Wicked - October 12th 2003
Idina Menzel, Kristen Chenoweth, Norbert Leo Butz, Joel Grey
Yup, it's *the* Wicked video, and it's not bad at all. Constant spotlight washout
(i.e. Elphaba rarely looks green except in close-up).
Great shot of a preview performance, decent colours and sound.
Taped from the mid left balcony, one cover-up when Elphaba and Glinda are dancing at the party,
and the camera also wanders at other times as well. *WHAT* an amazing show.
The music is gorgeous and the acting is top-notch, especially the leading duo.

Unlike the digital knockoff floating around, this real version does not cut off the end of Defying Gravity
and does not have motion-sickness inducing jerkiness. About five minutes worth of cover-ups at the
beginning of each Act (you see Glindaâ³ entrance) because of latecomers and few more random ones
during the first Act. The best shot Wicked video out there and follows the action well enough to be a movie.
No obstructions, incredible close-ups (ever wanted to read the board in Dillamondâ³ classroom).
Only video of Sho and Megan out there.

Nice close up's. Not too many issues on this shoot but a few slight things: A head on the right filmer had to shoot
around but not too distracting. A little mike rustling when the camera follows the action. A couple of digital
blips in Act 2 that are not an issue.
Excellent video, amazing closeups and filming.

Filmed in 16:9 widescreen. Audio from external MD recorder which is very clear.
Almost no obstructions (perhaps briefly when the woman in front of me leaned forward in her seat)
and very few blackouts (only in between scenes). Mix of wide shots and close zooms, depending
on action in scene. Filmed during the few weeks that Julie Reiber was temporarily filling in as standby
with the Broadway company when Jen DiNoia was in Australia (I think it was?). Julie remains one
of my favorite Elphabas of all time -- carefully thought-out acting with attention to the little details,
and GORGEOUS voice. Erin Mackey was an enjoyable Glinda with some very funny moments.
It was also great being able to see the original Nessarose back in the role.
