Behind the scenes of Wicked
These videos were all very fascinating. I loved the make-up one (as seen below). I know how intricate and complicated theater make-up can be, and it actually is a small hobby of mine. I love how the makeup of Elphaba evolves as her character changes changes and matures into her own woman. Another interesting video was that of the "Time Dragon". Having seen the show a few years ago, I always wondered what the dragons purpose was in the show. This video helped to explain that it was an element from the novel that the set designer felt was an important creative point. The dragon adds to the over all astethic and feel of the musical (mise en scene!), making it feel like another world on stage.So much work and thought went into the creation of Wicked, its no wonder its such an amazing show!
