Lindsay Mendez and Derek Klena perform "Come to a Party" and "Nothing Short of Wonderful" by Pasek and Paul at the DOGFIGHT CD Release Party @ Joe's Pub. www.pasekandpaul.com
"He's got Wicked on the brain." Derek eventually plays Fiyero... who turns into the scarecrow... who has no brain. Lindsay plays Elphaba who is the only character in Wicked to get Fiyero back on the right path. Lindsay does just this. OMG. Mind blown!
I love how she knows him so well. When he starts messing up the words I love how she looks at him like 'Yeh, ok, what ever works!' It's just so cute!! Klendez forever!
I love that around 2:13 you can tell Lindsay knows he's got the lyrics wrong. And she just teases him with her eyes. Like, "Oh! Uh huh :) Okay." So adorable.
Oh my god, this has to be the most adorable thing I've ever seen! Derek is the cutest,with his little dimples, and Lindsay is too precious! Also, his little slip-up was absolutely precious
After seeing Wicked on tour 12 times, I finally got to see it on Broadway for the 10th anniversary. Was supposed to be this pair, but I had Lindsay's understudy. She was wonderful too.
I just love how they're not in costume or not in (proper) character in any way, yet they still act like there's heaps going on. Like, the part where Lindsay is still telling Derek to 'give it back' even though they clearly don't have a broom. Gosh. I love them so much.
She got the dog tags from Joe Montela on opening night of Dog Fight I believe and she got the Rose pendant from Derek Klena also on opening night.. I'm really not certain if Joe Montella gave them to her on Opening night though, but I'm pretty sure that's when Derek gave her the Rose pendant..
I have literally watched this all day... apart from the hour and a half I spent watching the movie "Dogfight". I was dying to see the other parts of the story! Forgive me for moving away from Klendez.
Lyrics Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh... Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, holy cow, what to wear, And your hair, what a mess, pick a dress, oh my gosh, Are you mourning a death? Take a breath. What a look, I mistook you for butternut squash. Oh my gosh Keep it soft, keep it bright, be a girl, something pink, Don't you think, just a touch, not too much, he likes you, Just be you, he won't care what you wear, I dunno, should I go with the pink or the blue? What to do? For someone who is nothing short of wonderful? Nothing short of wonderful... Just a girl, just a guy, but it's him, and it's you, And it's true what you've heard, like a bird how you lift And your chest feels a pull like you're full of a joy, 'cause a boy interrupted your shift. Like something nothing short of wonderful, Oh it was nothing short of wonderful. What if, when we're dancing, I'm clumsy? Our feet collide What if, when we're dancing, he dips me? Our lips meet And we glide across the room? And it feels nothing short of wonderful Nothing short of wonderful Hurry up, he won't wait, he can't wait half the night Either white or maroon, you're a loon, you're a mess And you think you might bust, but you've just got to choose Pick the shoes, and decide on the dress And you'll be nothing short of wonderful Nothing short of wonderful Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, on a date, on a date, But you can't make him wait, no you can't make him late And your room is in heaps and you can't see the floor But you finally get what a girdle is for Oh my gosh... Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my g--- Oh my gosh
I'm currently doing tech for this show and this is the number where everyone on crew, sound, and lights starts radioing each other to fix stuff, because it goes on for so long and there isn't a single cue lmao
