From Broadway: The American Musical.

I just love that Idina wore a pointed black hat during staging and choreography.

Honey, you have at least another ten years to go before the 2000's can be considered retro and any details that define it are open to your criticism.

[@kaylachaney2205]

" witch way to the party " was replaced with " dancing through life" this is my favorite musical ever and idina menzel is an AWSOME actress! 💚

[@rooneycaulfield9921]

But can we talk about how we all need that beautiful clip of "What is This Feeling?"

[@Olivia_4444]

the first time Idina starts talking...oh god what a soft voice she has. i'm proud to say she's my idol

6:13 that is Stephanie J. Block and Derek Williams :) later to become Elphaba and Fiyero

[@bway_car08]

Yep :)

[@peerah]

OMG yes I knew they looked familiar. I wish Stephanie had been given more dance roles. She's such a great dancer.

[@xosrakateox]

Can they please just make this into a movie before Idina and Kristin can't do it anymore?!?!??! With the right makeup they could still pass for "high school-ish" age girls at the beginning. It just needs to happen for my life to feel complete!

they should have made a dvd!

Harris J I know but they should've done one with the obc like CATS.

[@carlosalejandroalvarenga4913]

Helena There is a proshot DVD, it's just not on sale. That's the footage where they get those HD clips from

[@traviscouplin8847]

This was a good rehearsal, they were very prepared to be on the stage, back in 2003, the musical was extraordinary fantastic and spectacular.

[@defyingravitymanila]

"Which Way is The Party" is the "original" song that's in the place of "Dancing Through Life" but the producers decided to go with DTL(Dancing Through Life)

it sounds a lot different! i love how it evolved

[@abbycorcoran4123]

When I saw Wicked, it was hilarious and wonderful the music. Glinda is my favorite character

[@wendymaciver]

Love seeing how the music changed, it's so interesting!

[@jazminestryder]

Oh dear! How did I miss that? Lol. A group of four girls did this song at my local young theater group, I loved this song when they sang it but I totally didn't know this was from Wicked. how shameful! and I'm in love with this whole story.

omg! the "which way to the party" dances are so cool!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@tyrakristiansen7188]

I got so excited when i saw Stephanie J Block, she's my favorite human being

[@RCurtisLambert]

Stephanie was the ORIGINAL Elphaba in all the out of town try outs/pre-broadway run....she was replaced by Idina when the show moved to Broadway. Tragic. She took over the role when Idina left (I saw them both and know Stephanie) and she was MUCH MUCH MUCH better!

[@tyrakristiansen7188]

@@RCurtisLambert I wish Stephanie was the first Elphaba, since Defying Gravity was written for her AND the role of Elphana was written with her in mind! She's also the greatest nicest person and she deserves that Tony so badly, i hope she wins for The Cher Show!

[@audramcdonaldapologist3676]

Tyra Kristiansen you got your wish!

Omg seeing them so young makes me want to just turn back time!!

[@tweetybaybee12]

OMGGGGG... I seen the play Wicked!!!!! at the Kennedy Center In Dc last night and it was very beautIful, romantic, tragic love story with a happy ending when Galinda and Elphaba was very close best friends at the end of the play!, the scenery and special effects was so awesome I would love to see the play again REAL SOOOOOON!!!!!! =))

[@HeldaBlack]

Amazing dancers and Idina the cutest as usual. Love her at the end with her witch hat ;)

[@ReneeMauriceOriginal]

Hahaha, Galinda is like "I am not amused" :D I FREAKIN LOVE THIS SHOW!

[@Nikki2806]

I do wish I could have seen it on broadway and seen Idina and Kristen cause they make the pairing, and no one can do Elphaba like Idina.

[@manuelorozco7760]

What about Eden?

[@OfficialCharEdwards]

@SydTheGuitarKid No way, I reckon they should get a new cast. I love Chenzel but it's done. Neither of them WANT to go back to it. And there's already a Chenzel recording. And I think it should be in British (accent). That would be so cool!!!! Imagine if they got people who've never done the show before, they might be AMAZING! x

[@xgleekablex]

Wicked is the show I dream to be in. I don`t even care if I were an extra.

[@lizybengochea3105]

Okay, so the choreography for "Witch Way to the Party" seemed really cool, but I was cringing so hard while watching Norbert dragging on the floor

[@manuelorozco7760]

I actually believe he was having a ball

[@idawik7126]

I like musicals had changed my life heart

[@Lethia13]

For some reason Norbert Leo Butz (fantastic name btw) who plays Fiyero, reminds me a bit of Michael C Hall (Dexter) in this. heh love it

[@amandajuan]

Oh my god Idina's boo and laugh>>

[@iliherr1417]

i really wish they had stuck w/certain things they did in the workshops ('which way to the party" , dance sections, etc), but they know why they did what they did, and it's given us what will surely be a classic american musical for the ages :D I LOVE WICKED!!

DID ANYONE ELSE SEE STEPHANIE J BLOCK?!?!!? AHHHHHHH!!! shes perfect...thats all

[@docnita]

My 11 year old daughter is obsessed with this show. She saw it once in Providence and listens to the music constantly and knows all the lyrics. She actually sings pretty well and I think would be perfect for Glinda! Maybe she can be in the movie! That would be amazing!

[@manuelorozco7760]

Is she happy for Ariana Grande at least

[@Kelnosha]

Wow those dancers are amazing!

[@manuelorozco7760]

Idina’s new documentary Which Way To The Stage sent me here! The cast recording of Wicked was the first time I heard her sing. A little while before Frozen. Without Wicked, my love of musical theatre would partially never have happened. By the way, Norbert seems to be having a ball in those rehearsals. And the song had to be replaced by Dancing Through Life which I always loved.

Ignore my previous commnet...thanks for posting this!

[@Amaranth9]

Although she's not trained per se, its nice to see some of the experience Stephanie has in dance. You can see it in her Dance O' Death number in 9 to 5. And the female dancer with the curly hair is Ioana Alfonso, who is with SJB in 9 to 5 as Maria!

Wayne Cilento was hand-picked by Michael Bennett for the original cast of A Chorus Line. Respect him, as he's forgotten more about dance than you'll ever know.

I kinda wish that they would have kept "Which Way to the Party". I think the choreography for it was amazing, and Wicked kinda needed an upbeat song.
