WICKED Hair and Makeup: Monkeys 

I’ve had the privilege of seeing Wicked twice now, once in 2008 in Dallas, and again in 2017 on Broadway. I didn’t remember from seeing it the first time that one of the monkeys took flight above the audience, either bc of time gap between attended performances or bc I was in the rear mezzanine the first time. However, I sat 3rd row from the stage when seeing it last year on Broadway, and was in total awe of the Gorgeous and intricate detailing in the monkey costumes. Then that monkey took flight. It caught me off guard and startled me to the point I felt I almost left a puddle under my seat. I still laugh at myself for being so jumpy, but Oz certainly has a way of leaving a mark on everyone who visits in some capacity.

Jonathan, I applaud whatever you're doing to get that butt.

I would love to be able to play that part. It is just amazing. The wings, the costumes, and the jumping around it is just awesome.

So glad to see Alyce in the video, she's amazing and really nice!!!

I’ve been trying to work out very similar wings for a few years, for Mardi Gras. The mechanical part has me in fits, good to know it’s possible.

@jhorcher2696 Be sure to check our official website for a tour schedule. Keep checking back as we update more cities!

I loved the monkeys the moat

@outlanderfrog you are correct that he was in a very porter musical however you are mistaken he has appeared on broadway since being on glee, he started in the musical "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" for a limited engagement, ironically replacing Daniel Radcliffe. I would suggest reading up on your facts next time;-)

I want to this this for Christmas! :]

@TradesOnBroadway Theres a video of Stephanie J. Block explaining Defying Gravity, from CBS I believe.

I'm in that play I'm a flying monkey lolly pop guild and a ozian

I'd like to wear that unitard and be in the show. The acting would be cool, but I just like wearing spandex

just wondering it that is mark sailing in the clip at 0:33 ?

lol

@OfficialWICKED Hah I've seen them all!! I'm trying so hard not to ruin the show for the kids in TV class. Buuuuut it's so hard not to sing all the songs and talk about Wicked when you're a big fan of the show. Gahh can't January just come already?!!? xD

yes that is how you spell shnap

I'm just kidding there's no such thing

spam!

first to comment!!! o shnap

A world nobody has imagined? Obviously you don't know about the furry subculture.. :P Other than that little nitpick though, very intresting video regardless.
