Idina's voice sounds so much... purer in this defying gravity. If you listen to this- then to the performance at the Tony's (for example), it just shows you how much the role can effect your voice! I have the utmost respect for all Elphaba's.
I saw Wicked on Broadway in Chicago and it was FABULOUS! I could watch it every day and see something new that I missed. An OUTSTANDING musical production everyone should see! Totally Loved Wicked!!!!
Wicked is the most amazig show I have ever seen, and I've seen almost a dozen different Cirque Du Soliel shows and other broadway musicals. Its just fantastic
The film adaptation of Wicked, the long-running Wizard of Oz spinoff musical that first hit Broadway in 2003, has been given a release date by Universal, the studio said Friday. The movie, to be directed by Stephen Daldry, is set to hit theaters on Dec. 22, 2021
Elphaba wasn't recast between San Francisco and Broadway. As far as I know, the parts were: The Wizard (Robert Morse to Joel Grey), Boq (Kirk McDonald to Christopher Fitzgerald), Dr. Dillamond (John Horton to William Youmans), and the ensemble/Elphaba understudy track (Stephanie J. Block to Kristy Cates).
The musical was great, but the book was almost totally different. I believe the book was better but that's kind of a given. My advice is to watch the musical first then read the book. One will not spoil the other.
The book is so creepy with a lot of shall we say "adult themes". Very surprising they decided to make a musical of it, though it has been changed a lot.
@PatluvsKerryEllis She is flying without a broom because for some reason that Happened in a scene before it opened on Broadway, That is a clip from the pre-broadway try-out, before they changed the script.
roxasfangurl8691 I HATED THE BOOK!! I couldn’t finish it. I saw the show first. When I tried to read the book, I thought “how did they get this amazing show from that terrible book???”

Julie Andrews makes this video awesome.
I saw the musical 4 days ago
It's a artwork really ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Saw wicked yesterday with the australian cast but still very cool. SUPER WICKED! :P
ahhhhh JULIE ANDREWS AND KRISTIN CHENOWETH...my life is complete
hofully i'm going to see this on West End in 3 weeks
COOL ! What other shows are on this dvd?
@Lilithly didn't mean to be elitist... I really did think she was pretty much known internationally
the narrator/host sounds like julie andrews (the one from mary poppins and sound of music)
love idina and kristen! BEST ELPHIE AND GLINDA!
@operastar1994 It's not on Broadway anymore either when I went to see it they had a green sillhouette of Elphaba instead.
At the 0.45 the guy in the middle looks like The Boss
I read the book....Didnt like it.....I watched the play...I FUCKING LOVED IT!!!!
xDD
roxasfangurl8691 I HATED THE BOOK!! I couldn’t finish it. I saw the show first. When I tried to read the book, I thought “how did they get this amazing show from that terrible book???”
i'm sorry but this drove me crazy. jerry herman was NOT the composer of wicked!!!!!!! stephen schwartz was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
there are rumors going around saying that this will be a movie in 2014. i only heard it, i dont know for sure
Is it narrated by Julie Andrews?
Is the narrator Julie andrews
20 years later, WICKED is packing the Gershwin!!!
NARRATED BY JULIE ANDREWS?!?!?!
@wickedthemusical08 Yes it's Julie Andrews
“Critics were divided”....why does ANYONE ever listen to stupid “critics”??
i love idina at 2:16-:21
I don't think you had to add "the one from mary poppins and sound of music"... pretty sure everyone knows who Julie Andrews is
Why was Idina saying “up here” before the “its meeeee”
I think the choreography was different....we didn't see her ascend but rather she just appeared at the top and a scrim would lift to reveal her
@lilpie1807 It IS julie andrews :D I adore herr
At the gershwind in New York
According to IBDB it was The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (which opened in 1978).
half the time, elphaba looks like idina, and half the time she looks like someone else..
LOVE JULIE ANDREWS! that had to be said :D
Is Idina Menzel still in the show?
Sydney Scott on
No
Always thought norbit was to old looking to play that part
JULIE ANDREWS THO.
wait was that mark hamill?
yep
Weren't those two women in glee?
Tom Collins!

Who's the guy at 4:29?
What do you were to this play
Jackie Burns was the best.
Happy wicked day 2024
@GazaBumbahClarte

Elphaha is meant to be black
I seriously hope they cast Idina for the film! She's the one and only to do this role!
