"At first it's really upsetting, and then you start to wear it like a badge of honor" Basically Elphaba's character development.

WickedFrozenHeart yeah. except then she also gets the badge of shame and people celebrate when she is “dead.”

Harmonizer yeah but she kind of stops caring. People always tried to shame her. I don’t think she is ashamed at all in the end. She knows she has passed on her fight and gets to walk away with her head held high.
I feel all the swings and understudies have been in the show longer than the main cast members

It's probably because Elphaba is such a demanding role, and your voice is worn out really easily doing a show 8+ times a week... Since the ensemble is a smaller role than Elphie, the cast most likely isn't belting like she is.. The voice is so fragile, and it's hard to be belting every night and keep your voice in shape..

Guys, Olba's pastilles are bomb. She's right, if you are a musical theatre actor or simply a singer you NEED to get some!

Being a Brooklyn native, who has been performing since I was a young kid, I've been using Olba's Pastiles my WHOLE LIFE. I swear by them. SAME with the Traditional Medicinals Throat Coat. The Raspberry and Lemon Echnicaea, are the TWO best.
I love how dedicated they are to keeping their voices healthy. I've performed with people who will arrive to the hour-call and not have warmed up, coffee in hand, not giving a damn since they think downing a bottle of water will make it all okay. Lindsay, Derek and everyone else has to be in tip-top shape. Kudos and props to them!
I never want these backstage videos to end! I love seeing what goes on behind the scenes- especially of my favourite musical ever!!

"Yeah...I'm green what of it?" 😂😂 I love Lindsay 😂
Lindsay's eyebrow game is strong
Your dresser seems like such lovely kind caring person almost like a mum when you are doing all those shows
Their voice and their health are what enables them to do this for their living. Gotta be healthy and incredibly strong, pretty much 24/7.

One day I will be on Broadway and I will be elphaba hopefully it's been my dream since I was 3 to be a actor first on Hollywood then when I was in grade 7 I started musicals now I am in grade 10 and I know I can make it no matter how many people tell me I can't

Lindsay is like me in the morning. I never want to get my lazy ass out of bed. I'm just surprised that she looks fricking amazing first thing in the morning.
When she said “come with me” at the beginning her Elphaba came out it sounded like the line “come with me to the Emerald City” 😂 did anyone else think of that?

This is the best one! A day in your he life of a young, dangerously talented woman in New York. You are living the dream of a million little girls (and TWO million boys)!!!!
Travis W... in Wicked... then in Matilda... this kind of makes my day! lol
wow you wouldn't expect her just randomly walking around to be about to star on broadway
OMG! James Brown III came to my school and talked to my drama class! LOL, I was watching it and was like "i've met him" lol. He's really sweet!!
I've seen every single backstage video lindsay! I just simply LOVE this musical! Ad actually one of the girls that is on the cast of wicked here in Mexico was in my high school and that makes things very exciting! It is really my dream to sing and dance on wicked! You're amazing so full of happiness! Love the cast! Congratulations to all of you!
Gotta love Lindsay's end sing!
10:04 honestly such a great look

thank you for all you share with us other actors of what to prepare for life in the big city.
So glad the Olbas Pastilles are a part of your day :)
What an amazing vlog. Definitely the best of the bunch!
I love these so much you have no idea I rewatch them like everyday
i now wonder a lot less how these people can sing/act/dance 8 shows a week. if i was this neurotic about my vocal health (and had the time) I'd have a lot less vocal fatigue.
Been watching these videos and loving them since they came out. I need more content by Lindsay!!! She's so inspiring. If she got a youtube channel I would diiiie of gratitude.

This is a BRILLIANT pilot episode for a TV show!..
I love how totally natural and homeopathic Lindsay is in her approach to vocal health. And then there's the Book of Mormon guys plugging Mucinex! Personally, I think Mucinex is amazing. I think it was Jared Getner who called it "Magic Singing Pills." Andrew Rannells said he was mildly addicted to it. W/Evs. I am in awe of all of these brilliant B'Way performers.
Omg Lindsey is so hilarious
I'm so loving these episodes!!!!!
I have seen all of these episodes at least 7 times each. Can't wait 'til episode 8 is out!!
I love these sooo much !!
4:09 my jaw dropped when i saw a shadowhunters city of bones poster
i get so happy when i see these in my subscription box! :)
I freaking LOVE Lindsay Mendez! SO adorable and funny :) ♥ Xx
i love this :') thank u for sharing m'love!!!
All of this is so interesting!!
Wow!!!.Seeing what the actors have to go thru to protect their voices makes me glad I'm a drummer and not a singer!!!
My school did Oliver and I got Dodger so I asked for s steamer for Xmas so I could use it 😂
