the staging of this song with protest signs and with the emerald city citizens is SO effective, it feels so much darker and real than the usual staging
Oh, they're not protest signs at all. They're actually signs that help Ozians show their appreciation to Dorothy and her friends, especially wishing them good luck on hunting down and eliminating the Wicked Witch of the West (i.e., Elphaba Thropp). Does that make sense to you?
I am in LOVE with the additions of Dorothy, Scarecrow, the Tin Man and Cowardly Lion. Sure, they appear as shadows or briefly towards the end in the original but the way they enter the castle during the Melting then gayly skip off afterwards, or how this scene is staged, god, it's perfection!
Danke dir so sehr fürs teilen von all den Videos ich bin wirklich größter Wicked Fan und die Hamburg Version nochmal zu hören… kann ich kaum beschreiben 😭 diese Produktion geht echt unter die Haut und vor allem dieses Video direkt ins Herz besser als alle anderen Produktionen meiner Meinung nach 😍🥹
