[@r0cketi]

[@misslinguinni]

Rocket Isaac I go rewatch it whenever I’m feeling down in the dumps or uninspired and it always makes me feel better!

[@kimberlyirby1464]

YAS

[@orchishmamukherjee5250]

Me too!

[@brennens8849]

i literally just finished binging it before i found this 😂

[@melaniegarcia3158]

Me!!!!

[@isthatjackson]

1. Never stop these Wicked vlogs! 2. Can Jessica PLEASE get one?!

[@som4tang26]

We always see the Elphabas get ready, so its fun to see the Glinda makeup for once. Looking forward to the rest of this series!

[@maeve8029]

I needed some backstage at Wicked in my life!!!

[@MitchellBasham]

[@peanut7920]

"Ryan! Knock knock!" "Who's theeeeere?" GAVE ME JD FLASHBACKS I HAVE PTSD FROM HEATHERS

[@cuzwhynot253]

I screamed same thoo

[@rosiegiesler4705]

OMG She literally so much like Glinda and I know thats Obvious as she plays her but I’ve never seen anyone other than Kristen more like Glinda and maybe UK Sophie Evans

[@samuelbrown112]

This was FABULOUS! Amanda is precious like a combination of Kristin Chenoweth, Annaleigh Ashford and Megan Hilty. Such a great start to the vlog

[@bexyPTX]

It’s cool that they’re doing this for the fifteenth anniversary. I just love that Ryan McCartan is in this show right now, and that he’s already formed a great relationship with his cast mates.

[@scotwharton]

Amanda Jane Cooper was my first Glinda and you never forget your first Glinda! LOVE HER!

[@meghibbitts5037]

She was my 4th Glinda, an excellent Glinda. Saw her in 2016 on tour

[@scotwharton]

Meg Hibbitts....we saw her on tour also!

[@lowkeytwice4409]

we needed one for Mary Kate and Ginna Claire but I still love Amanda a lot

[@regancole1833]

musical shit Mary Kate and Ginna Claire are leaving the tour. Also Broadway.com doesn’t normally do tours. Also I love MK and GC so I’m not hating on them haha

[@madelynnewsom5780]

PLEASE THATS WHO I SAW!!!

[@nicholew13]

Agreed fans and MK and GC themselves wanted one. Now it’s too late

[@ozzycameron2429]

GC is on broadway now so she might do one. If she did I wouldn't be surprised if Mary Kate was on it cause they are so close.

[@Niqhtmusic]

lowkey twice me too!! I saw Ginna a month ago on bway, and I.NEED.MORE.OF.HER.

[@morganm7949]

I'm loving Amanda but I'm still over here missing Katie Rose :( Fly Girl was far and away the best of these series, I'm so excited to see more Wicked vlogs.

[@j.j.225]

I’m sure you already know that Katie Rose Clarke is back and better than ever!! I just saw her in mid December and she was incredible

[@jessm8734]

LAUREN DAIGLE in the background!!!!! Awesome!!!!!

[@jaelynn6087]

so this may be the 6th vlog wicked vlog, but i neeeeeeded this vlog series because the cast rn is stellar!!! and the 15th anniversary is coming up so this is perfectly timed!! i’d love to see more technical backstage elements, but i’d also love to see all of the off stage antics jessica, ryan, and amanda get into!

[@poppyameiIa]

MY BODY IS READY FOR AMANDA N’ JESSICA CONTENT !

[@jaelynn6087]

can we please appreciate 12:15-12:20 what a pure and tiny child

[@lucasgonzalez6346]

never stop showing wicked content on broadwaycom.

[@DoneyDTV]

if possible can we see the quick change before Dear Old Shiz...I imagine that shiz to be cray cray!!!

[@BKPlayzYT]

I love how she jokingly says Tracey likes the camera and Tracey is just like “oml stop lol”

[@leliaprime]

I'm loving the mini heathers reunion - Ryan McCarten and Katie Ladner lmao yay

[@ryanjskelley]

[@briannajustiniano6632]

I saw her in the show, it was AMAZING!!! Great job!!

[@eloisesmith5157]

LOVE Kara's gift and the little bit of trivia at the end. And Amanda is such a sweet person.

[@indiaklein1430]

I've watched this 20 times and it never gets old!!

[@heatherrockwell9012]

Yay! I have to admit, the reason I'm most excited for this is because I was disappointed I saw the show right before Ryan went on, so I'm glad this series has the current cast including him.

[@makenajackson5765]

IM SO HAPPY THEY’RE BRINGING BACK THE WICKED SERIES’

[@tyler.weaver]

NOW ALL WE NEED IS JESSICA.

[@judi7238]

Tyler Weaver I saw Jessica on the tour she was so amazing her Defying Gravity killed me it was great

[@samoneisdancing]

I hope they also give jess a vlog some time soon!!

[@marierosetj]

SERIOUSLY THOUGH!!!!

[@verityjude2269]

YES

[@aidantrojan3710]

I think it’s so awesome that she does her own makeup, and because it’s theatre makeup it doesn’t have to be perfect because you’re so far away yet it looks beautiful! I wish I could do eyeliner that great in one quick swipe lmao.

[@foodie2525]

AHHHH I LOVE AMANDA JANE COOPER I SAW HER IN MARCH AND SHE WAS AMAZING

[@PauloRezendeBordados]

I haven't even watched the video yet and my wig is already defying gravity, thanks for this!!!!

[@shelbyresz0165]

[@rubyrose3602]

YAAAAAAY I'M SOOOOOO EXITED FOR THE EPISODES TO COME 😍

[@MB0]

Omg when she said it was half hour to show time and wants dressed yet, I almost had a heart attack for her because it always freaks me out to not be fully dressed and ready for the show before the half hour mark. This is mostly because it just takes me soooooooo long to get ready for shows lol.

[@missrivka770]

AHHH I JUST FINISHED REWATCHING ALL THE OLD WICKED VLOGS AND THEN THIS APPEARS 🙌🙌🙌

[@rocomedyisawesome]

This is so cool! This was posted the same day I took my middle schools students to see the touring show.

[@isabellerosehayes1667]

[@Kurgosh1]

Either all of the Glindas are all always in character when they're doing vlogs/interviews, etc. or they're very, very Glinda-ey.
