Wicked (Broadway)

I've seen twice Wicked by National Tour (in LA, San Diego)

Third time but first time in BROADWAY!



Differences

  • The whole theater not only the stage entertains spectators. Like this



    More than that,
the stage itself has special features. Extended footholds, holes, many lights..etc, all of which help the witch's magic (lol). Seriously, it's big deal through every numbers.


  • No one mourns the Wicked
          After, "Look Glinda" Joke "You are not seeing TED (just started movie)" or something like that.
          Before the scene of Shiz, Glinda tried to touch Boq, some friend, then finally Elphaba. 父とDocter Dillamondはあまり歌が上手くなかった。具体的には音が高めで響かない。特に羊っぽさを出さなきゃいけないSomething Badだとちと気になった。
  • What is This feeling
          Elphaba tried to touch friends as if she in fact wants friends...
  •  Dancing Through Life
            When Elphaba comes, Nessarose, who is in the center, lit by the main light hurry to go away from the party. Boq runs after her but miss her and he really regrets he couldn't say the truth to her (covering his face with his hands). Stressed that Glinda just tries to be "good" from the bottom of her heart, and Elphaba offers her hand meaning she wants it badly. Dances are not so strange, just like modern dance.
  • Popular
          Glinda looks not so stupid compared with national tour (it's through the stage). (Actually in my opinion green face doesn't have any disturbance on the beauty of Elphaba: Jackie Bruns lol)

  • I'm not that girl
          Glinda reaches her hand to Fiyero but just take it back as if she really wants him (she uses this expression of wanting someone through the stage) 
  • The scene they run away taking an animal in danger.
          Fiyero gets the wrong way but it's not humorously.
  • One Short Day 
          Using balloon. Winged Monkey are flying using ropes.
  • Defying Gravity 
          With the hole furnished with stairs. And it starts with no recess, which makes it more serious and under difficult situation. And it also has a great impact that Glinda has a valid point (not stupid). Parting seems not evitable, and moving...
          Elphaba sings very well. "I'm afraid"での3度上げや後半部分での抑揚の付け方など、オリジナリティと構成を妨害しない技術で素晴らしい。
  • Thank Goodness
          Also, it's easy to sympathize with Glinda. (BTW as I saw Evita yesterday, I thought in this scene she imitates the speech of Evita? just saying)
  • Wonderful
         Elphaba gets not so into Oz, which makes it more realistic. 
  • I'm not that girl
         the feeling comes across that Glinda just tries to be "good" not stupidly but in vain. Not humor. or She does not deserve it. Tragic.
  • As long as  you're mine
           Elphaba's pause before "I feel wicked" is pretty hot and good lol
  • The scene Nessarose dies 
          Glinda says an accident but not mention mortgage loan or subprime loan (in California, it's humor you know?lol)
  • For Good Deed
          Elphaba sings well (second time). 地声を裏声に抜けさせて抑揚を付けていて上手い。
  • March of the Witch hunters
          Also Glinda seems reasonable. and feel sorry for her.
  • For Good
         Big and Good difference. Glinda keeps serious draw not so big laughing (eg, "I have many friends" saying just rapidly). Every time I saw Wicked, I only sympathized only with Elphaba. But this time, I can sympathize with both of them, and I see Glinda in Elphaba (She in reality wants someone to support her) and Elpaba and Glinda (she in reality wants to be what she, not "people", believes in) . Two ways passed on the cross. They cannot go back to the cross. But they believe it has changed them for good... 


I gotta face the reality right now!!
