WHEN AMANDA SAID WHATEVA WHATEVA OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG I DIED OF SHOOKETHNESS

[@ZoraTheberge]

This whole episode is just “we’re getting ready to rehearse for something special on NBC. I can’t tell you about it, but tune in October 29th at 10pm”

[@ari_mz]

Although the thing is for me, I already know what it is cause Im watching this like a year and a half later. So it got annoying cause I know what it is

[@Louis_Adams]

What was it?

[@yee-raplantar-maximoff4318]

Even I don't know what it is and I'm watching this in December 2021

[@vstahl45]

I believe it was the 15th anniversary special they aired. Idina and Kristen sang For Good and Ariana Grande sang the Wizard and I

[@aceofgracex]

I actually had no idea that Wicked is performed on a raked stage

[@madisonphillips2431]

whats a raked stage

[@jacobbradley9991]

Madison Phillips the stage is on an incline so it’s higher in the back then in the front

[@madisonphillips2431]

Jacob Bradley thank you

Never let her go, she is one of the most amazing people you will ever meet! I love and miss her sometimes💚💚 I encouraged her to reprise the role. It will be two years since I saw her live on November fith. You have no idea how lucky you are.

Is Ryan in the ensemble for the whole opening like other Fiyeros or does he just go on to turn the bed?

Most fiyeros just turn the bed

[@damianriverol3009]

@@thequeenofsnakes5225 is that in America as in the UK they're on from beginning of the show, through No one Mourns the Wicked to the end of the song

[@thequeenofsnakes5225]

@@damianriverol3009 I'm talking about the American shows

[@damianriverol3009]

@@thequeenofsnakes5225 ah ok maybe they do it different in the UK. Thanks for letting me know though as it's interesting to see the differences. They use Fiyero and I'm sure Nessa and maybe Dr Dillamond to fill out the ensemble at the beginning in the UK. Always intrigues me how they do shows differently in different countries

[@jhelisacarroll]

Damian Riverol if you watch Jonah Platt’s Fiyero Time vlogs, I think he’s in the whole opening scene! Not sure but he does explain it!!
