The last Popular seems to be where the Glindas put their stamp on it. Jana Stelley's is amazing, though it's in German. The Elphabas mostly cut loose with the riffs in Defying Gravity.

At the show I saw, when Glinda threw the wand back during Popular, it bounced off the wall and came flying back at her. She giggled and threw it again, and you could see Elphaba cracking up and then trying to hide it. It was hilarious.

The last popular was done pretty much on purpose. Most but Idina knew it was going to happen so they let her roll with it at least from what I heard

@zoeanderson7685

There's also a cute bit in Popular with Kerry Ellis and Kendra Kassebaum where Kendra says "Elphabie, now that we're friends..." I think the "Elphabie" instead of "Elphie" is cute and hilarious.

I think Idina was about to cry as well. Just instead of crying, she laughed a little. Last shows are always the best. Kristin and Idina's final defying gravity had the most feeling.

Shoshana's spaz...

Kristin ad-libing with her book during "Popular" was a joke that she and the crew all knew about. Idina was the *only one* who didn't know it was going to happen. It was during Kristin's last performance in Wicked and Kristin wrote the book with the only objective of making Idina smile and laugh.

I laughed so hard at the "Defying Gravity" blunder.

I didn't see anything out of character in this whole reel. Elphaba laughing during the popular scenes is something she would do because she thinks it's ridiculous anyway.

I love how Indina Menzel breaks character and she doesn’t even care during Kristin’s book

the last one is so cute omg

I love it when a little mess up happens and they just roll with it in character :) And oh my god, Kristin is too hilarious xD

Its theater. Any thing goes. Its not any fun and it makes it feel even more fake when its always "super professional".!Getting out of character helps sometimes

I like when Kristen cries and idina laughs like lol 😆

This is part of the reason I love Wicked, even though I haven't seen it live. They can fool around onstage in certain scenes, and it will look as if its part of the script.

@@kevinr.m.richardson812 In terms of musicals? It's far more likely to happen than not. Also it's not "lowering themselves" to anything - muck-up matinees are practically a tradition at this point; this is their last chance to enjoy themselves in these roles AND it gives the audience something to enjoy as well, sending them off on a high note. Besides, most actors are talented and sensible enough to do things that are either mostly unnoticeable or that still fit with the scene (Kristen's book adlib is a perfect example) so even if you've never seen the show before, it still makes perfect sense.

They both start crying, and then they start laughing at each other. This is great!

"No good deed goes unpunished!! Sure duh good-tentions duh-duh hrrmmmmm--" Wow, brilliant ad lib, Teal!! Those should have been the original lyrics! :D

This is so cool. These are some of the things that make theater, special to me. I really love the rose bit, and the pink panties.

hahaha the beauty of theater. anything goes. love it!

LOL attack of the killer bubbles!!! :) Sho's spazzing is hysterical!!!! Poor Kristin... :) This is ingenius!!! great job!!

poor idina in the popular ad lib...she obviously wasnt expecting that

lmao, "who knows maybe some of that green can come off" fab ad-libbing XD

This is GREAT!!! Thanks!! I LOVE watching bloopers and stuff like that!!!!

lol i laughed so loud at the one when Kristen Chenoweth flashed Norbert Leo Butz!!! I almost woke up my sister. lol thanx for putting these up!

That 1st one...IDINA SOUNDS AMAZING! *GASP* The changes and the riffage...I LOVE HER! And the "Beautiful smile" bit just makes me go AAAAAAAAAWH! Teal Wicks seems to forget quite a lot lol, bless her. And Oh God, the last one on Christins last show is just the nicest moment EVER! Great collection of moments :-)

Agghh, I love Kristin's book! xDDD "Blend of color." *looks at Idinda.* "..." *moves on* Attacking bubbles was just fun. Because...they were...bubbles...attacking. Hell yeah. And the FLOWER!! This scene will NEVER get old! Ever..! XD I love watching both their faces... Jennifer looks so calm at first, and then she purses her lips and sticks out her tongue... Shoshana is just in hysterics. xDD "Bee-bye"...? Someone's been watching too much Lucky Star... A great collection. x3

This is like the 50th time I've seen this and I'm always feel like I have to correct the lines the Elphabas forget. Oh well. This never gets old!!

I love how bloopers in broadway shows can help to make it more of an experience! I remember when i saw the wizard of oz and the dog that played toto pooed on the stage and they couldn't clean it up so they had to keep skipping over it and ad lib it in till a stage hand could clean up! The dog was very naughty through the whole thing

Love watching bloopers!

i LOVE Shoshana's little spazzy moment. genius!

Transcription of Kristen's ad-lib because it's hard to hear: "I wrote a book: 'How To Be Popular.' Now, I've put together a top ten list of how I'm gonna help you. - Elphie, every day... Shower. Who knows? Maybe some of that greens gonna come off. - Deodorant, Elphie. No one likes a stinky witch. - I think we've covered the hair, we'll get to that. - Clean underclothes.... That's all I'm gonna say. - Look at your posture! That's no way to be popular! - Bed made, room straightened, we've done that. - Colors blended... But the most important thing to have to make yourself popular is to keep your beautiful smile."

Brilliant, although I have to say that some of the stuff from kerry's last matinee yesterday with the jokes and additions in that were amazing too...especially having doctor dillamond both talking and singing in an italian accent throughout.

This is why theatre is 100 000 times better than movies and pre-recorded shows and everything else, just because of the fact everything can go wrong but still be so good and the thrill of watching all this amazing stuff happen :)

It is! Wish I could remember how to find it; it's great how potential disasters like that get turned into even better comedy than the audience expects!

i love this one with kristens last popular,, idinas just sat there. laughing. the whole time.

the flower thing was awesome

What I love about these audiences is that a lot of them KNOW when something is odd or out of place but that's WHY it's funny! Lol!

I almost cried at that part because I was laughing so damn hard.

i love the ad-lib Kristen added for her last performance I did Popular with my friend for the Talent Show at camp and I added the lib into it :D

it´s hard to impress the audience ... but it´s harder to make them laugh :-) great xD

I actually think the swatting the bubbles was kind of a Glinda-y thing to do -- at least Glinda in Wicked! I know it wasn't written that way but I'd be surprised if people who hadn't seen the show before even knew that something was out of the ordinary.

That last part, I don't think it was really laughing cause she was probably feeling it too, and you know how some people when they start to do a happy cry, you have a small giggle. Like a bitter sweet moment, and that was perfect!

I LOVE IDINA AND KRISTEN!!!!-3 the ad lib was hilarious!!! An when Idina "laughed" it was more lik a nervous/ sad laugh that alot of people do when they see someone cry! I found it kinda adorable lol

All the Idina and Kristin ones are the best - except the last one which is so so sad. Kristin cried so much in that show and they both really cried in 'for good'. They were such good friends. Thats why they were so brilliant for the parts of Elphie and Glinda; they actually meant every word they said and every line they sang. If Wicked ever becomes a movie, they HAVE to bring chenzel back!!! And Wicked had BETTER become a movie!

Geez, Shoshana Bean has a hilarious..hum "spazz". xD She's awesome!

All the Sikhs(seeks)in the audience like...”I KNEW IT”

The sound clip of that moment is posted in the beginning of "Wicked Bloopers and Funny Moments Part 2" Just listened to it. Fabulous! Looove K. Chen!

My favorite is Kristen adlibing. That is Hilarious!

everytime i see annaleigh and those bubbles, i can't help but crack up.

Soap can make you sneeze, she had little choice than to wave the bubbles away.

I love how Jennifer Laura Thompson practically climbs on Shoshana! :)
