Also, I want to take a moment to shoutout Lissa deGuzman as Elphaba and Jennafer Newberry as Glinda. I saw them both as leads on tour, and it was great to see them reunited on Broadway. Being a standby is a very hard job, and both of these actors are top notch and gave killer performances. Everyone please send them love!!! Wicked is in amazing hands with them! 💜

This honestly just seems like Glinda would place herself here on purpose, so it works 😂

[DrexelGregory]

Legend has it she’s still there to this day

I saw Wicked in 2005 in St Louis. Glinda was Kendra Kassebaum. The bubble broke during No One Mourns the Wicked. They stopped the show and then 30 min later they restarted. When they yelled Look it’s Glinda. Kendra walked on stage. No bubble the rest of the night. During the finale when Glinda does her speech. She just stood on stage same spot just a few feet away from Stephanie. Memorable show for sure.

Hey at least it was the END of the show, and it also looked semi intentional to those not used to how it’s supposed to go, up until the stage manager came out 🤣 Then it was like “Oop she got stuck”

[stormbob]

Poor Jennafer just standing there waving like Miss America, being a good sport about it while probably scared that she just lives in the bubble forever now, while this poor tech guy has to figure out wtf they're going to do about it.

[bartvos]

Well we can't all come and go by bubble! You can't indeed

[CaptMatrixx]

I feel like there was an automation failure considering the torch also didnt go off stage, seemed like they had to manually close the curtain, and the side cogs didnt come together to make the curtain fit

[Shadowlina]

Glinda: Gasp! I get a moment to defy gravity! 'No wizard that there is or was, Is ever gonna bring me down!!!!' ...No, but, really, guys. Let me down. Halp.
😂🤣

And the well was still there too 😭 Also didn't something similar happen with Lindsay Pearce after Defying Gravity where she was just left up there without a curtain down

the broadway stage starting to fall apart after 20 years

They were all so professional. I bet many in the audience didn't even know about the faux pas by the way they handled the situation. At the same time they whole cast seemed to be loving it. The stage hand was so good at making sure she was okay. It must be great to have such a dedicated team behind you in these circumstances.

[joaovictoripiraja]

This is how it should be. Glinda's perfection separated her from others to the point of becoming a messianic figure. The show is about Elphaba's courage to find herself. The relationship between the two witches was platonic, so pure, so crystalline. Like a "ship blown from its mooring, by a wind off the sea; A seed dropped by a sky bird in a distant wood". I mean, by simple chance.

[dorydoesdrawing]

seen the curtain call before, but I would’ve otherwise thought that this was how it was meant to be, it seemed quite natural and they acted through it grrat

[wickedeveryday]

Where's the understudy bubble? Do we need to call Carla Stickler?

[sheismymom]

I wonder if she ever got down or if they left her up there for the night

[kmetzz]

These things are funny but also a little scary. She is brave indeed!

[elaineb]

Now that must have been really embarrassing and quite funny as well for the actress! At least Glinda was flying!! Wonder how long it took to get her down?😊

[jgilc]

Damn computers today! Back in my day; we hand cranked everything. And it worked just fine!

She wore a crown and she came down in a BUBBLE dog
