stephen schwartz told that the Brazilian non replica was the best he ever saw. Proud of this production, cast and Glinda/Elphaba actresses. Fabi and Myra are everything to me 🥺

Lol that’s also what he told the German non replica cast so idk if he’s that honest. 😅

Mickey this is huge. If international producers are reaching out to you don't be surprised if Broadway is next and you as a theatre critic truly become INTERNATIONAL. Flying all over to see shows.

The cake with chocolate on top you tried is a Brazilian carrot cake. That's why its orangey. Its made with rehular white flower, so when you add the carrots, the dough is a very light orange, almost yellow. And yeah, that's our winter for you, 20 something degrees Celsius, our summer on the other hand would be hell to most English people.

[@mariteramoto]

this was so fun to watch as a Brazilian from São Paulo! it is actually really hard to identify the "center" of the city, as it encompasses like 5 neighbourhoods haha

[@solitarychele]

What lovely wheelchair seats! We’re usually relegated to the back or the extreme sides of the house or both. The St. James has center orchestra, but under the mezz. The Palace also has center orchestra and not under the mezz.

This has to be my favorite video of yours to date. I’m so delighted by everything you showed us. The city looks great (so large and full of life); the Producers were so kind not only flying you there, but also making sure you had company to go out and have fun; the theater looks incredible; the production feels magnificent (the food and drinks, the merch, the set, the costumes, the cast, THE LOYALTY PROGRAM!!!). Everything about this was so lovely! 💚

That looked and I’m sure was absolutely amazing. However, it’s the energy, enthusiasm and honesty that you put in your videos that make them so watchable. It was all so interesting. One of your best videos to date, I feel, and I look forward to seeing the review.

I watched the show back in May. I had never seen Wicked and whenn my dad asked if i wanted to go i didnt hesitate. It's brilliant, i cried basically the whole second act. I'm glad you enjoyed a piece of our theatre culture here! Fun fact: shows all have limited runs here in Brazil. We do not have resident shows in theatres like in the west end or Broadway, because our theatres are used for concerts, plays, musicals, talks, stand-up, and so on. We are starting now to have a stronger following for musicals, maybe in a couple of years this will change. Lots of love.

[@MrMakeDo]

Also, if you ever don’t have an adapter in a foreign country, just ask reception, they often have a box of adapters left by other people.

[@acciobecks]

I am so glad you got to see this version! I saw the replica in 2016 three times and saw this version once. Gotta say though, when I went they didn't have any of those food options or the Glinda bubble, damn. Oh and also, not sure if you know this, but Teatro Renault is were the replica version was playing in 2016! And for anyone else that reads this: Elphaba and Glinda are real-life friends and were the "originals" of the replica, so this is also a contributing factor to so many people going to see this version.

[@liamourao5196]

I don't know why I was so emotional watching this video. Maybe because I am a huge fan of yours as well as a Brazilian expat in the UK. The Brazilian hospitality is always amazing, no matter what crisis the country is going through. And if you want to learn how to make cheese bread in the UK, I can teach you 😜

Dear Mickey, I am a Brazilian musical theatre fan, and I am obsessed with Wicked. I have also been watching your videos for a while now. When I saw the video title, my eyes went WIDE. I couldn't believe it! A KZbinr that I love going to see my favourite musical (which I saw live for the first time in this exact production, this very year) in my own country, in the city that I spent years of my life in. Watching you go around São Paulo felt surreal! I saw you walking past places I recognize (and you stumbling upon the Sé Cathedral was hilarious, tbh). Hearing you talk about trying to walk to all these different places had me laughing out loud, since I know how impossible that is. This video was such a comfy one. I felt happy watching it. But, most importantly, I teared up at your recording of the curtain call. Seeing the art in my country being recognized and spreading internationally like that made me feel weirdly proud and pulled at my heartstrings that were already quite beaten up by the fact that the Wicked run is over. Myra and Fabi are national treasures, and the entire cast worked so, so hard on making a beautiful show and putting their own Brazilian spin on it - special shoutout to Fabi's version of Popular and all the cultural references squeezed into that - that seeing it being recognized was just... beautiful. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on Wicked Brazil in your review, but I'm already so happy that you're bringing attention to theatre in São Paulo. Thank you, truly, for such a lovely video 🩷💚

[@sorenhellerup2834]

Absolutely wonderful to see you going to Sao Paulo, and loved your presentation of your trip. Actually today, is 3 years ago I moved out of Sao Paulo, having lived there for about 8 years, working with theater, film and TV productions. I happen to be friends with Carlos, Vinicius and Cleto Baccic, as we were starting on a project together. Fantastic to see their WICKED production. They are amazing people, and more than thrilled that you had this opportunity. I very much enjoy your reviews. Thank you Mickey Jo.

[@CP-mb3sn]

Very excited for the review! Defying Gravity looked phenomenal and the themed food and loyalty scheme seem great ways for getting people in to repeat performances

[@laviniademouralopessne]

I'm Brazilian and I simply love Wicked Brazil! unfortunately this year I couldn't go see the new version, I don't live close by (Brazil is a very large country) and other plans got in the way. But I am very happy to follow through your vlog, as I follow your channel for a long time.

[@callalily3994]

This looks amazing -- seems like you had a fantastic time. Thanks for showing us all of this! On the theatres with corporate sponsorship, there are a few Broadway theatres like that -- there's the American Airlines Theatre, and the one that's now the Lyric started out named for the Ford auto company. (The Playbills from those productions have the Ford logo instead of just the word "Ford" in the space for the theatre name. The first show there was Ragtime, so that kind of made sense.) It's also pretty common for regional theatres, though I think you more often see those named for wealthy local families who donated money. (One of my local theatres was just totally rebuilt, and they had to do a lot of fundraising for it, so now it's like you walk up the Smith Family Walkway to the Jones Family Door into the Roberts Family Foyer and get a drink at the Brown Family Bar and so on, before you even get into the actual theatre itself.)

[@viicristina]

As a brazilian i am SO excited for this! I’ve been watching your videos for years!

[@larissanitta4368]

I’m from São Paulo and the statue you’d showed at 31:02 it’s actually from Zelda! There are a bunch of those around some places, don’t know why! Oh, I’m really in love with your channel and I think we saw this production of Wicked in the same day or something like that! I saw it on July 22, at 15h00. Loved it and loved your experiences here in Brazil! Ibirapuera and Masp are good places to visit! But I have to say, you filmed in some dangerous places in São Paulo, as Catedral da Sé and Teatro Municipal 😂😂😂

[@ricardo9417]

33:53 lol this is a statue of the goddess Hylia from the The Legend of Zelda series. A group of fans of the game place several of them in the city, in antecipation of the last game released (Tears of the Kingdom). I'm glad you liked the pão de queijo hahaha it's a typical food from the state of Minas Gerais. Can't wait for the review!

Thanks for visiting Brasil. I hope you enjoyed not only our theatrical scene but also our hospitality. We’ve been investing and growing the number of our musical theater productions since early 2000’s; and we export a lot of talented actors and performers to the world. I was already a fan of your reviews - since I travel to London every month to watch musicals there - and got really happy to see you had a good time in my city, back home, too. Thanks for coming, And please come again!

[@000euMJ]

I'm Brazilian and I say São Paulo is the best city in Brazil! It can be chaotic, but there is so much to do and you can find almost anything there. It has really nice, beautiful and walkable places (although there are many ugly and dangerous ones too, like every city in Brazil). I don't live there, but I go frequently and there's alway something new to do (and new musicals to see 😁).

[@Didi_Online]

hummm depends where the person you're talking to comes from i guess lol...I'm from Bahia and if I were ever to move states in Brazil I'd only ever go to São Paulo. That's a BIG CITY! It holds everything and has everything you could ever think of. It's very fast paced, much like NYC. That would be the best comparison I can make. The city has parts where it's not as beautiful like other regions of the country but it the pros of living there are huge.

[@danielslisboa]

It's a nice city, it's just not as unique and festive as Rio and some other cities in Brazil. I mean, you're going to see something very similar to most global metropolises. But certainly visiting the city is an incredible experience, especially for the Brazilian urban culture and gastronomy. There's no way to find the biggest city in the Americas boring. It is really worth getting to know the city and soon after seeing other views, such as Rio, the northeast, Minas, etc.

[@ThassioMarcelo]

People say bad things because is huge, expensive to live, you spend a lot of money with transportation, too chaotic sometimes, noisy. people live to work, study, pay rent and ubers. Must people want all the things Sao Paulo has, but looking like Rio.

Hello! Australian from Sydney here. When Wicked played last in Sydney (in like 2009 I believe) it was at the Capitol Theatre, which is an older heritage venue. Coincidentally, We have a run of the show starting here in August playing at the Sydney Lyric Theatre, which fun fact is inside/connected to a casino of all things, but is still very signposted. The Capitol and the Sydney Lyric are the two main (largest) venues for musicals here in Sydney but there are plenty of other theatres putting on productions (both musicals and other exciting stuff) as well. Glad you enjoyed the amazing Brazilian production :)

Loved the travel vlog vibe, and how excited you were! You're absolutely right about comfort being most important part of long haul travel. It's nice to see more professional non-replica productions happening. I saw one of the first amateur productions (Australia was the first region to be granted rights for amateur use) and it was done quite well considering the significantly lower budgets. It'll be interesting to see if any of the ideas from newer productions filters back to the 'standard' like the Ozdust lighting from London filtered back to Broadway.

[@johnyho]

Surprised to find this title in my subbox. Started watching your videos during the Cinderella review era. - This is the 2nd Wicked production in Sao Paulo. The previous one was at Teatro Renault (the Lion King theater), which is actually closer to the center of the city. Those theaters in the center city are the more walkable ones, but I would never do that for evening shows. But more walkable-ish, is nothing like what you get in the West End or Broadway, still spread around. - Didn't get to see the Teatro Santander production, but watched the previous one, a few years after watching the London production, which the first time I watched it. Still midway through the video, very curious about your thoughts about the changes and some of the localization that I believe are consistent through the Brazilian production altogether. - Teatro Santander on JK Iguatemi, really in a non-walkable area of the city. All the theaters in this part of the city, are really non-pedestrian friendly, even public transport are a bit annoying in this part of the city. - Companies do get tax cuts by investing on cultural things. That's why we have so many large theaters with named sponsors.

Hope you enjoyed your stay! Lots of great theater happening in Sao Paulo, hope life brings you back here sometime ☺️☺️

Btw, your Portuguese pronunciation is hilarious throughout the video 😂😂

The "Teatro Renault", where Lion King is playing now, is where Wicked was first played in 2016, with the same main actresses.

To answer your question Wicked in Australia has toured Australia 2 times already & it's always been in a musical theatre at least in Sydney. It's coming to Sydney again for a third time this month until like December I think & it's going to a newer theatre this time unlike the other 2 times. The newer venue is in a casino though so guess you can add another one with a carpark/car drop off area😜😂 I wish there were more non replica shows in Australia

What an amazing adventure! Thrilling!! I bet seeing Defining Gravity like that was a once in a lifetime experience. I got goose bumps just watching it here!🤩😍🥰

The day 1 Sao Paulo outfit is so funny, he think São Paulo is a Summer Vacation hahaha

I like how theatres in Brazil have sponsors and have the brand plastered onto the name of the theatre like it's a sports stadium, there's something admirable in its tackiness

This is insane! Hope you had fun Mickey ✨
