This week Martin's video diary provides us with a look inside the theatre, a glance at the Wicked set still under construction. And I think its looking fabulous. Next week Martin will take us backstage, show us the set when it is lit, and we'll get to meet some members of the Wicked London company.
Enjoy!

Looks like a cool addition if they dont

I believe that the organ pipes are a feature of the Apollo Victoria Theatre - I hope that they'll keep them exposed above the dragon...

Maybe some of that green is gonna come off! -Deodorant Elphie. No body likes a stinky witch! -I think we've covered the hair, we'll get to that. -Clean underclothes. That's all I'm gonna say. -Look at your posture. That's no way to be popular! -Bed made, room straightened. We've done that. -Colors blended. Oookay. -But the most important thing to have, to make yourself popular, is to keep your beautiful smile." ~Kristin Chenoweth in her last performance of the song "Popular"

Those organ pipes would be cool, if they do anything but sit on the proscenium.

i'd imagine (if they are real) they cound somehow incorporate them in to the opening blast of notes( in a way that does not make it sound like Phantom's overture) Of in all the noise when the Wizard is talking through the head.

I wonder if they'll make more mention of the time dragon clock in the London version and later incorporate it into the Broadway show, to better explain the set chocies. I like the pipes. It looks like a giant theater. Is the marquee up yet? I'd love to see it.

Yes they all have dragons, no they don't have the organ pipes, which I believe were mentioned in the original novel.
