    I know im going to sound like a broken record when i say this, but everybody stop comparing this to Wicked!!!! I'm probably one of the biggest Wicked fans out there, but that doesn't mean I can't watch this the same way. I cheer when the Witch melts, and at the same time I cheer during Defying Gravity. There is room for more than one musical in OZ people.

    Amazing. I've never heard of Hannah Waddingham before seeing this video, but now, I am a HUGE fan. She's phenomenal. This is done so well.

    You seem to forget Glinda's remark that only bad witches are ugly. Glinda is a witch, and she's beautiful.

    "Wizard of Oz" is one of the best Musicals I have ever seen and Hannah did an awesome job! :o) It brought me back to my childhood - it's one of my favourite movies!

  • @neek243
    @neek243 12 років тому +15

    ok I am more of an Elphaba fan but I love the way they did this for Wizard of Oz she sounds like Margaret Hamilton. It is perfect...I will admit that if it wasnt for wicked the wizard of oz would be completely off my radar but I still really like this. Perfect fit for THIS story.

    I love Wicked and I adore Idina Menzel, but people need to quit comparing this to Wicked. Hannah's portrayal captures the classic evil vibe that Margaret Hamilton perfected. The bony, angular face, and her expressions are perfect. She plays a great Wicked Witch of the West. Idina is a perfect Elphaba. Leave it at that.

  • @Asylum07MasterMadman
    @Asylum07MasterMadman 12 років тому +16

    Its also only in the musical of Wicked, while the book is about how she BECOMES evil. So that makes the fact that people cannot separate these wholly different works even more ridiculous.

  • @nathand7304
    @nathand7304 11 років тому +82

    sadly yes :(... but at least Webber wrote a song in for her. the witch really diserves to have one

  • @rbfou5
    @rbfou5 11 років тому +38

    This is why things shouldn't be open domain. All I see is fans arguing over whether Wicked is a relevant story or that Wicked makes Elphaba look like a saint. I'm here to tell you guys, Wicked is relevant and so is the character. I love the Wizard of Oz and always will. But things and people are not always what they seem. Elphaba is not a perfect character just like Glinda isn't perfect either. The whole point of Wicked was how Elphaba became the Wicked Witch of the West.

    @farrenboredom 12 років тому +29

    Okay this comment makes me so upset. You are obviously not in musical theatre. NOTHING makes me angrier than people who try to make their Wicked Witch "Elphabay". I absolutely ADORE Wicked and Elphaba is, in fact, one of my dream roles. However, Wizard Of Oz and Wicked are COMPLETELY different musicals and it seems that people are truly forgetting the Wicked Witch's true character due to Wicked. While Elphaba is misunderstood, the Wicked Witch is a truly evil woman. Keep in mind the differences.

  • @MattDurand96
    @MattDurand96 13 років тому

    Hannah is such a great wicked witch of the west, i really want to see her and Michael Crawford and Daniel, the dress on Hannah is so grand and her wig well it may be different to other productions of the wizard of oz who have stuck to the original costume designs, but these work, its nice to see a little creativity in this production rather than sticking completely to the original story, i know they have to keep enough to live up to the original but there has to be some change.
    great video :)

  • @Mia-bz6yi
    @Mia-bz6yi 12 років тому +1

    it was a bit weird because i was watching a behind the scenes of wicked and they were saying how they made sure that they never went against the wizard of oz movie but then in the movie there was the wicked witch throwing fire at the scarecrow (fiyero!) haha

  • @connordance
    @connordance 11 років тому +16

    They used a rubber cap instead of a lace. And they have the microphone go under the wig which shows a little bit of the line.

  • @draganairgid
    @draganairgid 13 років тому +2

    @pjtheatreproductions to be honest, I think it goes rather well with the story line. She's singing about wanting the ruby slippers which is why the witch is after Dorothy lol

  • @wickedexpert
    @wickedexpert 13 років тому

    Idk why people are comparing and contrasting Wicked and this. For a start, they are different shows. Secondly, the whole point of Wicked is to show how the witch came to be so angry and ruthless. Wicked (as far as I can see) never claims that she is innocent and lovely ... she actually does lose her head at the end, and that's where this part would come in (if it was all fitted together). But all that's irrelevant.They are two shows guys! Get over it! I love Wicked but I can't wait to see this!

    I'm doing this musical for this local theater at my town, and I really want this part. Although I'm only in middle school and high schooler's are what i'm up against, but I'm really good. Im ALL nervous after watching this, seeing that it's a bigger part than what the movie (which is all I've ever seen of this) portrays her.

    @HagenIsNotAKitty 13 років тому +1

    @Liveactingforever From what I know, they do not have that song in the show...which makes no sense because Hannah's song includes "We all like to dance...you'll dance till your very last gasp..." people unaware of the cut number would be completely in the dark about what the hell she's saying.

    I doubt that your school will have this song in their play, I don't think this version is being performed anywhere other than London's West End right now...In traditional stagings of the play the Witch doesn't get any songs (as the only song not in the movie used is the jitterbug).

    In the original book, the witch wasn't even green, and had one eye. That should be proof enough that Wicked isn't canonical.

  • @PrincessOzaline
    @PrincessOzaline 13 років тому +1

    @pgoodwin230282 I don't know I try to ignore Wicked when looking at something based on the movie or based on the books... There are so many great oz projects that have nothing to do with Wicked and looking at one interpretation of the characters is pretty limiting. I myself am working on an Oz novel more in line with Baum, though a bit darker... and sometimes it feels like it's impossible to find a niche between MGM and Maguire.

  • @omnigeek13

    @killoa2002 You're wrong there - yeah the fact is that they're two different shows but its still Elphaba and she isn't evil - she wants them shoes off Dorothy cause as we all know they were nessa's.
    when this book was written we didn't know anything about the wicked witch? then WICKED came and we learnt so much about her back story. we all found out she wasn't nasty or evil she was misunderstood and framed :) xx

  • @Dusterian
    @Dusterian 13 років тому

    @omnigeek13 In this version of Oz, the shoes may have more than just the power to take people places quickly. They may grant almost any wish, and they did shock the Witch when she tried to take them. The Witch may not even really be sure of their power, as well. But the witch in the original book wanted them, maybe the Witch would be able to travel into the Emerald City in three steps and take over?

    You know, I think opts good the wicked witch got a song. Plus it's a good song. And those of you who are saying "oh poor elphaba" this isn't elphaba. This is the wicked witch of the west. Elphaba was a creation of Gregory maguire, not L. Frank Baum.this witch really is an evil woman who only wants the ruby slippers.

    @Petitozma it's so true I know it's not very butch being a fan of anything to do with Oz but never mind. Lol. I've got all the films and none of them stand up to the original film but all have there own merits and have there own reasons on loving them. I would like to see one that is cut off the whole Dorothy and the witches story line. As she can not be the only person to wonder what's over the rainbow. I feel it's the connection to the main characters that spoil any new story.

  • @inlovewithJLT
    @inlovewithJLT 13 років тому

    @pjtheatreproductions I agree. If this were an original production of 'The Wizard of Oz' I wouldn't mind something so out of character, but it's supposed to be the MGM Oz, going so far as to use the same music, so there should be more respect to the original.

  • @RoseRed12393
    @RoseRed12393 12 років тому +1

    I cannot agree more with this statement. I never saw Wicked to be canon to the original books/1939 movie, and that's the way it should be because they are way too different, in fact I see it more as glorified fanfiction. Elphaba is a character that you sympathize with more and the Wicked Witch is just an evil character that has no qualms with killing anything or anyone that gets in her way.
