We could really learn a thing or two about how to make our websites look from them. That website is f*****G* AMAZING!!!

If I wasn't convinced before (which I was), I certainly am now! I'm going! At once!

OH. MY. GOD........ The website looks amzing! I knew Japan was good with their graphics.... but man, to do a website like that for a show that JUST opened and has an open ended run? Wow.....

Watched teh proshot, nd had alot of fun... it's way better than their old one nd the images were so CLEAR! ANd they sounded so awesoem! And I'd been looking all over for AGES for an ALAYM clip in Japanese.... now Im happy It's funny listening to WITF? because I kinda understand what they're saying....

Now I really wana see it in Japna... too bad I went to Japan last year instead of this year....

Wow....that's the best out of all Wicked proshots! I mean, it captures SO much of the show's magic! Oh and the japanese Elphaba is GORGEOUS! Not to mention they sound awesome!

One word........ WOW!!

I loved it!! Cant wait to see this production.

I love how they made her hair move and the black part wave like a cape!

Wow, that was..... wow... even though I can't understand what they were saying, it still sounded really good, and the cast sounds good too

WOW. By far THE coolest Wicked site, no offense lol. I love the entire layout!

I wish you could download the background music because it totally beats the kareoke CD

I wish I could put the video on Youtube... I think alot of people would like to see it.

wow...i'm officially in love with wicked in japan! they sound sweet!!!!!! :bow:

One of the coolest proshots out of any of the productions! Oh man, that was fantastic. Great closeups, great variety of shots. It was never really stagnant or dull to look at. Some of the cutting was a weee bit...excessive at times, but overall great promo.

First thing: There website designer needs to design the rest of the productions sites. Second thing: AAAAAAMAZING proshots. Third thing: Someone take me to japan!

I found out a couple days ago that the actress who plays Elphaba, Hamada Megumi, also played Aida in the Shiki Theatre Company's prouduction of "Aida." It's really not much of a surprise. Here are some clips of her...

aaaaah *squeals* :D

Yeah, why can't we have the people that designed the Japan website design the US one? It was cool like 4 years ago when the show opened, but times have changed. I really like the Elphaba with the flowing hair and cape waving. It's awesome. Seriously, that cast gave me chills. The Elphaba is amazing.

Holy crap--that website design is amazing. Love the Time Dragon at the top.

It looks and sounds thrilling. I'm hoping I can get overseas to catch it. (or at least the German production)

I was thinking the exact same thing!

I have a program that records any audio from the computer and makes it into an mp3. I am using that to get the no good deed instrumental!

um. thats been there since the site opened.

what is the program called? thanks
