Fly Girl: Backstage at "Wicked" with Lindsay Mendez, Episode 8: Saying Goodbye! 

This new-found knowledge about the show only makes me want to see it again.

I totally wish you the actors and actresses could wear like a go pro during the performance. To see the whole show from their eyes... It would be awesome!!

I looove when they're in the greenifying process and all of a sudden, the show starts up again and you can hear it, but everyone keeps on going as if nothing's happening. Ugh, I love it.

Wait, so the lift goes higher during the "nobody in all of Oz..." part of Defying Gravity? I never noticed that!

She has such a nice vibe! didn't knew her and now loving her

13:43 I would of died if Lindsay said “I’m melting, I’m melting!” 😂💚

Watching these makes me want to be Elphaba so badly. And 1) I'm a dude, and 2) not even a dude with a high range. Thank you, Lindsay, for letting me live vicariously through you.

i love how organised broadway stage doors are. in england it's like a free-for-all! crazy!

Mary Kay looks like a perfect Nessa Rose

I love how Lindsay's singing in the shower! That's a good way to keep your voice in check

My Favourite Moments of this Video is1. When Lindsay showed everyone what it's like to fly During Defying Gravity using the Lift.2.the Degreenifying Process is very nice because Lindsay Showed us what she does to Get the Green Makeup off like makeup wipes and eye makeup remover and in the Shower she used a special Soap called Dr Branners Magic Soap to get the rest of the Green makeup off especially when she almost died in the Shower by her Dresser holding a Plastic Knife and Lindsay's Scream was Funny

See that is why you must always appreciate the dresser.

10:00 i swear i was about to cry :'(

10:00 gives me chills

I thought this is terrifying. Then I saw with Kara Lindsay on how Glinda starts the show in the bubble ride up up there in the dark beyond the lights and all. Much more terrifying!!

I love wicked It must be hard to do all of this work I can not believe you are elphaba she is my favorite and you might even be my favorite elphaba

Who else is watching this in 2019😂😂

I just watched through this whole fly girl series because I just discovered my playbill from when I saw Wicked in 2013 on my nyc/dc school trip and I was lucky enough to see Lindsay during her run. It was crazy going back in time through these vlogs now that I am older and my love and appreciation for theater has just grown more than ever. I've never forgotten the feeling I felt as a young girl when Defying Gravity ended in just such amazement at the passion and power a live show could bring. Wicked was the first Broadway show I ever saw and I am just so grateful for this production. Hopefully I will be able to see it again some time in the future... who knows maybe even for the 20th anniversary ten years late... just sending that out into the universe...

NOOOOOOOOOOO! NOT THE LAST EPISODE! I'm just now finding this. I would like to see her blog all the time. Shes great.

I did Show Boat there at the Gershwin for our 3 year run there in the late 90's. Thank you so much for this magical walk down memory lane as I watch your fantastic vid's backstage at that beautiful Theatre...I remember it all. You are all amazingly talented and though, Broadway is still closed due to Covid, I know you will all be back one day soon. Cheers from Canada!

Thank you, Lindsay and everyone at Wicked for this backstage pass! I absolutely loved this series. Getting to see Elphaba's perspective during Defying Gravity was pretty amazing, and as a fan, I so appreciate Lindsay's enthusiasm for not just the show but for the show's fans. You're awesome! We'll miss you!

i sooooo wish i could go on tour with wicked and get to see it every single night!!! its my all time favorite Broadway musical!! It never gets old!!!

If this is a goodbye I see Ep 9!

These were absolutely fantastic!! Totally binge-watched all these episodes in one glorious go. Just this weekend gone, I went to see Wicked in London for the twelfth time. I simply adore the show and it was fascinating and wonderful (har) to get this incredible sneek peek at what goes on behind the scenes. Amazing. Thank you so much for making these (even if I am a little late to the party in watching them ;) )

Thank u Lindsay for this amazing series!!!! Love u!

Carol Kane slays me

this was awesome and she is so beautiful and lovely

I think her vlogs are the best Wicked backstage vlogs out there. Don't get me wrong, I love Little Sparkle, Call Me Madame and Fiyero Time too, but in Lindsays you really get to see what is like to be on this show. Love her

Lindsey, I love when you say: "Yayyyyyyy" :3

The series was amazing!!! My daughter and I would LOVE to see this continue.

I absolutely love how down to earth and giving you are! I hope we can hear from you soon!!

I just made me a Movie Out of all episodes. It's 2 hours long and I still love it. Please do a second season!!!! Please please please

I was so into this! They should do another one with Katie called "Bubble Girl" so we can keep watching.

Season 2! I love you Lindsay!

I loved this series sooooo much!!

Miss. Lindsay, You are an amazing person and performer and you have made my dream of wanting to be Boq or Fiyero on Broadway or some form of a company even stronger. You are so talented and I definatly want to hear more from you soon:) Sincerely, TheDarkRideBoy

10:00 I always thought the door was operated electronically also the music sounds so different from back there

I'm gonna cry, these are the best!

Poor Elphaba! She's stuck up there in the lift while everyone else gets to go on intermission. Lol, the price of Wicked fame. 😂 Thanks Lindsay! 💚🖤

I just binge watched all of the Fly Girl episodes and I need more!!!!! They are so interesting and fun to watch. I love watching these types of videos because as a person who LIVES and BREATHES theatre, I just love to see how everyone just hangs out backstage, and how quickly they change costumes, the way that they practice with each other and are al just great friends! I love this so much, please make more. 💚

Please keep this going! I get so excited when I see a new fly girl is posted! Please broadway.com!!

Wow, what a dream, what a job, what a life. This is every theatre kids' dream

Awww.. I'm sad its ending... Oh well, it was an amazing journey to go backstage at Wicked :)

Calls places *still getting makeup done and not in costume.* that happened to me once and I was dying 😂

So cool to see the flying from Lindsay's perspective. The made up words to Defying Gravity were funny.

Season 2 please!

awww sad it's over! Season 2 pleeeeeease!

Did anyone else get chills when she went up and showed the audience from that height? Reasons why I want to do this for the rest of my life...

Still my favorite vlog I've ever seen. To bad it had to end after 8 episodes. v.v

SEASON 2 PLEASE!!!

I may or may not have started crying when they were doing their curtain call.....

When you went all the way up I saw the seats I sat in four years ago when I saw it in 7th grade :)

So, first monday without Fly Girl. all i can say is, it is not the same, this was so much fun and interesting. please think about a second season. i would love it. All the best from Germany to the cast os a great great Show.

Lindsay is the cutest thing oh my lord
