From what I understand Kerry accidentally hit the lever that locked her into the lift with her elbow and not her back like the scene choreography normally called for. Since the computer only sensed when the lift was closed, and technically ready to go up, it started lifting even though she wasn't fully locked in. She realized this and panicked thinking she would fall and get hurt. The scene was immediately stop and she got down without getting hurt. I applaud her for making sure she finished the scene, but I'm truly glad she was ok.
I absolutely love hearing the orchestra without vocals. The drama of the moment add to the bizarreness of the clip but I think hearing an actual orchestra go full blast without the vocals makes my hair stand on end.
As a stage manager, this is quite chilling and suddenly my mind is going into crisis control mode even though I know she's okay and this happened a decade ago hahaha
It's something that never turns off in your brain, no matter how long you've been away from the call mic. Seeing shows, I can never *really* relax because some part of my mind is still seeing the stage from an SM perspective. Kudos to the team for keeping everyone safe!
Did anyone else notice that the “aAaAahhhhh” was extended? I think it’s because they wanted to come back from that accident strong so they did that. Because usually that last riff is 6 seconds it was 10 here.
Elphaba provides the conductor work the cure to end the song so on any night the length of the last note is determined by actress as is the the length of the word "me" on the first "bring me down"
In the score, the final note of the riff is notated with a fermata(for all vocals and piano), which means it's to be held for an unspecified amount of time but longer than the normal note value that is there, or, as long as the performer or conductor wants. I'm assuming the ensemble, and conductor follow every different Elphaba every night as she leads the song. But just a guess.
Came to the comments to see if anyone else noticed her pacing. She killed it vocally, but you can tell her adrenaline is in high gear (which, DUH), because she's sprinting through the song @@cristiancorey468
Tucker,Fearn and Bentley’s Angel Forever she may not be ur “favorite” actress but wishing that she could have severely injured her self or possibly could have died is messed up, i don’t care if it is ur opinion or the blunt truth.
@Tucker,Fearn and Bentley’s Angel Forever fuck is your issue you literally go starting shit with everyone in wicked videos you absolutely trash tall every elphaba you dont like and cause argumemts it was no reason for you go have gotten hostile with him
I got a zoom workshop with Kerry Ellis the other day. It was absolutely amazing! I’m so lucky to have got the chance to do it. She’s so talented and really nice!
Wow even tho she didn’t get hurt it must of been traumatising. Well done to her and the rest of the cast for carrying on. This is where. You know someone is meant to be in the west end because they will always make sure the show must go on
Okay so a couple of things, that was terrifying to listen to but like that was one of the fiercest DGs I’ve ever heard! Like after that crazy experience she killed that ending! And that “it’s me” ugh chills
I'm a bit late, but she wasn't fully secured in the machine that is supposed to lift her when it started going up. then she screamed STOP and got saved
Something along the lines of "Ladies and Gentlemen, we are pleased to inform you that the performance can now commence, thank you." Basically, I think a stage manager says it whenever something like this happens. They normally say at first "Ladies and gentlemen, we're sorry but (show title) can not continue at this time and will be back momentarily." and then follow up again when the show can continue and everything is alright.
Devoted Cetacean her skirt got stuck on the machine that is gonna lift her to the air or something like that, and she started flying without safety, and she could have fallen
Nasir Roper I don’t exactly know but I think she might have been able to go back up. Because it was just because of her actual skirt getting stuck. So she miiiight have been able to go back up. I am not for sure tho.
her dress got caught in the lift and when it started to go up she fell out of the lift and was literally hanging from her dress 100 feet in the air then the dress ripped and she fell but Dianne Pilkington caught her
Halsey R wait where did you hear that? From what I’ve heard she wasn’t strapped in properly and she panicked that she would get injured. i didn’t read anything about her falling but i could be wrong.
Don't mock performers please. She wasn't clumsy accidents happen all the time in theater it's part of the job. Your comment is quite rude and disturbing. She's incredibly talented otherwise she wouldn't have been cast in the first place. Please be respectful.
Wicked the musical is coming up what should I name it ti prevent it from copyright?

Despite the scream of absolute terror, I think that's one of the best finale's I've ever heard
when kerry screams and shouts stop and dianne goes “KERRY” that was so scary to hear she was so concerned
What's funny is Dianne screamed "Kerry!" right on pitch as if she'd said "Elphie" 😂

She sounds so so frightened at 0:18 when screaming "stop" (and I'm pretty sure she was terrified but to hear it 😥)

Oh my god just hearing her panicked scream and voice made my heart drop. I would freak the hell out in that situation
Ikr
I love the little growl she puts on "look." Rachel Tucker does the same and it's magical. Must be a British witch thing.
Kurgosh1 Alice Fearn did it too! It has to be a West End thing haha
Yea Alexia Khadime had a fantastic growly "look" also.
Must be the adrenaline
Brit witches love to growl lol😂
I love that the accident happened and she was scared, but then after it got sorted, she brought the house down
Her tempo was alll over the place though, but i'd be too if i was shaken tf up like that l

This was my first ever visit to Wicked, I remember my Mum waiting about five minutes and then going ‘was that supposed to happen?’ 😂
Did you all like the no fly better
David Nunley dnun01 not really because it took a lot away from the song, but she sounded amazing
were you able to see what exactly happened?
Jennifer Williams yeah what did it look like
wickedmermaid it was totally dark so you couldn’t see but from wha to understand she wasn’t secure in the lift when it started rising
0:23 well we got a karaoke version there for a second...
Diane: “KELPHIE!?”
Wow, you can hear the absolute terror in her voice for falling into the orchestra pit. My god and she also did it again. Kudos to her
I don't think she fell into the pit.
She didn't fall in the pit.
This shows what a true performer she is
Her skirt got caught in the lift and she wasn’t secure so when the lift started to go up she wasn’t strapped in
@Tucker,Fearn and Bentley’s Angel Forever hey do you like Kerry Ellis as Elphaba?
@Tucker,Fearn and Bentley’s Angel Forever I love your comments so much
Tucker,Fearn and Bentley’s Angel Forever she may not be ur “favorite” actress but wishing that she could have severely injured her self or possibly could have died is messed up, i don’t care if it is ur opinion or the blunt truth.
Tucker,Fearn and Bentley’s Angel Forever idc if it’s the truth, it is still extremely messed up to wish a life altering injury to someone.

and then she went on to do the most amazing dg ending i’ve ever heard
Sounds like Diane shouts “Kerry” when the Glinda shouts “elphie” it’s not as screamed like that
I think that's exactly what happened
Theatre Fan! :18
I think she did cause she was so worried.
One Person in the audience was German and she said „where are they all going?“

Omg I just love that it's MEEEEE it sound so beautiful even with that part of fear, sounds so rock!
Bless her you could hear her fear 😔😔
i was so frightened even listening to it🙈 wooowww kerry💚💚
*Kerrelphie!*
Lol Diane.
She's the Elphaba I saw and I've heard others perform this and Kerry is still my favourite. ❤
i almost got a heart attack from reading the comments
Her dress didn’t get stuck. She just thought the lift was moving the wrong way and didn’t feel safe.
Okay but still a powerhouse
Still Incredible!!! Xx
the orchestra was like hmm...
Disclaimer; I do not own this audio
Subscribe if you want me to post full length musical such as poto and wicked
when you hear an actress screaming for another actress by name, yk something's seriously wrong
At least the orchestra played on still...the show must go on. Ugh that sounded so scary. Did Kerry still go on after?
Yes, I think so
Can someone tell me what’s happening in this please
her dress got caught on the machine that lifts her in the air
FYI gang: There is no video here, only audio.
Use your imagination I guess.
Was at one of these Matinees in 2007 where exactly this happened and they re choreographed it on the ground
This happened in late March 2008 I guess. Also, instead of flying, they did the no fly choreography which usually happens when the lift isn't working.
OK so watching another piece if she is not secure the crane won't move... So no one. Will actually know apart from the cast..
my teacher was at this performance
Its the growl for me
Is there a video for this? Let me know, thanks!😊
I think Kerry Ellis is the best wicked witch out of all of them.
She was my elphie
So did they do a no-fly when they fixed the problem?
Yes. No one could blame Kerry for not getting back in the lift after the accident
This is fucking iconic
00:16
0:17 AHHHH GET OFF STOP STOP
But my God did she belt it!!!

what happened to Kerry Ellis
I'm a bit late, but she wasn't fully secured in the machine that is supposed to lift her when it started going up. then she screamed STOP and got saved
0:18 ur welcome
It must have been the strap on her book bag that caught
What is it that they say at 1:02?

What happened?
Devoted Cetacean her skirt got stuck on the machine that is gonna lift her to the air or something like that, and she started flying without safety, and she could have fallen
What happened
Nasir Roper when she was trying to get strapped in her real skirt got stuck in the belt thing and she started going up without any safety.
Danny H did this end up being a no fly or did she properly get into the lift
Nasir Roper I don’t exactly know but I think she might have been able to go back up. Because it was just because of her actual skirt getting stuck. So she miiiight have been able to go back up. I am not for sure tho.
After they got her down they reset and it was a no fly
What actually happened?
The dress got tangled in the elevator and fell, but Glinda caught it.
@@xhkxcthe comment that said that was literally satire. The lift was about to start going up but she didn’t feel safe in it so she yelled stop.
Uhh what happen
Her dress got stuck in the lift and it started going up without her being secure in it. Knowing she already has had a fear of heights.
Did someone hear the actor going what the f is this?
I think that’s Kerry saying “I’m stuck in the lift” to a crew member. She sounds so shaken and teary bless her.
@@itsactor24601 timestamp?
@@verityjude2269 0:36
Listening with headphones makes it a bit clearer
her dress got caught in the lift and when it started to go up she fell out of the lift and was literally hanging from her dress 100 feet in the air then the dress ripped and she fell but Dianne Pilkington caught her
Halsey R wait where did you hear that? From what I’ve heard she wasn’t strapped in properly and she panicked that she would get injured. i didn’t read anything about her falling but i could be wrong.
wtf !That made me laugh hard!!!
she didn’t fall Or fly 100 feet in the air. She just wasn’t strapped in right.
The lift doesn't even go higher than 20 some feet
You can't fall 100 ft and not be injured. No matter who catches you lol. She was just not in properly.
When you’re clumsy but still want to keep your job...
Dude it's the theaters fault
Don't mock performers please. She wasn't clumsy accidents happen all the time in theater it's part of the job. Your comment is quite rude and disturbing. She's incredibly talented otherwise she wouldn't have been cast in the first place. Please be respectful.
@@DanaiThomopoulou It’s a little something esoteric called a “joke”.
@@piecesofme8531 jokes are supposed to be funny babe😐👆🏻
@@DanaiThomopoulou Get a sense of humor babe (ba dumbum).
But my God did she belt it!!!
What happened?
Her dress got caught in the mechanism that has her lifted into the air, so she wasn't strapped in as it started to take off.
