Had to bring this dead thread back. Just got home from NYC a couple of days ago and saw Wicked for the first time, then again the next night (with rush tickets! Woohoo!).
Anyway, the first night went off without a hitch, and I really enjoyed the show. The second night, during the scene where Glinda and Elphie are having some girl talk in their bedroom (before Popular), Glinda's bed and closet (with the shoes) didn't come out. Funny as hell. Elphie went, "Where's your bed?" and after a few seconds of Kristin tap dancing in the half empty stage, she said, "Can I share yours?" "OK!". There was a fair amount of laughter but really, the funny part was (well, I suppose it depends on how you look at it) that they were still laughing when Kristin says the line (paraphrasing), "Ok, I've told you my secret, what's yours? Come on, I told you a good one." and they're still giggling and Idina pauses, straightens up and goes, "My father hates me." And they continued on with the scene.
Then afterwards, the bed comes out (after a lot of pushing from Idina and Kristin sprawled and "swimming" up stage) and the closet suddenly comes from no where, causing Kristin to interrupt what she was saying and going, "Oh! Finally. It was slow, but it was gooood." which had Idina cracking up all over again.
Very amusing, but I don't think it would be for people who haven't seen the show. I saw Rent a few days earlier for the first time and "Mark"'s microphone stopped working before La Vie Boheme, and Kristen Lee Kelly and a couple of others sitting at his end of the table actually muttered, "Do you want to use my mike?" and started taking it off while the scene was going on. Not huge on that.
