Gosh! It's like Marcie jumped on a plane just to take that picture lol! I wonder what her voice sounds like?

Ooooh, I like the Copenhagen picture much more than the other pictures we've seen from that production. I really like the Glinda's wig, it's got gorgeous curls!

It looks like a For Good picture. Are they keeping the basic plot of the musical, and just writing their own music?

I thought they were keeping the music the same but changing the book and costumes/set?

Thats right. They are NOT changing anything that Stephen Schwartz wrote besides translating the lyrics and libretto into Danish.

Oooo, lack of photoshop and picture awesomeness. I am pleased.

I'm not really understanding. How is what Denmark is doing different from what Germany and Japan did?

They'll have different costumes, sets, lighting, choreography, staging, etc. The only things that will remain the same are the book and score (translated into Danish).

i really like the messy elphie wig and actually even though that hat is a little bit too big, i also like it better...i dont like the ruffle on the present ones, i prefer old school with just the flip of the brim like idina had

It's outside of the regular Wicked franchise, basically.

It's akin to having the rights released and amateur productions picking it up, except that they haven't been released and this production isn't exactly amateur.

Thus, the music & lyrics & libretto stay the same, but the set/costumes are whatever they can come up with (based on funds, materials, etc.), basically.

Wicked Copenhagen

I LOVE THE NO GOOD DEED ONE.
Wow.

Thanks for the pics, but you should really remove them and just post the links. They take forever to load on this page.

I agree. I can't view that page because my computer rolls over and dies.

Here is my best translation of the press release...

The New Theatre has acquired the rights to the greatest musical success on Broadway and in London's West End: the musical phenomenon WICKED. WICKED - The Witches of Oz has music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz. The manuscript, which is by Winnie Holzman, is based on Gregory Maguire's bestseller novel of the same name. WICKED was well received after the world premiere at the Gershwin Theatre on Broadway in 2003, winning 20 awards, including three Tony Awards. The musical has succedded since the world premiere in 2003, and was and still is Broadway's biggest popular success, while the performances week by week generates the highest turnover. After the premiere on Broadway WICKED set up in London, Stuttgart, Osaka, Melbourne and most recently in Sydney.In all these places WICKED has beaten all previous audience records. All previous configurations of WICKED have been reproductions of the Broadway setup. The New Theatre is the first theatre that's been authorized to make the theater's own production, adapted to the New Theatre. This exceptional permission has the history that WICKED's composer Stephen Schwartz in Copenhagen as the New Theatre setup of Disney's The Beauty and the Beast, as he was very enthusiastic(not sure what they're trying to say here).
WICKED is expected to premiere at New Theatre next season.

A MUSICAL - TWO WITCHES - INFINITELY magic!

WICKED - Witches of Oz allocates audience in a fantastic world full of magic, witchcraft and magic. The musical, set in the magical kingdom of Oz, gives the answer to how the good witch was good and the wicked witch became wicked. The beautiful and expenses(?) Glinda and Elphaba, who avoids all, because she was born with green skin, meet in an unusual friendship. The musical is also about power and its abuse, but first and foremost about tolerance, to be different and to stand for one's beliefs.

Hopefully it's clear enough to convey the general idea.

Alright, I uploaded smaller versions with click-through links. Should be a bit easier on your comps now.

Much better, thanks.

I think Copenhagen's Glinda looks a little bit on the older side... just my opinion, though.

Yeah, she looks like she's pushing 50.

I wouldn't say Elphaba looks too young either, though.

Yes, but with the Elphie makeup, it's always so much harder to give an actual age.

I think those are just bad pics. Glinda didn't look old in the one that was photoshopped. Unless...

The ones that were photoshopped were from a totally different production in Helsinki. They are compared in this thread:
http://www.witchesofoz.com/wicked_boards/i...showtopic=34496

Whoa, I totally got those confused.

As did I. How many of these productions are going around, then??

Those are the only two that I know of.

Are they both sanctioned? Which is the one that's been talked about in the press releases and stuff? They seem awfully close (proximity-wise) to both be the first official productions outside the franchise... or maybe it's just me?

Sorry, OT I know.

The one that's being talked about it the Danish one. The Helsinki(which is in Finland, right?) one is the one everyone is uneasy about because of the cheap costumes and photoshop.

Some tiny Oberhausen photos.

Am I the only one that thinks Glinda looks like she's falling out of her bubble in the last one?

^ Ha! Just a little bit!

Major win at finally having a picture of the Elphie/Glinda dance! It's one of the most important parts of the show and IMO more beautiful than "For Good".

She sort of looks like she's holding on to the top of the bubble. Like her feet should be dangling or something.

Love those pics though, thanks for sharing!
