@Eric Hughes Well Wicked is more "filmable" than Cats. As Wicked actually has story structure and dialogue. I believe in the hand of good filmmakers, it can be as good as the adaptation of Chicago and Dreamgirls
@@CountryCowboy008 i think he was very attractive during his younger days and Wicked, obviously he's older now but he still looks fine. Just in my opinion tho 😊
It's a little disappointing that they don't show the end where he asks her, "What is it?" and she answers, "It's just..for the first time, I feel..wicked".
Totally agree. It’s often the case cause they bring the characters to life for the first time so everyone after that is really just building from that vision. Love this OG cast.
@@faithdolan5717 I think you are referring to the film version which was in the works (Dec. 2019 was the original release date), but, according to Wikipedia, it has been placed on hold 😪
Man wouldn't it be great if they did the original cast on broadway again? I would totally see it. Or even if they put it on a dvd. they clearly have the footage. I think that would be awesome.
Yeah, I totally agree, I'm all on your side. I want that too, especially for them putting the original cast on a DVD, cause yeah, they clearly have the footage. It WOULD be awesome
0:45 just the way Elphaba was looking at Fiyero pierced my heart... Like the look of "damn, all my life I've been made to believe that I'm nothing but an abomination. But here I am, loved by this gorgeous man in front of me..." Then the number after this is No Good Deed 😭😭😭😭 That's what I think the newer Elphabas miss - the acting part.
another reason I love them was because they weren't overly excessive on the romance. Norbert and Idina (IMO) showed intense passion and the soft touches in their blocking just made me FEEL the sexual tension. It fits the characters, how they would act themselves, how they would act around each other, and it's sweet and romantic because it's gentle and soft; they don't look like they're about to pounce on each other on stage like other performances I've seen. There's lust, sure, but I think they made me feel the love between the characters more than anything else :)
THIS. ive seen other people do this and like you said it feels like the lead up to something we are def not supposed to see. ive also noticed that some people put their hands all over each other so much to the point where it doesn't make sense. like it feels excessive and like it's not actully doing anything
My ex-husband never liked Norbert's voice. I should've known then that things wouldn't end well for us. NORBERT, YOUR HARMONIES ARE AUDIO PERFECTION. 1:06 onward is just....no words. What a voice.
@@free_siobhan It's the passion she put into her acting. Singing can be meh, but the way she sang it with her deep passion for the character is what makes her the besg
That One Hamilton Fan maybe I was a bit harsh, but I’m not wrong. The reason she sounds good in Frozen is because it was pre recorded. Her live performances may not be bad, but are definitely much worse. She did use unhealthy technique in past performances, and it damaged her voice pretty substantially. Also, I sure cannot sing those high notes. I’m a baritone. But does that really matter?
I'm french so, thanks god, I don't relate her with Frozen because she is not the french voice of Elsa. I only relate her with Wicked, Rent and Enchanted 😉💚
The line that always gets me is "Come be how you want to, and see how bright we shine!" Both of these people have spent years being what other people expect them to be... You can see exactly how special it is to have one brief moment where what _they_ want is all that matters. Chokes me up every time.
I would pay for the actual release copy of this, holy shit. Idina and Norbert were just the ultimate cast for this. Why won't they just accept my money...
As much as I hate to say it, there just is no comparison. This is the best as long as your mine, and possibly the best cast, hands down. Idina menzel is always iconic and the actor playing fiero just matches both her and the voice I imagine for the character so perfectly. It’s really, really hard to beat. I wish I could watch it.
I have been inlove with Norbert Leo Butz because of the way he sang this song. Swoon worthy lol. Every song he sings always make it to my list lol. I have this song, Time Stops from Big Fish and The Next Ten Minutes on my playlist eversince. He is so crazy good with duets!
OMG I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT WHO FIYERO ACTUALLY IS😂😂😂😂😂 I JUST CANNOT GET MY MIND OFF THE ABSOLUTE FREAKIN D R A M A THAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED DURING THE WIZARD OF OZ IF EVERYONE KNEW..... JEEZ OMG WOW OK GOD THIS IS A PLOT TWIST AT ITS FINEST😂😂
I pictured Fiyero as African American. I'm remembering the scene in the book where Glinda is appalled at the idea of an affair with Fiyero because he's "So dark".
And let's not forget the "skin the color of shit" comment from Tibbett (I think) when he first showed up after the flying antler incident. So from then on I guessed he must've been African American. (Not that I'm saying African Americans are the color of shit, just a quote people)
Sydni Myers In the book it specifically refers to Fiyero's skin as the "color of ochre," which lends itself to describing anything from a light tan to greenish dark, I guess! It was shocking to check out the RU-vid videos and see a very "regular" guy. Not at all matching the beautiful Fiyero in my mind!
this is like poetry.,. beautiful to the detail... and i think idina's poze is very spot on, she just left herself in fiyero's hands like she should do and i liked that fiyero's smile in the end..
I’ve always been fascinated by the Beauty and the Beast aspect of Elphaba and Fiyero’s relationship because in this situation, the genders have been been swapped so that the man is the Beauty and the woman is the Beast
Don't be surprised if any of the elphaba actresses do a touch up on the green. Often times when intermission starts, the actress who does elphaba is normally in a chair either greening themselves up or they have a makeup artist who greens them up more.
Elphaba does get greener as the scenes go on as she is getting older and they want her face to look mature and well as they say it, more.... Wicked. Hope it helps! :)
Song Kiss me too fiercely Hold me too tight I need help believing You're with me tonight My wildest dreamings Could not foresee Lying beside you With you wanting me And just for this moment As long as you're mine I've lost all resistance And crossed some borderline And if it turns out It's over too fast I'll make every last moment last As long as you're mine Maybe I'm brainless Maybe I'm wise But you've got me seeing Through different eyes Somehow I've fallen Under your spell And somehow I'm feeling It's "up" that I fell Every moment As long as you're mine I'll wake up my body And make up for lost time Say there's no future For us as a pair And though I may know I don't care Just for this moment As long as you're mine Come be how you want to And see how bright we shine Borrow the moonlight Until it is through And know I'll be here holding you As long as you're mine What is it? It's just, for the first time, I feel wicked

Elphaba: (spoken) It's just... For the first time... I feel... Wicked! From wicked.wikia.com/wiki/As_Long_As_You%27re_Mine
Looking at this, I find myself thinking... when they do the film adaptation (seriously, if they've done CATS, you can't tell me Wicked doesn't deserve one), do you think they'll maybe just have this as a voice-over while Fiyero and Elphaba 'spend some time together' rather than them outright singing? Obviously "What is it" and "I feel... wicked" will be spoken at the end.
Kamryn VanKatwyk When did Elsa see herself as wicked? She just wanted to be alone so no one else got hurt. Hell, Elsa has a moment to cross the line with the two guards attacking her, but she spares them. I won't deny they have similarities, but there's plenty of subtle differences a lot of people seem to want to play off, too.
I wish I would see Wicked: The Animated Musical, the one that has the Cast from _Aladdin_ , _Animaniacs_ , _Cats Don't Dance_ , _Peter Pan_ , _The Aristocats_, and _Tiny Toon Adventures_ : Sawyer Cat as Elphaba Babs Bunny as Galinda Buster Bunny as Fiyero Duchess as Madame Morrible Danny Cat as The Wizard Hamton Pig as Boq Fifi le Fume as Nessarose Jafar as Dr. Dillamond George Darling as Frex Mary Darling as Melena Wendy Darling as The Midwife Including... Genie as The Peddler Along with Extras: Yakko Warner, Wakko Warner, Dot Warner, Pinky, The Brain, Slappy Squirrel, Skippy Squirrel, Mindy, Buttons, Otto Scratchensniff, Hello Nurse, Ralph the Guard, Thaddeus Plots, Pesto, Bobby, Squit, Runt, Rita, Flavio Hippo, Marita Hippo, and the Rest of the Cast of _Animaniacs_ and Shirley the Loon, Plucky Duck, Montana Max, Elmyra, Furrball, Sweetie, Little Sneezer, Little Beeper, Calamity Coyote, Dizzy Devil, Gogo Dodo, and the Citizens of Wackyland. And can Wicked the Animated Musical be a 19 part Video with songs played one at a time? And it would be included with the ending credits to see who played the characters of _Wicked_ including who voiced the _Aladdin_ , _Animaniacs_ , _Cats Don't Dance_ , _Peter Pan_ , _The Aristocats_, and _Tiny Toon Adventures_ characters?
This is so good 😊 the song is totally romantic, this deserve some credit, I wish they put this one DVD 📀 Blu-Ray, The Original Broadway Cast is so better.
