In the latest installment of Fly Girl, "Wicked" headliner Lindsay Mendez educates viewers on the role of a Broadway standby and introduces the ladies' ensemble. Then Derek Klena shows off some backstage art. - Zábava
The swings work so hard! I was so impressed when she just casually was like "yeah, i know 19 parts."
"Tiffany had her appendix out about a week ago" And she's still doing the show! The recovery's supposed to be longer than that, because I had mine out and I took a while to recover. She's such a trooper!
Let's also take in the fact that she was going on as Glinda for a couple of days which is a tough role 😂
Fur realz! She's fucking amazing!
I actually just met Tiffany today and she is absolutely amazing! ( I haven’t watched the video yet so idk what she did say but...) She has such a huge heart and auditioned for wicked 7 times and the 8th time she finally heard a yes, she had a bunch of funny little stories like how she told her parents her character’s name was Swing and didn’t know that she’d be an actual swing. also when she was going up in the bubble the first time she was so excited and the crew members were supposed to take a break but they wanted to get Tiffany down before the went on break but she was like “ It’s fine another five minutes won’t hurt me “ because she had waited so long to play glinda.
She’s also an amazing hugger
I really want to see Derek with the green and the lipstick on him lol
same
Nicole Nelson same
NNelson same as well
Honestly... Me
Same
"Maybe I'll look smaller, since I'm missing an organ!" Omfg, I love Tiffany! And Lindsay's "heyyo!" Makes me crack up every time without fail!
Tiffany has such a lovely whimsical speaking voice! :)
yaaas
When Derek appeared, I died.
The amount of parts that those swings know is INSANE. I can learn lyrics/lines pretty well but there's no way I'd be able to learn even 3, let alone 19! x
During this Covid Omicron insanity, I had the privilege of seeing Catherine Charlebois play Nessarose on the tour in Cleveland. I was so insanely surprised and pleased to see her name on the cast sheet that night. It immediately made me think of "Fly Girl".
u should show us what the original elphaba (idina menzel) and glinda (kristin chenoweth) wrote on the wall
Ik that this is 7 years late. But that mural didn't exist back with Idina and Kristin. As Derek said, it was only painted once the company that he, Lindsay, Katie, and all of the actors shown in Fly Girl are currently in, started on Broadway. So, it didn't exist until about 2013.
I can imagine Lindsey slipping and almost falling into the orchestra and just a whole bunch of silence and her laughing
The fight scene was so awkward and funny! It is really interesting to see how everything looks when there are no costumes, sets, lights, and their voices are not being projected out into the theater.
Lindsay and Tiffany rehearsing the catfight scene = Classic!!!
It makes me smile Fiyero gets green on him after kissing Elphaba... :)
When Derek is showing the mural you can hear One Short Day
Is it just me or do Boq's legs look better in tights than most girls??
Agreed.
Than me anyway lol.
no...agree sis
Wooo Briana! Saw her as Nessarose five years ago. I was fresh out of middle school. I am now a sophomore in college. Oh my god. I need a moment.
I love it when Lindsay says "hey-oh!!" It cracks me up every time!
Ive watched this video like 100 times and I never realized until today that the Maya girl is labeled as Rob Harmon lol 9:39
+Jfad18 i was just about to comment that same thing lol
Sameeeee
Me tooo
İ noticed that the first time and i was like what
İ was gonna say how did no one notice that
15:23 "Sorry 'bout it." So. Much. Sass. lol
sh0ppy95 I know, right? I wish I'd been able to see her live instead of in youtube videos xD
Fly Girl is my favorite of these backstage series. Lindsay, Derek, and Katie Rose are all so funny and adorable! I hope Fly Girl never ends!!!!
This is my dream I would love to be on broadway 🙌
Tahila Miles same
I would DIE to be on broadway
Same!
Same. WE GOT THIS!!!
Same 😀😀😀
All I can think of at 3:56 is "this diva needs her stage!" from RENT
I hope that when Wicked closes, they keep that mural on the walls- it's way too awesome to paint over! :O
KLENNNNDDEEEZZZZ
Love how everybody is friendly and super excited about acting with each other ❤️
IM SO GLAD WE SAW DOROTHY! I always wondered who played the silhouette
THE CAT FIGHT LMAO
omg tiffany was my first glinda.i saw wicked for the first time when they came to Virginia and she blew the roof off starting a major love affair between me and wicked
Tiffany Haas is amazing!
I saw Carla Stickler live as Elphie, SHE WAS AMAZING! Her No Good Deed is so great!
i think it;s safe to say that Caherine Charlebois' favorite saying is :"Oh god" LOL!
These are so fun to watch!
That mural on the stairs is AMAZING!!!!
DONNA VIVINO!!
Lindsay Mendez
Rob is so sassy I love it
But seriously Derek is so adorable! :) Love him!
I saw tiffany as glinda and loved her
I love Lindsay's enthusiasm!!
I think the Fight Call Practice for the Catfight Scene was my Favourite Part and Also the Educational Session on what is a Standby in Musical Theatre with Tiffany was fun too
SHOW DONNA VIVINO I LOVE HER AND SHES AMAZING!!!! I saw her in san diego a while ago and she is fierce
I wish Derek was shirtless
Wtf
jai jackson Like all the time!!!!!
I saw Tiffany when the show was in Detroit, she is a fantastic Glinda :)
why is my favorite part when she is heating up her burrito? LMAO
I love that the ensemble parts of Glinda's shoulder friends have names. And they're correct to the book! Well.. at least Shenshen is 100% confirmed. Hoping that the other shoulder friend is named either Milla or Pfannee.
7:11 Carla!!!! OMFG this girl is an amazing Elphie!!! Shes fierce and give ephie anger problems!! Her defying gravity was amazing but her no good dead was to die for!! This girl has AMAZING riffs!! I really hope they give her the role when Lindsay leaves. Love ya Carla!!
Lol. When they introduced the girl in the blue it says Rob Harmon! Lol!!!!!!!

I went to see WICKED on Wednesday October 23 and you were AMAZING!!!!!!!!! I LOVE WICKED!!!!! And I got your autograph!!!!!!!
She is off stage crying at the beginning of the Castle scene before FOR GOOD and behind the scrim in the shadows during the melting scene
I was waiting for Lindsay to say to Heather Spore (Dorothy) "So, you killed my sister. What's that about?" But it never came.
LOVE Tiffany Haas! Saw her as Glinda in Austin, TX last year!!!!! Amazing girl!
omg I just died at 8;28 with the lady dancing in the background
When Derek's face showed up it was like "Good Morning, Sexual!"
I actually got to meet Donna Vivino when I was in New York a couple of weeks ago. I did an improv workshop with her, she was so lovely and talented. It was really cool too, she had to keep her phone on because she wasn't sure if she was going on for Wicked that night. She had been on the night before and her skin was still a little bit green.
I'd really love to see Lindsay Mendez though!! This series is excellent!
Omg Donna Vivino is standby
Elphaba is my ultimate dream role and these vids, though they may be old, are one of my sources of motivation
OMGGG tiffany hass is the one that I saw when they were on tour and came to jacksonville! she was pretty good! :) Its cool to see her so close! ah I love these vlogs!! do them forever!!!
Dang Tiffany. She's like a super peppy ninja with that wand.
Omg Tiffany is adorable. :)
I love these :)
Gotta love Carla :)
I want to see Wicked soooo badly :( but they don't show it anymore in Germany :( So i have to stick to the soundtrack. But these videos are awesome :) I wouldn't mind a second season :)
I love Michael wartella sm💗❤️
that cat fight scene hahaha
You are awesome !!!! You look great
Whenever Glinda (or ga-linda) twirls her wand or staff in the huge dress during the slapping scene i go into hysterics. I did last night at the theater and everyone was like girl what? It was so fun last night but all day I was tired lol.
