[@whodatninja439]

it's the loudest thing in the whole show lol

[@jmp_fr]

@@whodatninja439 they succeeded at making it terrifying for sure

[@benjaminwambeke9458]

"The head is supposed to be terrifying" You did your job insanely well, then

[@kileyslone2762]

Benjamin Wambeke seriously though I’m 14 and I saw it a few days ago it scared the shit out of me

[@elsa981Aj]

When i say it and it came out and started to talk I jumped in my seat

[@elsa981Aj]

When i saw it, i was chilling, and then the oz head came out and i almost had a heart attack because it startled me XD

[@erenvarli4665]

I sat in the middle of front row and I fell on seat and nearly slaped some

[@SixSilverStones]

Yeah they sure did

[@krystalharwood4126]

gah! the first time I heard and saw that thing...It scared the bejezzus outta me!! I was 23 by the way

[@vanilla.latte_177]

Same! But i also wanted to see more of it lol

[@kadeywadey10]

😂❤❤❤😂😂😊😊😊😊

[@keeganlillith9694]

The metal work is absolutely gorgeous!

[@Blue_Harmony]

i remember when i saw the head i think i must of screamed inside i was so freaked out and scared XD

[@laurenlouiser1486]

I know right me too x

[@Onyx421]

Same it is the only reason that I can't be in wicked LOL 😱🤭🤣😂😅

[@Zamarae]

LOVED seeing it in person on stage!! I wish I could have snuck a pic lol

[@lukeluthor6290]

We saw Wicked during the summer of 2015 and it was amazing! However, the Oz head scared me for a good 5 seconds and looked super creepy and was super loud. I lost my hearing and we were in the last row of the first area of seats in the front and I couldn't hear for the rest of the night, but, that's show biz. Gotta entertain your guests with freaky and loud stuff. I would FLY to see Wicked again in a HEARTBEAT! (No pun intended on the Tinman and Elpheba.)

[@beaucode1010]

The oz head looks like poop

[@SaraH-ps8ob]

Good thing the two times I saw wicked I sat in thr mezzanine

[@dougy_dawg]

@@beaucode1010 wth is wrong with u lol

[@lichen6851]

Watched Wicked the other day - the head didn't scare me, but it did break my ears considering it was a lot louder than the rest of it.

[@paigelivesay2977]

YES!!! I remember it being SO loud but it was super cool.

[@lukepevensie]

@@paigelivesay2977 man, that thing was so loud i had cover my ears twice, and at the end of defying gravity as well, my ears was ringing when Stephanie J Block did her battle cry

[@SixSilverStones]

The sound guys did a great job

[@cclivgg]

As soon as the oz head came in and began to move and talk I actually crapped myself. It was so unexpected that I literally grabbed into my friends arm!

[@PollyLove92]

The head freaked me out!! but I loved it!!!

[@nigerianprincess101]

Ikr. Only thing from Wicked that entered my nightmares.

[@krystalharwood2300]

PollyLove92 that voice! omg! possessed!

[@SaraH-ps8ob]

+nigerianprincess101 I literally just had a bad dream about that head

[@backpackdude1]

I know. I saw the show and it scared the crap out of my sister.

[@starcxtcher]

the prop master is literally just like "yeah it's a bike handle" and i'm over here absolutely _gobsmacked_

[@homeishere2089]

The oz head and the dragon were my favorite parts of this musical

[@insaneloke4215]

my favorite part of the show. such fluid animation

[@QUARTERMASTEREMI6]

My family just visited NYC recently in February and got to see me and my brother’s first Broadway show and the Oz Head has got to be my absolute favourite part! 💚

[@blargblarg6286]

I saw this show live once. that head was the SHIT!

[@tophergaut8346]

I saw this show live, and I couldn't tell you one lyric from one song. But you know what I could tell you? *I AM OZ! I AM OZ THE GREAT AND TERRIBLE!*

[@backpackdude1]

When I saw this in Salt Lake City, it scared the crap out of my sister. 😂

[@yumdisc4981]

I watched Wicked at the London Apollo last night and the Wizard's head scared me so much! I had to hold onto my boyfriend's arm 😅

[@LittleRedDrum]

you have no idea how scared i was of this thing. when i saw it in sydney with my school, and again with my best friend, i couldnt stop shaking. i actually got teary haha i think it had to do with my fear of robots lol

[@SaraH-ps8ob]

I saw this when I was much younger two times and I was terrified of the head

[@veronicaross2593]

I saw Wicked last night and even though I could only see about 2/3rds of the stage I was close enough to experience how LOUD & TERRIFYING this Oz Head is up close!!! 😭 You truly feel the rumble of the actor's voice through your body & combined with how fluid & animated the puppeteering is it genuinely made me feel scared

[@Niqhtmusic]

Omg when I saw this I had to cover my ears it was so loud :o

[@Ihavename-]

Bro i remember watching this musical when i was 11 and i was terrified

[@ryanburke4633]

this is the best show I love in broadway

[@KirkLinnDeGrassi]

I was lucky to have a friend on the Lighting Crew here in SF for the Sitdown in 2009...for my birthday and get to go backstage and see how small the oz head really is! I got to turn on the Gypsy light as a fitting end to a very Wicked Birthday!

[@IrishFriendsFan]

HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT A CHANNEL DEVOTED TO WICKED?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?! SUBSCRIBED

[@rotwip5063]

Saw wicked when I was maybe 10 years old, we had to leave at intermission because of how terrified I was of oz😭 amazing work. So loud and terrifying lmao

[@ZeldaSnake300]

I remember having nightmares the day I saw Wicked at Gershwin

[@sheepshearer1975]

Please do a section on Nessa Rose's chair and the bridge and transitions!

[@justafidemyself]

That was so scary! Pretty cool though :D

[@rinisfriendnotfood786]

The first time I saw the oz head I wasn't scared it just really made me jump XD

[@mikeride101]

Please do a section on Defying Gravity & the lift??!

[@strongestheart5341]

is there any number for that eerie scary head? i wonder know about it.. I really like that machine's shape and voice.

[@hifriends579]

JUST SAW THIS....THIS THING KILLED ME

[@Aryakitty]

This is always something that has really confused me- The wizard head is so formidably loud and overwhelming its frightening and the voice is super creepy, but at the same time it totally fascinates me and I just remember thinking "this thing is so cool." Is there a word for that?? Maybe its a combination of how intimidating it is, but also the fact that I'm sitting comfortably in a theatre seat.

[@z.s.r.h]

That thing was SOOO loud!! We were sitting in the fourth row and I think I lost some of my hearing that day :/

[@SaviraTheatreCompany]

Hey! Im just really curious on how they strike and change sets so quickly does it use stagehands? Are there cranks? If there is ever a video on it that'd be great!!

[@NoodlesSF]

PLEASE do a segment on the proscenium dragon! :-)

[@wiisalute]

The only thing that freaked me out in this musical were those clown bobble head guys. WTF are those things?

[@jeremysworld3061]

They're a race of people called the "Hammer-Heads" that appeared in the original Wizard Of Oz novel.

[@ZoraTheberge]

My theory is that it's meant to look like Stephen Schwartz

[@Zodiaxals]

It was so LOUD when I watched it

[@Hirsh96]

can you do a behind the curtain about the lifts from the bubble to the DG lift

[@22jeyq]

Matthew Broderick as the Wizard!!!!! Please Make It Happen!!!!

[@nathandingess9482]

Where do the cables attach on the head to where you can use just a bike handle and kick pedal. I would really like to know

[@backpackdude1]

What about the melting scene?

[@hedgehoggal87]

[@nevaehvaughan142]

[@thatonetictac3998]

Pardon me, but what is that supposed to mean?

[@obessedbookwormA2Z]

if you search defying gravity with stephanie j block, she did one for cbs news

[@AngelusDlion]

IT's a lot less sexy when you're not in the audience isn't it? :) But ti's still amazing.

[@PianoDisneygal10]

Anyone else think Anthony Galde looks like Neil Patrick Harris?

[@MASTERofPUPPETEERING]

i would love to operate that puppet...you can tell by my youtube name lol

[@krystalharwood4126]

PJ looks like Archie Bunker
