"Tiffany had her appendix out about a week ago" And she's still doing the show! The recovery's supposed to be longer than that, because I had mine out and I took a while to recover. She's such a trooper!
I actually just met Tiffany today and she is absolutely amazing! ( I haven’t watched the video yet so idk what she did say but...) She has such a huge heart and auditioned for wicked 7 times and the 8th time she finally heard a yes, she had a bunch of funny little stories like how she told her parents her character’s name was Swing and didn’t know that she’d be an actual swing. also when she was going up in the bubble the first time she was so excited and the crew members were supposed to take a break but they wanted to get Tiffany down before the went on break but she was like “ It’s fine another five minutes won’t hurt me “ because she had waited so long to play glinda.
During this Covid Omicron insanity, I had the privilege of seeing Catherine Charlebois play Nessarose on the tour in Cleveland. I was so insanely surprised and pleased to see her name on the cast sheet that night. It immediately made me think of "Fly Girl".
The amount of parts that those swings know is INSANE. I can learn lyrics/lines pretty well but there's no way I'd be able to learn even 3, let alone 19! x
Ik that this is 7 years late. But that mural didn't exist back with Idina and Kristin. As Derek said, it was only painted once the company that he, Lindsay, Katie, and all of the actors shown in Fly Girl are currently in, started on Broadway. So, it didn't exist until about 2013.
The fight scene was so awkward and funny! It is really interesting to see how everything looks when there are no costumes, sets, lights, and their voices are not being projected out into the theater.
omg tiffany was my first glinda.i saw wicked for the first time when they came to Virginia and she blew the roof off starting a major love affair between me and wicked
I think the Fight Call Practice for the Catfight Scene was my Favourite Part and Also the Educational Session on what is a Standby in Musical Theatre with Tiffany was fun too
I love that the ensemble parts of Glinda's shoulder friends have names. And they're correct to the book! Well.. at least Shenshen is 100% confirmed. Hoping that the other shoulder friend is named either Milla or Pfannee.
I actually got to meet Donna Vivino when I was in New York a couple of weeks ago. I did an improv workshop with her, she was so lovely and talented. It was really cool too, she had to keep her phone on because she wasn't sure if she was going on for Wicked that night. She had been on the night before and her skin was still a little bit green. I'd really love to see Lindsay Mendez though!! This series is excellent!
7:11 Carla!!!! OMFG this girl is an amazing Elphie!!! Shes fierce and give ephie anger problems!! Her defying gravity was amazing but her no good dead was to die for!! This girl has AMAZING riffs!! I really hope they give her the role when Lindsay leaves. Love ya Carla!!
OMGGG tiffany hass is the one that I saw when they were on tour and came to jacksonville! she was pretty good! :) Its cool to see her so close! ah I love these vlogs!! do them forever!!!
I want to see Wicked soooo badly :( but they don't show it anymore in Germany :( So i have to stick to the soundtrack. But these videos are awesome :) I wouldn't mind a second season :)
Whenever Glinda (or ga-linda) twirls her wand or staff in the huge dress during the slapping scene i go into hysterics. I did last night at the theater and everyone was like girl what? It was so fun last night but all day I was tired lol.
Can you film any videos in the wings? Like what is going on during the show, and maybe even filming the show from the side? I always wondered what that looked like. I guess it is hard because they need all of the space. Also, does the cast ever do improve when something happens? For example, you said you fell during your entrance. Did the whole ensemble laugh at you or something like that like it was a school? Does the cast ever talk about what to do/how to react when something goes wrong?
So is it better to be a swing or a standby? I guess it could be personal preference, but with a standby you would get to go on as a lead, but as a swing or the ensemble you'd get to be on stage every night. Just wondering?
Well if you think about it most standbys normally start out in shows as swings so they learn so many tracks while doing it. That way when they do end up making their way up to standbys in the future they will already have known the show inside and out😊 so both are amazing roles for shows but as swing/ ensemble members they get to have a lot of fun 😀
A standby is someone who is in wait to play the role for a cast member who is sick, or on holidays. There only job is to play that role. An understudy is someone who is part of the cast (ensemble/ other character) and if both the main actor and standby are absent for whatever reason, the understudy will go on.
The Stand-By pretty much only knows the part they stand-by for, and they can leave during the intermission. The understudy will know, say Elphaba's part, as well as whatever their parts are within the ensemble. So say if the stand-by has left and the Elphaba is injured during the second act (like Idina) then the understudy will take over, unless the stand by is close enough to get back to the theatre. It is basically a double layer of protection. If you noticed through the interviews with the ensemble, there were about 4 people there who could stand in for Elphaba in a moments notice. That is what makes Broadway the gold standard.
Well a Standby is Someone who comes in the Theatre at the Half Hour and Signs in as Usual and their job is to wait backstage if they are needed and a Understudy is Someone who is in the Ensemble and Plays a Main Role.
The swings work so hard! I was so impressed when she just casually was like "yeah, i know 19 parts."
"Tiffany had her appendix out about a week ago" And she's still doing the show! The recovery's supposed to be longer than that, because I had mine out and I took a while to recover. She's such a trooper!
Let's also take in the fact that she was going on as Glinda for a couple of days which is a tough role 😂
Fur realz! She's fucking amazing!
I actually just met Tiffany today and she is absolutely amazing! ( I haven’t watched the video yet so idk what she did say but...)

She’s also an amazing hugger

"Maybe I'll look smaller, since I'm missing an organ!" Omfg, I love Tiffany! And Lindsay's "heyyo!" Makes me crack up every time without fail!
Wooo Briana! Saw her as Nessarose five years ago. I was fresh out of middle school. I am now a sophomore in college. Oh my god. I need a moment.
u should show us what the original elphaba (idina menzel) and glinda (kristin chenoweth) wrote on the wall
Ik that this is 7 years late. But that mural didn't exist back with Idina and Kristin. As Derek said, it was only painted once the company that he, Lindsay, Katie, and all of the actors shown in Fly Girl are currently in, started on Broadway. So, it didn't exist until about 2013.
I love it when Lindsay says "hey-oh!!" It cracks me up every time!
When Derek appeared, I died.
Fly Girl is my favorite of these backstage series. Lindsay, Derek, and Katie Rose are all so funny and adorable! I hope Fly Girl never ends!!!!
The fight scene was so awkward and funny! It is really interesting to see how everything looks when there are no costumes, sets, lights, and their voices are not being projected out into the theater.
Love how everybody is friendly and super excited about acting with each other ❤️
This is my dream I would love to be on broadway 🙌
Tahila Miles same
I would DIE to be on broadway

Is it just me or do Boq's legs look better in tights than most girls??
Agreed.
Than me anyway lol.
no...agree sis
Lindsay and Tiffany rehearsing the catfight scene = Classic!!!
It makes me smile Fiyero gets green on him after kissing Elphaba... :)
I can imagine Lindsey slipping and almost falling into the orchestra and just a whole bunch of silence and her laughing
When Derek is showing the mural you can hear One Short Day

These are so fun to watch!
I saw Carla Stickler live as Elphie, SHE WAS AMAZING! Her No Good Deed is so great!
I hope that when Wicked closes, they keep that mural on the walls- it's way too awesome to paint over! :O
All I can think of at 3:56 is "this diva needs her stage!" from RENT
That mural on the stairs is AMAZING!!!!
I love Lindsay's enthusiasm!!

Gotta love Carla :)
Do you ever miss any shows Lindsay?
Can you film any videos in the wings? Like what is going on during the show, and maybe even filming the show from the side? I always wondered what that looked like. I guess it is hard because they need all of the space.
Also, does the cast ever do improve when something happens? For example, you said you fell during your entrance. Did the whole ensemble laugh at you or something like that like it was a school? Does the cast ever talk about what to do/how to react when something goes wrong?
It's only in Wicked where I know all those understudies and standbys haha. Some of them are even better than the lead!
another 5 star blog :)
I've seen Donna Vivino perform this :D she was amazing
why did she put for one of the girls names in the ensemble rob barmen #themagicpads
donna is amazing, i wish i could see her
So is it better to be a swing or a standby? I guess it could be personal preference, but with a standby you would get to go on as a lead, but as a swing or the ensemble you'd get to be on stage every night. Just wondering?
Well if you think about it most standbys normally start out in shows as swings so they learn so many tracks while doing it. That way when they do end up making their way up to standbys in the future they will already have known the show inside and out😊 so both are amazing roles for shows but as swing/ ensemble members they get to have a lot of fun 😀
Is Lindsay Mendez Still Elphaba Today
I wish, but she’s on tv now! And she has a Tony!!
I want to see the standby Donna vivino
Omg Mike Wartella is Boq.
I'm still confused about the difference between an understudy and a stand-by
A standby is someone who is in wait to play the role for a cast member who is sick, or on holidays. There only job is to play that role. An understudy is someone who is part of the cast (ensemble/ other character) and if both the main actor and standby are absent for whatever reason, the understudy will go on.

That is what makes Broadway the gold standard.

I actually saw Tiffany! She was great!
They should film the end of defying gravity offstage
