing this role, it's amazing to see how many people across the globe have played her, will play her, and want to play her. I want to play her.

    I got emotional at hearing her speak about Elphaba.
    Elphaba is such an incredible person but people are so horrible to her.
    She most definitely stands up for what's right and has a beautiful heart.

    I LOVE when the performers once saw the show and never knew they'd be on that stage years later. like Jackie or Sierra Boggess.

    Jackie sounds as thought she has bonded with the character she plays (Elphaba). Her description is perfect :)

    She's a CT girl who wanted to be on Broadway. I'm a CT guy who's desperately praying to be on Broadway. This is my inspiration.

    I just watched her last week on Broadway and she was utterly amazing. Her voice was so strong and she hit the notes dead on! she was so beautiful, funny and she truly did Elphaba justice! She does have a resemblance with Idina Menzel and even Lea Michelle. I was so glad and lucky to have seen Jackie Burns live in my first Wicked experience =)

    I saw Jackie Burns on Broadway as Elphaba in May 2018 and she’s AMAZING. I’ve only seen Wicked once but she’s my favorite Elphaba, I’ve seen clips of others. I would love to play Elphaba someday.

    I don't see the point of applying the flesh-toned foundation before applying the green...
    As a makeup enthusiast myself, I would've just added green to lighter foundation or just went straight for it because even if she had blemishes, the artist could counteract the redness with the green. Just an observation.

      Dee Roscioli talks about it in a video. It's a unitard with a black pant like thing. You could probably use a green long sleeve rash guard (kinda like under armor)

    i would love to be kinda like susan blackwell...haha
    i really want to be a writer my dream would be to be a critic or writing for broadway.com but that kinda screws up the fact that i might want to do some acting...not full time
    all i know for my future career is:
    1. i want to work with organizations #spellcheck like Trevor
    2. want to be involved in theatre somehow
    3. (most importantly) I WANT TO LIVE IN NYC

  • @beaniebaby3s3
    @beaniebaby3s3 12 лет назад

    and i have sooooooo much respect for them especially a man as talented as Stephen i mean godspell pippin and more hes amazing along with everyone else who helps create all those amazing shows but in my opinion if a person such as you and i can have so much respect for theatre and WICKED and yes they are amazing and experts and the creators but there are some people (like i might want to do) who devote their lives and put their hearts into the theatre...who know and love everything which i do.
