That was the best video so far! I'm glad we finally got to meet the cast/crew, even though I love watching Martin! He could keep me amused all day! haha

me too! I love him with his new haircut. I also love British guys.

and here is my idea: any guy (but especially British, Scottish, and Irish guys) who wears a black, navy, or hunter green turtle-necks is hott! No bright colors, white, or even dark red. what do you think?

So wait.
Courtyard scene? When did Wicked ever have a courtyard scene? Also, after the whole Idina thing, there's the guy playing the piano. Either that song is just some random song he's playing, or... it's a new song, that takes place in a courtyard?

I was thinking the same thing about the song- i wonder if its new. I think the courtyard seen is the one right before One Short Day, when Elphie is about to get on the train and Fiyero comes.

I don't think they are in a courtyard though, I always thought they were already at the train station.

Oh lucky you! I'm glad someone will be reporting back though. I heard there were going to be several changes, but I thought they were mostly in jokes that would be told.

Can't wait to hear all about it!

"I wrote a book: "How to Be Popular". Now I've put together a top ten list of how to help you: -Elphie, everyday... shower. I mean, who knows? 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"

Isn't the intro to DANCING THROUGH LIFE in the "courtyard?"

I think you're right, I think it is. But Elphaba isn't in that scene, is she? Seen the show three times and can't remember for the life of me!

the courtyard could very well be the random location that elphaba sings "i'm not that girl" in

I'm not that girl takes place under the bridge. Where that bridge is, I have no idea.
Could be Dancing Through Life, I've never thought about where it was.

That's the only courtyard I can think of.

Elphaba is in it, or just after the courtyard, with Nessa re: the party...

I definitely assumed she was talking about the scene before I'm not that girl... but thats true, dancing through life IS actually more of a couryard... but elphie's only in that part for like... a tiny, tiny amount of time, no? though.. maybe, could she mean the scene right after dear old shiz/before wizard and I?? isn't that in the courtyard also? I could be wrong.. haha

I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay. Something next to normal is what I'd like to try. Close enough to normal to get by.

Dear Old SHiz must take place inside because there are thos paintings and that curtain hanging.

But who knows. A lot of things in the show don't connect.
