How exactly does the flying machine work?

Sorry if this has been asked before.

The flying machine in Wicked?
If so:
I think there is some kind of platform attached to a lifty-thing. Also, the skirt you see when Elphaba is flying is not the skirt the actress is really wearing. It is a "false front" (I think). The actress stands on the platform and I think has something around her waist...I'm sorry, this isn't really very helpful. This is all mostly my speculation. But it has been discussed several times, so if you do a search you might come up with something more concrete.

She steps back onto a trap door (noone sees it) kinda like a platfrom/cadge. Then when shes moving up saying {{ ITS MEEEE]] then the back drop goes up with her dress and thats it. And as my icon shows thats the ending pose. Hope it helped you.

Thanks I can kinda get a visual. Is it somewhat like Galinda's Bubble Machine?

Um..no..far from it.

"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive. "Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot." "No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one." Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.
