"He's got Wicked on the brain." Derek eventually plays Fiyero... who turns into the scarecrow... who has no brain. Lindsay plays Elphaba who is the only character in Wicked to get Fiyero back on the right path. Lindsay does just this. OMG. Mind blown!

[@GLEEK12345678910]

This was from when he was doing wicked!

[@AmberLights1615]

Derek is the God of crescendos.

[@bellluvsnick]

I love how she knows him so well. When he starts messing up the words I love how she looks at him like 'Yeh, ok, what ever works!' It's just so cute!! Klendez forever!

[@TwoRiversInSpace]

I love that around 2:13 you can tell Lindsay knows he's got the lyrics wrong. And she just teases him with her eyes. Like, "Oh! Uh huh :) Okay." So adorable.

[@literaltrash6320]

theatre slip ups are my favorite! they handled it pretty well :)

[@tristanrowley6324]

omg when he messes up I can't take it, it's so cute

[@radioactive8662]

What time??

[@ash-tq9xw]

@@radioactive8662 2:18 but Idk what he says sorry

[@tabbyspell5264]

I find it funny how I heard this song randomly before I heard of the musical and I thought this was actually really nice and sweet...SURPRISE

[@angelicamazyn4293]

TabbyCat Galz same

[@chrisstecklermusic]

More original musicals for Klendez please!

[@climbinguphill]

I vote YES

[@elizabethhall3587]

WHO IN THE HELL WOULDNT GO TO A PARTY WITH HIM???

[@bethany5527]

"They ain't gonna hurt you..." let's skip forward a couple songs shall we? XD

[@alexs.3383]

Bethany Matson I would fight Eddie

[@dilemma9014]

If this happened to me and then it was fake I would cry and never stop.

[@breanabrown2274]

THOSE DIMPLES😍😍😍

[@eb.3764]

Breana Brown are in a weird area

[@madisonjackson1818]

Really creep me out...

[@redhead_bebs]

I know right!

[@JPx000]

@@eb.3764 not an actual dimple but a scar. He had something surgically removed.

[@Barbwireamulet777]

the piano player is Into it!

[@jessicajarrett1879]

I'm pretty sure he is also musical directing, so he is conducting with his head lol.

[@leilanihanaike]

You can tell he was racking his brain for the lyrics and I love that she jumped in to defend him.

[@dinoreaper5854]

Oh my god, this has to be the most adorable thing I've ever seen! Derek is the cutest,with his little dimples, and Lindsay is too precious! Also, his little slip-up was absolutely precious

[@andiotrebac6583]

I know he’s supposed to be bullshitting her in this song but I fall in love every time I hear him sing this

[@millie6659]

I just love how they're not in costume or not in (proper) character in any way, yet they still act like there's heaps going on. Like, the part where Lindsay is still telling Derek to 'give it back' even though they clearly don't have a broom. Gosh. I love them so much.

[@kfranchesca]

THOSE DIMPLEEEES

[@jodidisario1219]

After seeing Wicked on tour 12 times, I finally got to see it on Broadway for the 10th anniversary. Was supposed to be this pair, but I had Lindsay's understudy. She was wonderful too.

[@keziadickensoo88]

Jodi Disario was her understudy nothing short of wonderful

[@somethingnexttonormal]

I thought I was hardcore since I saw Wicked 2 times on bway and once in london

[@ohlouda954]

HIS DIMPLES

[@carolinabelle58]

This so needs to come to Broadway

[@SabrinaJohns]

I can't believe I'm just finding out that Pasek and Paul wrote the music for DOGFIGHT!!!! They are soooooo talented!

[@sophiemadigan4583]

Literally the two most attractive people I've ever seen in my life wow

[@yiatsai]

i really love the facial expression of Derek when Lindsay sang the jerk part....

[@ronniemcleod2880]

[@equinelaura1369]

OMG! KLENDEZ!!! LOVE THEM!!!

[@emilyquigley9293]

The giggle at 4:39 has me dead

[@keoma.aidhen]

This song reminds me a little bit of Sondheim's 'Moments in the woods'

[@partyinthetardis]

This is such a lovely performance! What great performers! And the second number makes you want to punch Klena's character in the face.

[@soopersalad2509]

this is my favorite klena og musical so far. pasek and paul are the future.

[@bisexualbestie4351]

4:16 PLS their little “ok”s were so wholesome

[@myebbers]

She got the dog tags from Joe Montela on opening night of Dog Fight I believe and she got the Rose pendant from Derek Klena also on opening night.. I'm really not certain if Joe Montella gave them to her on Opening night though, but I'm pretty sure that's when Derek gave her the Rose pendant..

[@jessica23claire]

yessssSSS I am living for Derek's Tommy Ross hair.

[@PurpleePandaas]

This show will forever mean so much to me. I love them together so much

[@sydneymotes6635]

She is the current Broadway Elphaba, yes. And Derek Klena is the current Broadway Fiyero. Both are absolutely wonderful in the show.

[@bradymannion4344]

4:19 WHAT A GEM!....WHAT A GEM!

[@brokencrayon83]

oh my gawd these two are adorable.

[@JordynsPoetryPannier]

I have literally watched this all day... apart from the hour and a half I spent watching the movie "Dogfight". I was dying to see the other parts of the story! Forgive me for moving away from Klendez.

[@jenniferlee9577]

OH GOD HE'S SO YOUNG AND SMALL

[@bellsy4622]

I'm gonna have to watch it again, the first time the dimples had my undivided attention.

[@HazelOct]

I love Lindsay. :)

[@laursport06]

That mess up was so adorable! Haha. This show is great! And they are are both great in Wicked!

[@christophere.2803]

Lyrics Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh... Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, holy cow, what to wear, And your hair, what a mess, pick a dress, oh my gosh, Are you mourning a death? Take a breath. What a look, I mistook you for butternut squash. Oh my gosh Keep it soft, keep it bright, be a girl, something pink, Don't you think, just a touch, not too much, he likes you, Just be you, he won't care what you wear, I dunno, should I go with the pink or the blue? What to do? For someone who is nothing short of wonderful? Nothing short of wonderful... Just a girl, just a guy, but it's him, and it's you, And it's true what you've heard, like a bird how you lift And your chest feels a pull like you're full of a joy, 'cause a boy interrupted your shift. Like something nothing short of wonderful, Oh it was nothing short of wonderful. What if, when we're dancing, I'm clumsy? Our feet collide What if, when we're dancing, he dips me? Our lips meet And we glide across the room? And it feels nothing short of wonderful Nothing short of wonderful Hurry up, he won't wait, he can't wait half the night Either white or maroon, you're a loon, you're a mess And you think you might bust, but you've just got to choose Pick the shoes, and decide on the dress And you'll be nothing short of wonderful Nothing short of wonderful Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, on a date, on a date, But you can't make him wait, no you can't make him late And your room is in heaps and you can't see the floor But you finally get what a girdle is for Oh my gosh... Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my g--- Oh my gosh

[@danielleo1214]

"he has wicked in mind" because he forgot his lyrics

[@AC-th4ci]

I'm currently doing tech for this show and this is the number where everyone on crew, sound, and lights starts radioing each other to fix stuff, because it goes on for so long and there isn't a single cue lmao
