BACKSTAGE AT WICKED NEW YORK CITY!!!

[@DevonNicole2]

I just saw the show in San Francisco and Alli and Marcie were performing, and during "Popular" right when Glinda is going to change Elphaba's frock into a ballgown Alli started laughing uncontrollably and had to walk off stage for a couple minutes. It was hilarious because then Marcie was crouched on the ground laughing too. It was probably my favorite part of the show besides Marcie's performance of "Defying Gravity", which gave me chills. Absolutely fantastic.

[@snekums]

How exciting! Thanks for posting this and am extremely jealous that you got to do this. Hope your holidays are still going well and look forward to the next video instalment.

[@tomobigfeller]

Wow thanks Megan for this amazing video! I saw Alli and Marcie in January and they were so amazing! Can't wait to chack out Lucy and Amanda - I'm going to see them near Easter. Wish I had as many contacts as you!

[@jewelchic]

Lucky you seeing it that many times in NYC!!! It was awesome to be allowed backstage- it's cool to be able to show you the true personalities of the girls...they were awesome xxx

[@Self-LoveDiet]

That was amazing, Megan!! Thanks for taking us all backstage with you. Don't you just Love NY. We were there in the spring and saw a few shows. Our favourite was "Curtains" which starred David Hyde Pierce from Frasier. He won a Tony for Lead Actor for his performance in that role. Hugs, - Sue

[@victorials15]

omg thank you for having a interview with marcie dodd she is awsome and no one else seems to have it thank you thank you thank you

[@kensington25]

Yes I saw it on another visit to London back in October this year. Loved the song Popular. That was my fave bit. I hope you get a chance to see it in London. If you are in New York and get a chance see the Broadway version of Xanadu. I loved it :) Priscilla is coming to London in March and is set to be a big hit.

[@kristenlusby22]

I saw Marcie Dodd in the tour! She was great! I love how they have a mural. This video was awesome, great job!

[@orangepeas]

Wow, what a great video! You have had some wonderful experiences, you're so lucky! I think you should come back to England and do a backstage London Wicked video, add to the series!!

[@jewelchic]

We have an AMAAAAAZING cast here in Australia, but i do LOVE seeing different people's interpretations of the roles now-keeps it new and interesting!!! The tour was awesome!!! Zoe likes different people for different parts as i suppose i do too...but ALL are excellent xxxxx

[@theatresofty]

Happy new year! Thankyou! do you plan on doin anything else with phantom?

[@mazaindafale]

OH MY GOD YOU'RE SO LUCKY!!!! Firstly, just to see it on B-Way.. but to meet the cast... what a dream come true!

[@kensington25]

Brilliant video. I walked past the theatre in London where Wicked was on earlier this evening :)

[@jewelchic]

Janine-how AMAZING was that??? We had such a GREAT day doing all that-such a thrill to meet the NY Wicked Witches!!! Hope your Xmas was great and Happy New Year 2009-love Megan xxxxxxxxx

[@kfras]

Her version of popular has been my favorite so far! I love Kristin in everything she does, but Alli's performance was simply amazing. Sooo funny she is.

[@gotgrammar45]

[@jewelchic]

[@NobodyInAllofOZ1]

[@Valimulic]

Megan thank you so much to bring all of us closer to our Beloved wicked!!

[@theatresofty]

lol this wat right here wat you're able to do is a gift from baby jesis! with a big bow on top! thankyou for sharing your vids! do you have any vids of you at phantom? wicked and phantom are my all tim favorite musicals!

[@ProudSpeakerofWhale]

Hahaha I love the look Marcie has on her face when she goes "What are you doing..??"

[@margretteleigh]

I love wicked! I've seen it three times and so happy it's coming to sydney. Hey, you're incerdibly luck to be able to do these things with wicked and the cast, i'm extremely jealous. If you don't mind me asking. how is you do get to do this? Do you know the cast personally or...?

[@jewelchic]

Yes-she is great, but i do LOVE seeing how different people portray Glinda in their own way. Some do the dumb blond, some do the rich girl thing- all really fun to see xxxxxx

[@jewelchic]

I started doing the videos in Australia before the show opened and i guess i built a trust with them. It's been a fabulous experience to be allowed to do it xxxxxx

[@luucy29]

i seen them on broadwaay on the 29th december last year- it was amazing! ive seen it 3 times in london since. Wicked is the best show eveeer!

[@loudip6493]

you are so lucky to go back stage! Ive seen te show 7 times in NY and I've been dying to go backstage. I jsut saw Marcie and Alli on Xmas Eve. At stagedoor Marcie was telling me on how she was rushing to catch her flight! We just missed each other

[@LoveLushLife]

Is this at the Gershwin?!?

[@shakyteach]

Great video. I'm so jealous! It was great meeting you there!

[@jewelchic]

Thanks Andie-Happy New Year to you too xxxxxxxx

[@jewelchic]

@iTouchSinger Thanks-it was arranged prior as I had done the Australian videos xxx

[@jewelchic]

Robert -it was so AWESOME- so glad you loved it too xxxxxx

[@kfras]

I just saw Wicked on Saturday night and Alli Mauzey was amazingggg!! LOVED her!

[@clazza11]

Have you seen it in london yet ?

[@jewelchic]

Oh-that's great!!!!!! They are completely different casts...it's really interesting to see different interpretations x

[@taraghb]

I'm still very impressed at how you get all these backstage invitations. Excellent

[@gandriollo]

They are so much fun!! thanks for sharing!

[@jewelchic]

Marcie was great as Elphie!!! It is really awesome to see it with a different cast as there are slightly different interpretations with each actor...makes it fun...some things you like in one show and some things in another... I will definitely let you know if i do this in the UK. Have you seen any new shows yet??? I saw Shrek was in in the US, but wasn't sure if it would be good or not........

[@sy3141]

Fantastic Megan. The mural was my favourite part!

[@musicalfool]

i think that whatever show moves in after wicked they will still keep the mural (theater people are awesome like that)

[@JesieRocetesTv]

hopefully the show will still be there after i graduate high school and have a chance to audition

[@jewelchic]

I started doing the videos in Australia-I have done this sort of thing for a while-one thing leads to the next and a trust is established!!! Thanks for watching xxx

[@ProudSpeakerofWhale]

............they are so amazing......I'm star-struck just watching this on KZbin, so I'd probably faint if I ever met the Glinda and Elphaba actresses in real life.

[@jewelchic]

Thanks Julie- i have some more videos of Wicked coming ......

[@jewelchic]

Ooooh-would love to see it in the UK!!!! Do they do the US accent there??? xxx

[@jewelchic]

Hard-but not impossible!!! How much longer is it there for??? xxx

[@jewelchic]

William-have you seen it there??? I would love to see the UK one too!!! xxxxxx

[@ithinkmynameismoo5e]

It must be so much fun to meet all these people! How have you built up the trust to go backstage?

[@PrincePeterofPomona]

That was a great AWEsome Wicked backstage interview! And if you can, please do me a favor and.... "Give my regards to Broadway, Remember me to Herald Square! And tell all the gang at Forty Second Street, That I will soon be there! Whisper of how I'm yearning to mingle with the old time throng, Give my regards to old Broadway, And say that I'll be there e'er long!" Thanks so much, Megan! xxxxx

[@icuteffu]

OMG Wicked is such a great play in melbourne when they have the breaks they sell an alcholic beverage that looks like a slurpee but it's spiked and the next chapter of wicked is the son of the witch

[@Fiyero823]

hehehe Any news on booking your tickets yet? What site do you normally use? :D

[@jewelchic]

Just rereading some comments-so there you are -it IS coming to Sydney!!!...and of course has been in the UK for some time xxx

[@jewelchic]

Yes-absolutely...check in the next few days-i have just been in NYC again!!! AWESOME xxx

[@sevonine]

I want to meet jewelchic cause she gets to meet everybody. How do you do it???? Teach meeeeee.

[@jewelchic]

There is one backstage with Alex Rathgeber from the UK Phantom

[@iheartwicked91]

sooo not fair =[ i will NEVER get to go backstage =[ its always been a dream oh well. thanks for posting it was nice to watch! =]....maybe one day i can do some of that painting.

[@MattSlusherArt]

I was talking about a banner on your video page not the channel page, but you can shrink that and use it there too.

[@jewelchic]

Really hoping to get there this year-have you??? x

[@jewelchic]

Having a great time-thanks-the backstage thing was an awesome experience!!! xxx

[@jewelchic]

i have listened to it a million times and can't work it out either!!! LOL x

[@jewelchic]

Well i adore NYC and LOVED Wicked...but each to their own...hope you have seen Wicked-it's a great experience xxx

[@jewelchic]

Kind of-they were closing that week and backstage was chaotic but i met them at the Stage Door for a chat......and then i met some more of them at the Oprah show!!!!!!

[@jewelchic]

The mural was so much fun!!! x

[@jewelchic]

Yeah-it was AMAZING to be able to do that!!! Thanks xxx

[@jewelchic]

@d0ggylover21 Thanks for watching!!! Would have sent u a message o your page but couldnt!!! xxxxxxxx

[@jewelchic]

Going backstage just evolved-i had permission before it began as i had done a bit of this sort of thing before and then NYC allowed me to because they knew they could trust me from what i had done here. I do know a lot of the Australian cast now, but it is only because of You Tube xxx

[@jewelchic]

I was pretty excited about the NYC one especially!!! xxxxxx

[@jewelchic]

Thanks-more coming this week xxxxxxxx

[@jewelchic]

Of course i remember!!!!! How are you? Thanks for your lovely message-Zoe and i may go to Wicked again in the school holidays!!!!!! xxx

[@jewelchic]

She was lovely- i am seeing Wicked for the 10th time TODAY!!!!!!!! xxxxxxxx

[@christinedaae101]

Ditto on the emotion for many. I once saw a video of Shoshana Bean's NGD-she was singing on the anniversary of her real boyfriend's death. Her 'Fiyero!' was so emotional.

[@wickedlyblonde1]

WAAAH!! Isn't it a good idea that-- even just a day -- the actors playing elphie and Glinda switch roles? Like, how could they sing one another's song? HAHA! I dreamed of that long ago! I hope it happens!

[@MarcieDoddFan]

Marcie is so adorable! Miss her like crazy!

[@jewelchic]

No-but it has just come to Australia so i will be checking it out. I have heard great things......xxx

[@jewelchic]

That's awesome!!! Doesn't she have an incredible voice??? And i love her version of Popular!!! LOL!!! xxxxxx

[@jewelchic]

Ooooh-can you sing??? I would LOVE to be able to do that!!! We had a super good time-wait til you see the next video with Idina's Elphaba hat!!! xxxxxxxxx

[@jewelchic]

Thanks Mark-i can't WAIT to see it again xxxxxxx

[@jewelchic]

There is a YT video where they do that-it is called Meg an' Sho Show-Wicked Swap Part one xxx

[@TheEvilsquiril]

marcie is one of the cutest people ive ever seen, bless :')

[@jewelchic]

Hey you!!! Make sure you let me know when you are in Oz... did you LOVE the show...and did you cry like i said you would??? xxxxxxxx

[@jewelchic]

KATY!!!! I always love hearing from you- it was SOOOOOO much fun!!! Happy 2009 xxx

[@jewelchic]

Heidi!!! Wasn't that fun??? I was so excited to be allowed to do that!!! xxxxxxxxxx

[@jewelchic]

HA!!! Thanks-it was AWESOME-did you go in Melb yet??? Can't remember what date you told me xxxxxxx

[@shiningstar7002]

[@jewelchic]

No-never met Idina-but she was the first Elphaba I saw!!! AMAZING!!!!! xxx

[@kensington25]

Hopefully it will come to Sydney and London :)

[@jewelchic]

Have been doing it for a while and built a trust up with Wicked. I am really lucky and love that i can share it with you all on You Tube-thanks xxxxxxxxxx

[@HappyIsWhatHappens]

[@Fiyero823]

Megan guess what?! I'm going backstage! Finally! YAY! (I was too impatient to be old enough to audition, so I e-mailed a cast member! YAY!)

[@jewelchic]

Thanks Matt-that's very sweet of you-i do currently have a banner i quite like, but will keep that in mind xxxxxxxx

[@WildFlameGame]

I'm so jealous that you got to meet Alli. ;-;

[@jewelchic]

[@jewelchic]

I wonder what she is in currently

[@talenttrapp]

[@gluebottlehorses]

Gahh. You're so luckyy. I was dragged away from TPAC before I could even /ask/ to go to the stage door. D: I'm trying to talk my mom into going into Louisville. XD Heheh. I luff marcieeeee.

[@2blondebesties]

My two favorite actors!!!!!

[@jewelchic]

[@jewelchic]

Not sure what is happening over there-but they seem to change a bit in the USA xxx
