[@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]

[@peanut7920]

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

[@cuzwhynot253]

I screamed same thoo

[@leahnock4271]

Oz blogs Fly girl FieroTime Call me madame ThinkPink And now this!! Wow 160 likes!!

[@Lil_gremlin_]

You’re a Liar you said wow 160 likes But if I like The comment then you have exactly 160 likes so I’m not going to like your comment and no one else should

[@Lil_gremlin_]

Leah Nock seriously why I know you’re a child but did you know there such a thing as editing I’m sure you know because your thing is edited

[@waterbottle1067]

@@Lil_gremlin_ this comment was from a year ago

[@waterbottle1067]

you forgot oz vlogz

[@Lil_gremlin_]

seriously though She was lying when I posted that reply

[@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

[@isthatjackson]

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

[@maeve8029]

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

[@MitchellBasham]

Maeve you mean some MORE lol

[@Dune007sardukar]

Who are you telling.... This is medicine

[@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!

[@jessm8734]

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

[@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.

[@Annesglitter]

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

[@DoneyDTV]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@BKPlayzYT]

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

[@TheLoverbug567]

RYAN MCCARTAN!!!!! Anyone else get Heather's flashbacks?

[@kkaitlinten]

Sammi Kornecki OMG HES IN WICKED?!

[@Taylor_SJ2]

Sammi Kornecki YESSSS

[@thinmints4life]

SEVENTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

[@mizzyahyah5080]

Yessss

[@howdyhofolks]

PERIODTTTT

[@lucasgonzalez6346]

never stop showing wicked content on broadwaycom.

[@jaelynn6087]

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

[@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!

[@leliaprime]

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

[@avahoffman6827]

I literally screamed when I saw Katie Ladner lol

[@whosfelicia5328]

i'm not complaining but isn't this the 5th wicked vlogger

[@bear-ln2jv]

I think it's the 6th. Andy Karl, Lindsey Mendez, Kara Lindsey, Jonah Platt, Sheryl Lee Ralph, and now Amanda.

[@carlsmith1756]

WHOS FELICIA yeah it is

[@MarcusMartn]

WHOS FELICIA yes and I love it

[@isthatjackson]

Yes and we’re happy about ut

[@celenaho1872]

right?!

[@taylorwise7006]

first off... gosh i love Amanda Jane Cooper !! Secondly, I LOVE hearing Lauren Daigle’s new album in the background!! 💋

[@poppyameiIa]

MY BODY IS READY FOR AMANDA N’ JESSICA CONTENT !

[@rebeccah2662]

Amanda is so cute! Kind of random but her hair is so lovely! This series is going to be great

[@kennapersonal]

I love how Amanda is so energetic

[@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.

[@PauloRezendeBordados]

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

[@emanuellancecruz3028]

This is the cutest intro ever!!!

[@laceyspace9465]

Amanda Jane Cooper is a very special blogger to me. I had the honor of seeing wicked at the fabulous fox theater in St. Louis. She played Glenda. She was fantastic!

[@RobinLillig1997]

Lacey Menzel I Saw Wicked At The Fabulous Fox Theater As Well

[@lilynielsen6437]

I am glind a in my school production, and I am COVERED in glitter.

[@laurenoberdorf6753]

I love that she full on gives us a Glinda makeup tutorial which would be such a Glinda thing to do

[@lydiaherring2853]

Yeesss!!! You’re listening to Lauren Daigle’s new album in the background!!!💖💖💖

[@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

[@foodie2525]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@addiesingleton4654]

OH MY GOSH THIS IS AMAZING I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A BROADWAY VLOG AND I FOUND ONE WITH MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE BROADWAY CHARACTER! also I found it so amazing that so many glindas have been Christian it’s so inspiring to me (Glinda is my dream role) ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ROLE MODELS

[@isabelladippel9649]

IT’S HERE! A SIXTH WICKED VLOG! YAAAAAAAAAY! also was anyone else straining to hear WWOTE when you knew it was on it’s so underrated YAY WICKED

[@kaitlynmariya2314]

[@Taylor_SJ2]

Kat’s Corner YESSSSSSS

[@RobinLillig1997]

Kat’s Corner I Did OMG

[@Austin_doodles]

[@mason_izzy670]

Can we just appreciate how she was playing Mamma Mia music in the back ground 💗

[@rose-yi4ez]

Love the Lauren Daigle music playing in the background at 5:09!

[@solenna_mack]

Oh my goodness!!! I have been looking for a Wicked backstage series, but I have never found one...until today!!! So excited!!! Love Wicked so much💕!!!

[@eloisesmith5157]

[@summerhollis1097]

[@xandanitrying2917]

Oh my gosh I love her so much she’s so bubbly and such a good vlogger

[@soapie1285]

She said hi Steven and my Siri opened because it thought I said hey siri

[@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.

[@camicakes2]

When you’re casually watching broadway.com and Stephen Carrasco, who graduated from your high school, magically appears

[@rocomedyisawesome]

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

[@briannajustiniano6632]
