My favorite part of the Elphaba sets off the fire alarm is the woman saying “oh no, not again.” This was one of multiple fire alarms during the first run of wicked in Appleton, WI.
@@freedomroses Sence it was the first few nights in appleton wicked uses alot of smoke and special effects which most likely triggered the fire alarm im pretty sure they fixed it by the next few shows
Probably cause by either 1. The system was just malfunctioning or 2. The excess amount of smoke set it off. Or possibly something technically was tripping the system
1:15 that wasn't the only mishap in that show. Earlier when the Phantom is taking Christine to the lair before the climax the boat stopped so the actors had to get up and walk on water, so to speak
That's usually a common well known error when it comes to performing Phantom of the Opera. When the boat stops before it's meant to the performers are always instructed to get out of the boat and walk the rest of the way.
Fun fact about the first clip! Later on in the scene, the army guy asks Idina for her number. She says, “Sorry. It’s a new phone. I don’t even know.” and runs off stage.
My favorite one is when Laura bell loses her shoe bc it just goes to show how amazing Laura bell is. She just keeps a straight face like nothing is wrong! I admire and love Laura Bell Bundy so much!!
Fire alarm goes off. Elphaba: its not me i have nothing to do with it. I'm not the one you want. I think its her. Iiitttsssss heeeeerrrrrrrr. Sorry i had to do this
So, with the fire alarm one, I'd just like to point out that they got a good halfway(ish) through the song before the announcer stop came on to tell everyone to leave for the alarm.
As Donna I had to fix Sophie's Hair when doing "Slipping through my fingers". One girl had really lots of hair, and the struggle was very much like Glinda placing the rose in Elphaba's hair 😂
@@WTKB82 its a mannequin for the wedding dress. He showed it to her at the end of music of the night and she wears it in the final lair. I screamed when I was the clip lmao.
Yes - yes they do. Especially if it’s a prop, set or costume fail that cannot be hidden or glossed over for the audience. Like the lack of a phone. There’s no way that could be hidden. Therefore the only possible reaction is to laugh with the audience or it becomes awkward for everyone. “Real pros” know when to adjust or when to acknowledge a fail.
1:40 OMG! This happened to me during a show! When I did Mary poppins, the fire alarm went off and we had to pause the show and we had people evacuate the building. Most embarrassing theater moments I have ever had.
Once I was watching Wicked and during Popular Elphaba’s glasses fell off. And another time Glinda dropped her History papers. And another time she took a tumble down the stairs. And once Elphaba’s dress got caught in the trapdoor. And another time the defying gravity lift wouldn’t go up. (I’ve seen Wicked 9 times)
favorites were a toss up between the new Iphone air and Galinda's spirited effort to wrestle Elphaba into the worlds most unsightly sexy pillow-fight .had she succeeded i suspect the stage would have set itself ablaze mid un-sexy pillow-fight now if we could have a moment of quiet for an imagined honorable stage gutted in its prime .
Methinks that phone bit in if/ten was kept in. the night I saw it in previews LaChanze had it in her purse and had to take it out and give it to Idina and they made an announcement over the loudspeaker I guess it happened again.
Galinda’s sheer determination to get that flower into her hair is admirable. lol
shows how good a comedy performer she is.. if it goes wrong, go with it and milk it :)
And that’s why I love Jennifer as Galinda!

i guess the staff didn't have to do much fire drills during that production then
Wait why did the fire alarm go off so many times?

@@DaPianoBoi yeah, it was still a newer facility, needed some tweaking for shows with this much fog/haze
The amount of love I have for the "pink goes good with green" clip is undescribable
Yeah and the audience applauding at that somehow makes me laugh more.
Should be titled prop struggle and costume comes on
1:02 I love how the demon dancer next to the coffee cup manages to sort of half dance all the right moves while also helping the other guy up. Lol
What musical is that
@@okami7751 book of mormon, song is spooky mormon hell dream
@@violinheart123 I want to see that musical so bad!
Demons may be well, demons, but they help their bros apparently haha
How come so many people in 2024 says this Book of Mormon sucks
the way elphaba ran off I CANT
THIS. THIS is why I love musicals so much, cause the characters feel REAL.
that's how I feel too!! sometimes in movies they feel too perfect!

well there is a song that goes 'I'll walk on water just to be with you' 😅
It was obviously a biblical metaphor planned by the director

SO IF YOU CARE TO FIND HER,
LOOK TO THE WESTERN SKYYYYYY
@@the-ma-an AS SOMEONE TOLD HER LATELY, EVERYONE DESERVES THE CHANCE TO FLY
THE WAY THE NO GOOD DEED ONE, SHE JUST CONTINUED
For anyone who ever doubted the strength of Elphaba’s powers, I give you 1:40. 😆
2:03 that was AWESOME. she just threw away the other heel like it was on purpose. Slayyy
So, with the fire alarm one, I'd just like to point out that they got a good halfway(ish) through the song before the announcer stop came on to tell everyone to leave for the alarm.
Fire alarm goes off
Elphaba: (runs off) I didn't do it! You saw nothing!
Lol

So the hair really was “slipping through your fingers.” Lol
The Idina Phone 💀
That’s why you always get your props
Exactly. Check your props.
There's a Phantom story where after the kiss, the prosthetic lip came off on to Christine. It happens. Live theatre.
Having never seen phantom... why is there a mannequin?
@@WTKB82 it’s a prosthetic
@@WTKB82 its a mannequin for the wedding dress. He showed it to her at the end of music of the night and she wears it in the final lair. I screamed when I was the clip lmao.
I never realized there was more to the "pink hair clip" clip. Most compilations just end after she places it on her shirt.
And that's the way it is with live theater.
I'm not mad Im actually impressed by how they kept going..ok I laughed at least a little lol
Real pros don't drop out of character when these things happen.
Yes - yes they do. Especially if it’s a prop, set or costume fail that cannot be hidden or glossed over for the audience. Like the lack of a phone. There’s no way that could be hidden.

Well, she was Fire during her performance.
2:15 absolutely golden
I knew someone who was working at the theater when the fire alarm went off during Wicked
1:40
OMG! This happened to me during a show! When I did Mary poppins, the fire alarm went off and we had to pause the show and we had people evacuate the building. Most embarrassing theater moments I have ever had.
Sat here crying over the coffee cup for way too long
Love how when things go wrong, yet they still try keeping cool and being funny
My dad saw a performance of Phantom where his entire WIG came off with the mask in the first unmasking scene.
Once I was watching Wicked and during Popular Elphaba’s glasses fell off. And another time Glinda dropped her History papers. And another time she took a tumble down the stairs. And once Elphaba’s dress got caught in the trapdoor. And another time the defying gravity lift wouldn’t go up. (I’ve seen Wicked 9 times)
I cant with the Phantom one
(The mannequin)
This made my day xx
These made me so happy
I'll never understand the whooping and screaming over something so tiny!

That falling coffee cup was probably so fired.
Haha! Stuff like that happens all the time in professional shows.
What would it be like if it had Musical It The Musical of Stephen King?
i imagine it would be similar to carrie. i'd watch it lol
The ending?! Lmao
Methinks that phone bit in if/ten was kept in. the night I saw it in previews LaChanze had it in her purse and had to take it out and give it to Idina and they made an announcement over the loudspeaker I guess it happened again.
how is it that i've watched the bootleg at 1:00 so many times and never noticed the coffee man falling
Idina didn't have to do that woman like that.
Who's playing Elphaba in these?
the fire alarm is either merideth clark or jackie burns (if it is jackie, i know it happened to merideth too) and the flower one is shoshana bean
Merideth Kaye Clark and Shoshana Bean
@@will6925 ohhh yeah i meant merideth not carmen!
💞💞
Is that. First one Phillipa soo?
Nope. Idina Menzel.

JESUS CHRIST IDINA, JUST DO OBJECT WORK
One of the problems with live theatre...people videoing the shows !
I kinda like it, but that's mainly because I live in Denmark and this is my only hope of getting to see some of these Broadway musicals
As someone living in the other side of the ocean and with very little money, bootlegs are a literal blessing for me
@@catmrib same
Boo hoo hoo
Bootlegs was a blessing for me when I saw Moulin Rouge because I was right about it when I saw it live.
