Wicked's Opening Number From First Performance Back | It's Good To See Me Isn't It | September 2021

Yes Glinda, it certainly was wonderful to see you. For the first time since March of 2020, Wicked reopened at the Gershwin Theatre in New York City and the standing ovations were plentiful.
With music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, who was in attendance, Wicked tells the story of happened in the Land of Oz…but from a different angle. Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another young woman, born with emerald-green skin, who is smart, fiery, misunderstood, and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships…until the world decides to call one “good,” and the other one “wicked.”
Currently led by Lindsay Pearce as Elphaba and Ginna Claire Mason as Glinda, check out the show’s thrilling first number and audience reaction.

“It’s good to see me isn’t it” really hits hard now.

[@georgia.newman]

Such a Glinda thing to say lmao

[@disneydanny2]

so did "we have all been through a frightening time, and there will be other times and other things that frighten us"

[@missdonutaltaccount1380]

That line now makes sense-

[@missybarbour6885]

Ginna Claire Mason did a virtual workshop for my college theater program a year ago. She specifically mentioned that the first thing she was looking forward to was reopening night when she could say "It's good to see me isn't it?" She knew everyone would roar.

[@JRNY07]

I can’t imagine what she was feeling with all of that energy coming towards her. After all of these months! We’ve missed you, Broadway 🥰

[@sweeney60]

I guarantee she gave the performance of her life!

[@yama5182]

EXACTLY!! 💓💓💓

[@andrewleeadkins93]

Glinda truly meant it too. Not her character…the actress is so glad to be back. BROADWAY IS BACK!!!

[@tomgallowitz]

She wasn’t speaking just for her and her company but all of Broadway

[@Maspets]

[@TheKPVang]

It’s from the official Wicked KZbin that recorded and uploaded it! :)

[@steviehills4256]

I miss live theatre SO much! After being away for so long, I can only imagine what the curtain call must've felt like. I'm crying! Excuse me while I wipe my theatre nerd tears.

[@Maspets]

Crying over this makes you more than a "nerd".

[@oliviasummer9918]

I WAS THERE! Opening night! It was so beautiful and overwhelming and emotional and absolutely worth the wait. Wow I'm glad it's back

[@Maspets]

Lol you guys are pathetic.

[@erinlayne4511]

Everytime I watch this I can’t help but cry. Wicked was my first Broadway show with my mom. I feel like I can feel the energy from the audience through my phone. Even Gina Claire who plays Glinda in this you can tell was emotional. ❤️

[@pdsketch603]

Same here!

[@missdonutaltaccount1380]

I love the long pause after "It's good to see me isn't it!"

[@kylerutherford]

This makes me wanna live in nyc so much.. just complete chills!!!!

[@Maspets]

Trust me, you aren't missing anything.

Mason, the company, and the audience were rejoicifying.

[@GoldenWreck]

Fuck, those classic trumpets at the beginning gives me absolute goosebumps. So good to have an amazing childhood memory awoken and celebrated once again.

Dang if I lived in the US, I'd probably go to as many Broadway shows as I can. I want to see them live, too bad I live across the globe.

[@Maspets]

Hated every Broadway show I went to, lol glad I moved.

[@maysworld9768]

Oh my god I was here it was amazing!

[@Nacho-Mamma]

Keep applauding! All the while, the bubbles are making the stage under Glenda slicker than snot on a brass doorknob!

[@absolutely_abe]

The bubbles are a special formula that don't leave a slippery residue on the stage. So it's safe for the actors. I wasn't sure if your comment was sarcasm or whatnot.

[@erikwillard2546]

I just retired as a police officer of 25 years never really had much time or the money to do things that I wanted to do. I retired on April 28 this Broadway play is coming to East Lansing Michigan Wharton Center it’s one of the first tickets that I bought for something that I’ve always wanted to do going by myself which is fine but probably going to cry

[@Donnut123]

Haha! Awesome!!
