So what's the story here? What with her wearing a trouser suit in the second picture - does she suddenly "stop conforming" and fly?
LMAO. Sorry. However much I love Kerry, I do find this hilarious for some reason. Can Dianne make a cameo please? LOL.
The credit for the photos goes to http://www.daveschool.com/news2.php
Okay I asked them to show me it.
Let us know if you hear anything back.
This looks kind of bizarre, though I love Kerry's voice. Her INTG on the special 2-disk edition= 
LOL, the first pic made me burst out laughing. Can't wait to see the video, though!
Oh, this is going to be soo cheesy! But somehow, I cannot wait...
Asif! thats hilarious.
This killed me with laughter; she just doesnt stop!
I say good on her for trying!

how random!!! Dunno how i feel about this
do anyone know when the music video will be out? i searched everyone but can't find it, only the audio...
^ No idea, but I must say: I love the idea of a musicvideo of Kerry!
Like: Maybe the normal audience will get to know her too, and maybe she'll release the clip in Holland!
*dreams*

this is going to be, like, the cheesiest thing ever.
something I'd be embarrassed and yet impossibly compelled to watch.

I CANNOT wait for this, it's going to be so appallingly cheesey that it will be hilarious.
Oh and Felix Felicis, Catgiraffe posted the link to where the photos came from and it kinda explains it on there but not really
If you're on NOBY, all the info is on the Wicked In Rock thread on there. That's where the original poster of this thread got their info from...

"DAVE School students produce music video for "Wicked" Star
Orlando, FL. On Oct. 13-14, Block 4 students finished a shoot for their DAVE School final project. The class is creating a music video for Broadway star Kerry Ellis, who can be seen as Elphaba the green witch in the hit musical Wicked. Working with producer Brian May, legendary guitarist and creative backbone of Queen, Kerry has recorded standalone rock versions of the songs "Defying Gravity" and "I'm Not That Girl" from Wicked and "No One But You" from We Will Rock You, a musical set to the hits of Queen. "This idea started about six months ago. We were looking at future Block 4 projects and had always talked about doing a music video. I ran across "Defying Gravity" and thought this would be a perfect song to use." School Founder and Project Director Jeff Scheetz continues, "I had visions of all kinds of cool Wizard of Oz and Wicked themes we could work with." Kerry's manager Jorg Betts was intrigued enough to put Scheetz in contact with May and his client to work out the details. "They loved the idea of doing a project with us, but had no interest in doing a Wicked-themed video." Instead May proposed an idea that had Kerry flying over New York, London, and beyond without the use of a broomstick. DAVE School instructor Jason Pichon proposed a storyboard based on May's idea and it was approved. The trick was finding a shoot day. Kerry's role on Broadway only gives her one day off a week, but she does have an understudy. Theater managers were gracious enough to allow Kerry two full shoot days in Florida in what was the last month of her Broadway engagement. "We planned to shoot Kerry in many locations and settings, but once we realized we only had two days, we reworked the idea to film exclusively on a green screen stage," Block 4 instructor Jon Gress explained. Scheetz adds, "Good thing too because it rained all day! If we were outside, we would have been in big trouble. "The shoot allowed students to be a part of the filming both in front of and behind the camera. They got a chance to help out as part of the crew and to be extras filling the New York City Streets. "When working on set you really get to see how all aspects of a production take shape. It makes you that much more dedicated to the final project when you're involved from the beginning", said student Caleb Stone. Scheetz adds, "Kerry did an amazing job. She had to hang from wires in a flying harness for hours yet poured her soul into each and every take". For the next six weeks students will be replacing the green backdrops with footage they create using computer animation. Gress said, "It's always great to work with outside talent like Kerry and Brian, because it sets the bar even higher. This is the video she is using to launch her career as a serious rock artist and we need it to look like it was done by high-end studios in NY or LA. We have a lot of work to do, but somehow it will be done by Christmas!"
The three song demo called "Wicked in Rock" is only available at http://www.dresscircle.co.uk/product.asp?StockID=33943. When Kerry returns to her home in London, and the West End production of Wicked, next month she and May plan to record additional tracks for a US album release."

.... Um. Hmmm.
I'm not going to judge until I see it but....
I guess we'll just wait to see how it turns out but....
I just don't know what to think of it.
