OMG with "Boq" being my dream role, I'm already taking mental notes on what to do in the blocking if I ever get to join the cast!!! The scene "Boq" is in prior before that infamous Train Station scene (for those who may not know) is the 2nd classroom / Lion Cub scene where he and his classmates are places under the electrical shock spell by "Elphaba" as she and "Fiyero" rescue him from having his speech taken away. After "Boq" runs off screaming in panic stage right, you just hang by the stage manager's consul or work out on the steps in the corner next to the stage. Most importantly, be ready after NOT THAT GIRL. Thanks Alex for giving me that great DO and DON'T lesson for being "Boq"!!!

[@Niqhtmusic]

I see Alex and wicked, I click

[@lorellelane]

I'm freaking out just imagining this happening.

[@s.alt2388]

If I was on that stage I would’ve been dead

[@KLK1618]

Oh my god. I can’t imagine what the audience was thinking

[@teddybear_plays5398]

Alex is doing a online snack and chat and I’m going and I stg I’m so excited I’m gonna cry

[@pictureart2827]

Do you have to pay?

[@lydikiti]

Something simular happened to me in wizard of oz lmao. I was an apple tree for the tin man scenes and once that was over i was basically a set piece spooky tree in the background. (Note my costume is safety pinned to my underclothes which is a black teeshirt and leggings) i finish my tin man scenes on opening night, i go backstage and take my costume off and then i look up to an angry stage manager telling me to get back on stage, i find my costume shove it on my body and run onstage within two seconds of the lights coming up.

[@watchcloudspassmeby]

I can't even find this funny, it fully stressed me tf out 😭😂

[@lluvebony]

[@bouncyballblue]

I want to laugh but I can't because this is something I would totally do and just hearing it stresses me tf out...that said, I would pay a lot of money to see a video of this xD

[@jazziec]

[@jazziec]

[@bwaySHO]

It’s soooo funny! I had to give it the respect of a solo video. 👻

[@valdaubert5640]

I was at that show. I can't remember who the Elphaba was either but I was laughing so hard.
