Wicked - The First-Ever Original Production

I like it. :)

I think it looks interesting too. It does look "techno" in sets but not in most of the costumes. I would want to see more but based on that clip it looks a little cluttered. I love the fire effect in (what I'm guessing is) "No Good Deed" and the Galinda bubble.

It's very very different. I prefer the Broadway production!!

I enjoy the glinda bubble more...wouldn't would in broadway version though ! OTHERWISE...I don't care for the production AT ALL PS ...WE ALL HAVE OPINIONS

Glinda in that yellow dress looks like Velma Von Tussle.

On page 34 of the program, there is a certain someone present that is not seen in the original staging.

Although I prefer the costumes and overall look of the Broadway production, this is interesting. Minimalist, yet not tacky. I'm curious to know exactly how they use Dorothy. My best guess is her appearance in the melting scene, but I'm not sure how the actual melting would work.

A lot of the sets look inspired by Russian Constructivism. It's very cool.

What the heck is going on in page 22 of the program? Naked people in bubbles?

"On page 34 of the program, there is a certain someone present that is not seen in the original staging".

And that someone is the narrator who appears in the play from the beginning in NMTW, the cornfield scene and the melting which in this production is fantastic. Someone posted that the ring of fire was in NGD it's not, it's in the melting. One of the people who has seen the production said that there's a ring of actual fire around Elphaba when she's supposed to be on fire! The scene that follows after it of the hand is the end of the Melting.

Looks like they removed this topic from the site, why I don't have a clue but too bad because it was a really detailed and excellent look at the show

"What the heck is going on in page 22 of the program? Naked people in bubbles?"

The answer to that is in the girl's review but she was just as mystified by the explanation as you were by the photos. I'm still trying to figure out if the bubbles were in the book; it's been way too long since I read it!

"They are also doing a non-replica in Denmark, has that opened yet?"

No, not till Jan. 13, 2011 so the Helsinki production is the first non-replica production.

i'm kinda liking Fiyero's tattoo
