I am just wtahing this for my drama teacher XD

Hey theater students and aspring techies: Listen to a 73-year old IATSE stagehand who's played in the business since he was 12 and has worked "Wicked" three times as a local. Get well-acquainted with the whole picture. Start as soon as you can in local theater but only do it if you can also be a good student. Learn electricity. Learn sound. Learn carpentry and be able to weld. Be willing to work any department if only to broaden your knowledge of how we all work as a team. Study well in your sciences as they will all have a bearing on your ultimate success. Learn set and lighting design and learn how to run lighting consoles and sound boards. Be on time (and that doesn't mean when the curtain goes up!) and show up with the proper tools. ALWAYS. Work safely and healthy and most importantly, understand the benefits of union membership and the benefits of collective bargaining and working under a fair contract. And finally, take pride working in a business that employs some of the finest people in the world and can be damn fun, if you follow its rules.

anyone else here for drama homework ?😀 🤚🏻

This is crazy. The amount of time and effort put into this whole production must have been insane.

The wizard puppet is JAW DROPPINg

Interesting! I always thought the person who plays The Wizard operates the Oz head.

"What's important in set design for the THEATRE, especially for musicals, is not only what it LOOKS like but how it FUNCTIONS; transition from one scene to the next scene is actually more important often than what it ultimately looks like."

Just wanted to share... I really want to take a course related to art...I love making stuffs,crafts,props,articulating costumes at my young age, Art gives me life...I hope I can pass the exam for taking Bachelor of Arts in Theater Arts. This video inspired me *ALOT*

I’ve literally watched this video at Least 10 times, and every time I find myself in awe with how incredibly intricate and deeply thought out every single detail is. Mind blowing.

Theater Major doing theater HW 🙋🏽‍♂️lol

Fantastic. I'd love to put my 45 years of woodworking, sculpting, and faux art to work in such an environment.

Absolutely amazing! This is so inspiring to watch. Thank you so much for sharing the video.

This was fantastic... A remarkable insight! I could watch this stuff for hours!!

I love wicked I love broadway and I love the time they put into it every night holy cow!

As a set design kind of person this is the coolest thing ever

pov: your drama teacher told u to watch this......

I have seen Wicked 10 times. Best show on the West End.

This was such a great interview

There is more money spent on LX than sets in most productions these days. More and more shows are being played to black tabs. Mostly in provincial theatres. It is so important to fight back and bring the set designer and construction artistes back into theatre. Otherwise it will be lost forever. Actors can only play in a space that transports the actors and the audience to that time, space, and place where they are supposed to be.

As a new Playwright working on producing my first youth musical I appreciate this💚💚

Enjoyed this so much! thanks for filming this

I love it...it inspire me to pursue my passion in acting and besides is set design

This is really interesting! I never knew all the things that went on behind the scenes.

Love wicked

this is amazing !!

Wonderful!

Theater technology Homework haha

Amazing

I really wanted to see Wicked when I was there years ago, but we couldn't get tickets... WOW.. I hope the pandemic doesn't close this down before I get to see it...!! (or I don't die first!)

I need to see more!!!!!!!!!!

O my god thiss changed my life so much I am so grateful! This is amazing! Wow!

What a nice man. Loved “Wicked”!

What experience led this set designer to choose this profession? What does he call the small set they look at, at the start of the video? What evidence is there that the set designer needs to know the script really well? Can you finish the following sentence at the time 4.03 in the video? "What's important in set design for the theatre, especially for musicals, is....." What does a designer need to think about to help focus the audience's sightlines and visual attention? Can you name one safety feature the designer needed to build into the set? Is research important to a designer?

My left ear enjoyed that

I'm so excited wtf

Soooooo grrrreeeaattt love it!!!!

💚W💚I💚C💚K💚E💚D💚

Hoping to see wicked at the mayflower southampton 🇬🇧 uk hope its this impressive ❤❤❤

wow

it's amazing...but would have loved to have seen the mechanics for Elphabas DG.

You'd think he'd mention Eugene Lee, who came up with the entire design concept.

Really cool video, these are some great designs. Audio's a little off, I kinda would have preferred to have both voices equal in both ears rather than each dominating an earpiece.

omg i love this musical and i got set school work to watch this!

i hate online school sm @.@

It truly is just like the movie "the man behind the curtain "

Good video, bro

How come Eugene Lee, the actual set designer of the show, is not mentioned? Wasn't Eugene Lee the scenic designer? Why does it sound like his contributions were not acknowledged?

Wicked Behind The scenes of Wicked 2021

tech theatre 3 :)

Great video! Im a playwright who has autism!! I would love to do a video with you talking about my play!!

Hey wassup if your from Alvarados class and ur doing online school rn ☹️

man still hearts comments

I am involved in theater myself & I always try to find out every secret myself as well. I kept thinking to myself was Joel gray taught how to operate the oz head? This video proves Joel was not trained to move the oz head at all.

i want to make this design in my country 🇳🇵 nepal

Nessa Rose is my absolute favorite

What happened to the sound? EDIT: Now it's fine. Weird.

PLAY GAMES!!!!

It took me until watching this just now to understand what all the cogs and things were incorporated in the set design for. Still don't care for the show.

Wicked = satanic show.
