[@MABACTS]

RACHEL TUCKER & BEN PLATT IN ONE EPISODE. I'M LIVING!

[@verawilliams1208]

that's actually his brother Jonah Platt.

[@Crusader050]

...with Ben Platt at the end.

[@Yahiko25]

Well both Jonah and Ben are the sons of Wicked producer Marc Platt.

[@mariadagostino2863]

When Rachel took the brush and helped him I was laughing 😂 I don't know why

[@SlowxParentsCrossing]

I feel like Craig and Rachel were about to have an aneurism during the greening process 😂 they were both so stressed about it

[@margscarpone]

I love how excited Ben throughout the entire ending.

[@verawilliams1208]

it's Jonah Platt. you mean the guy at the end?

[@disneydanny2]

At This Performance, the role of Fiyero will be played by Craig Jessup. seems only fair since Jonah did Craig's work.

[@shanechandler9589]

+Danny Eyheralde tru

[@isabelladippel9649]

I'd pay to see that

[@cadej95]

This whole process of Jonah and Craig feverishly slapping green all over Rachel while she sitting there doing warm up scales had me rollingggg! Love this series! Sad to see it go! :(

[@ahluvdrums]

+cadej95 I know! It was so cute that they let Jonah do that!! :)

[@allisonthecat]

Rachel Tucker is one brave women for letting Jonah Platt do her makeup lol. I loved all the one liners it was really fun to watch you can tell as fellow actors they adore each other. It was very adorable and sweet to see.

[@ahluvdrums]

+Allison Burke I know, I thought they were just going to let him 'help', I can't believe they actually let him do the whole thing!!

[@tylirb]

BEN PLATT I HAD A SPIT TAKE HE'S SUCH A CUTE TEDDY BEAR

[@Kelsiness2]

IKKKKKK

[@joanneminassian9463]

Tyler Maxwell I

[@alysonkb8379]

Rachel doing the Irish proud for 8 shows a week! 💕 She is just so funny and honest and you know it's not an act with her she is genuine

[@candysyco53]

Did anyone else notice Ben at the end of the vlog!

[@silviamayo2993]

Idk if it's just the hair, but Jonah Platt kinda looks like Matthew Morrison lol

[@venus8824]

+Silvia Mayo I kinda thought that too when I first saw him...

[@Max-my6rk]

+Silvia Mayo Imagine Matthew Morrison doing Fiyero and Lea Michele doing Elphaba...

[@silviamayo2993]

+Maksim Li I feel like he might be too old for that...idk it would be really weird to see Rachel and Mr. Shue sing As Long As You're Mine lol

[@Max-my6rk]

Silvia Mayo haha they actually dated each other for a period of time...

[@peace4111]

After Fiyero Time, we need a Rachel vlog!!

[@bigbirdsmallnest8000]

YUPPP

[@hannahc2632]

Yes times infinity!!

[@baileybieganek2446]

Hardcore!!!!!!!!!!

[@molliemoore2058]

Nicole Erin they did an elpheba vlogs a few years back called fly girl

[@ber2704]

Nicole Erin this can't happen unfortunately, but a Rachel vlog would be different than a Lindsay one :)

[@VoxelKing]

I saw Rachel and Jonah in Wicked this past week! They were amazing, obviously! The show was spectacular, and seeing it was like a dream come true. The two of them, along with Carrie St. Louis who is currently on as Glinda, were wonderful to meet at the stage door after the show too! They're just so great to their fans, it's lovely :) I hope I can meet them again some day!

[@stephenvalentinemusi]

The shade from Craig was lethal.

[@chakamakahoney021]

if Jonah would grrenify me, I would totes do that too. ahahahaha

[@madisonkennedy5908]

Lol so true

[@PauloRezendeBordados]

please make mooooore episodes! I'm already sad that it is ending

[@tinselbmerryweather]

I was sad week 4, it goes SO quick.

[@doerayme28]

Rachel is such a good Elphie /Elphaba love her so much

[@morgancloutier3320]

I just met him last week. Such a nice guy. So approachable and it's such a small world that his mom is actually from where I am from! Love this guy!

[@ILoveManCity.]

NOOOOOOOOOO WE WANT MORE!! Fiyero Time. This is the Best Vlog on Broadway. keep doing it.

[@sammyytaccount5515]

[@Awuud]

Sammy Giordano YES! I was searching for someone who saw it! Loooove DEH, and Ben and Noah

[@eloisesmith5157]

[@savannaherickson6895]

Ben platt looks so cute and innocent in the last frame my heart

[@sarahmancuso224]

[@emilybrace5905]

Please keep these vlogs!! I stumbled across these by chance and it's my favourite Broadway.com vlog series yet!! I will be gutted when they end

[@nicolelittle9938]

Omg she's like Zelena from once upon a time London accents love this!!!!!!

[@musicatheatrefan]

I can totally see Zelena and Rachel Tucker's Elphaba being twin sisters. The actresses even look alike so that would work.

[@iAmMadeOfSoup]

Their chemistry is amazing

[@audreykorba7660]

his little “hi” at 6:29 makes me wanna cry its so cute

[@ethannielson942]

Jonah, I’m glad Rachel mentioned Doris Day, Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand, who would have been a great Elphaba. In looking to our future we must recognize the great talents of the past. It was nice seeing your brother in the final scene. God bless, Ethan

[@rachelriddell1774]

Ben platt making an appearance for the ending made me smile

[@MelphabasWorld]

[@brunoalves694]

Please, in the final episode send a message to all the brazilian cast of WICKED who will perform on Brazil starting in March. I loved to see the backstage, it's interesting to know how a musical works. A enormous hug and wishes of success from São Paulo, Brazil. #fiyerotime #wicked

[@JaredLMontgomery]

Did anyone also notice that Noah Galvin who is Kenny on "The Real O'Neals" was at the end? That's pretty cool!

[@Isaac-3]

[@leahmoore6820]

[@johnpaulporrelli6208]

All the times I watch these and see new leading elphabas or glindas I keep wondering how the standbys or understudy’s feel when the new ones come in. Do they not apply to get the main gig. It’s interesting

[@graceyanlam]

True that

[@hunter8749]

100%!!!!

[@chloe-jb4nm]

So true! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.

[@thatdudescool4091]

OMG YESSS!! I would love to meet her!

[@zalua]

Almost everyone is better than Idina. Rachel is amazing, but I have to say that Willemijn Verkaik is my fave

[@kingikiller]

Ben platt and Noah Galvin at the end

[@beggers5]

Jonah and Ben Platt are brothers and I think they are two of five kids from a musical family. There father is a Broadway and film producer. There father was one of the producers of La La Land
