“Elphaba the little green problem” I love Carole 🥺❤️

[@broadwaybrook2319]

I know right! She's such a great actress! "Not just an evil old cow in gorgeous costumes."

[@centralstudiosfilms]

Loved*

[@tillyboos]

BY FAR, the BEST Morrible EVER. She's just AH-MAHZING! Carole Shelley was BRILLIANT in the role! The OBC of Wicked is STILL for me, the BEST cast of Wicked EVER! I feel VERY LUCKY to have seen them on my 30th birthday on November 6th, 2003. I'll NEVER forget it. 🖤💚

Rest in Peace Carole Shelley (1939 - 2018)

[@jordanbrock8199]

To Carole, madame morrible (did that have anything to do with horrible) represents so many “public servants”/politicians I’ve met. You did an outstanding and wonderful job.

Idiiiiina with that little *take a leap of faith* mention tickled my musical theatre nerd-self deeply 🤓

[@astraeusgodofthestars676]

Thank you for this beautiful video! At least we have an insight for those of us who haven't seen the original cast. Thank you!

[@broadwaybrook2319]

I just want to tell you, I'm all on your SIIIIIIDE!

[@Dangansona]

Wow, Carole is so charming! 🥰 Rest In Peace 😢

[@lasimo9964]

Rest in peace Carole ❤️

[@broadwaybrook2319]

The most morrible of all

[@desayuna9148]

Thank you so much for sharing these videos❤ Life has been tough lately, and seeing this has helped me so much with depression and anxiety. Thank you from my heart ❤️

[@sugaranddirt]

Don't these clips of the show proof that there is a full proshot of the OBC?

[@sheismymom]

7:19 my favorite Nessarose the best

[@frankiemae1302]

Really enjoyed this! Thank you.

[@joncerda351]

20:28 "You really have to take a leap of faith" hmm mmm LMAO

[@millangullehag4138]

Istg the musical should’ve ended with Glinda and elphaba reunite

[@kalyssahartley5430]

Or at least in someway, Glinda finding out that Fiyero and Elphaba are alive 🥺

[@andrew5222]

that would destroy the tragic ending. it's purposeful.

[@tannermulkay6332]

Wait so does the actress for Nessa participate in the opening scene? Like with the celebration of Elphabas death? Is that the quick change Michelle was talking about or am I mistaken?

[@carlyw]

Yeah! She has mob choreography and then goes offstage to change with a crowd of other people immediately after NOMTW.

[@sheismymom]

is that still a thing? i had no idea the actress for Nessa was in that scene wow@@carlyw

[@Hwilki]

⁠@@sheismymomyes it’s still a thing! Nessa and Fiyero are both featured in the opening sequence, dressed as part of the mob.

[@sheismymom]

26:36 interesting in the book she's described as looking like a Carp

[@gabrielvidrio3210]

Happy 20th Anniversary Wicked 🎉💚🐒🧙‍♀️🤢👩‍🦰👸🏼🐵💗🎊

[@71crm]

Idina later revealed in a recent Instagram post that it was actually kinda of annoying to have to do this interview while being greened up because all those brushes were all in her face while she was talking. I kinda can see that, also watching her with all those big brushes makes my skin all itchy. I feel like if that’s was me I’d probably end up smudging the makeup because I can’t stand anything itchy on my skin. That’s just me personally, I’m pretty sure Idina is used to all this by now.

[@YanagiJuniper]

I'm gay you guys I swear but also I'm completely in love with Kristin Chenoweth

[@TheKelJacob]

Joel Grey wasn't a Frank Morgan fan? I like him less now.

[@sheismymom]

I don't think he's speaking on Frank Morgan as a general actor I think he's speaking of him as the Wizard in the 1939 movie and how the character wasn't a favorite of his so he looked into the Wizard more before playing the role.
