--Oh, it's beautiful!
Can people go get this now? --You can get it at intermission beauty. Find them
on the net on the webs.
--Wow it's gorgeous.
--And it's called Unlimited. --Oh and
it looks so good on you. --And I called it
that because you know duh. And then also
because that's what I do with my warm ups as you might know. I do like
unlimited! Unlimited! Warm. She's warm
--Hi Broadway.com. Coming to you from backstage.
So, this week is really exciting we are um shooting something that I can't
really tell you exactly what it is, but I will tell you that you need to tune in
to NBC on October 29 to 10:00 p.m. for a special Wicked anniversary concert. We're
having rehearsals for a section of it today, so we're going over some vocals
and some
dance stuff. So, stay tuned.
--We're getting ready for a special event!
--Hey.
--Hannah. Antoinette! Mary Bet. Spencer! Hi Spencer.
Oh he's busy. He's busy. He's busy. Spencer, okay guys this is Spencer Bell. Spencer
what do you do here at Wicked? --I am the assistant prop man
--Spencer, you're so
awesome. He keeps the wands wanderful --It's a punny day
--Oh
okay. Bye.
--Guys, I'm so excited. A lot of you have been asking me about the music
department and the amazing Orchestra. This is David Peppin. He's one of our
conductors here. David how long have you been with Wicked?
--Well, this time, I've
been with Wicked for many years, but this time two years. Around the
time. --Yeah that's right
--Yeah pretty close
--That's right and what what advice would
you give to somebody who's wanting to get into the into music and into the New
York music scene?
--Practice and listen to all different styles of music. Listen to
tons and tons of music, of every imaginable kind. Work on those, and then
meet lots of people. --Awesome. What did you
say? You were on Fly Girl? --Oh yeah, this is
--Y'all Josh Maszel making a reprise appearance.
Guys, this is Josh Maszel. He's our he's our mixer, keeps us sounding fresh. Josh,
how long you been with Wicked? --Five years
--Josh, where'd you go to college? --Carnegie Mellon just
--Hey! --Yeah, so fun fact we both
went to the same college! Not at the same time though. Barely!
We just missed
each other. --Like by eight years?
--By eight years... yeah there we go.
--Um, so how did you know
that you wanted to do this with your life?
--I didn't. It just sort of found me I guess. I just sort of I just start doing
sound
I took it as an elective.
--Is it like a lot
of pressure to do this every night because you're in charge of so much and
it's just you?
--Well. I gotta have a team backstage too so
if something goes wrong then you know I can I can point to them. I'm
just kidding. No, you can't think about the pressure. You can't think about
the pressure like when you're on stage. You can't think about that you've
just think about what's what's happening in the moment. There are a million things that could go wrong.
--You must have this show really minutely memorized right?
Every single thing --Yeah, and
not just the show, but your show, versus Emily' sshow, versus Lindsay's show. You
know, when someone else goes on, we have to know, in our heads, how they say each
line just differently.
--What advice would you give to like let's say a high
schooler or somebody in college who wants to go into this field?
--I'd say be
quiet and listen. Because you are you gonna learn to so much
more listening than and then trying to prove to someone that you know something.
Everyone doesn't need to know everything, but you need to be willing to ask
someone if you don't know something.
Also no one likes when someone knows everything.
--That's so awesome. Well thank you for your time Josh! --Thanks
--I'll see you see you in the bubble! --Okay
--Jessica Vosk!

turn a bed, and then turn it again. And then exit the stage. that happens in the
prologue. --Mm-hmm
--So, my pre-show ritual. Sometimes, I lay on
the couch and take a nap. Sometimes I text my friends. Sometimes I walk around
in the hallways and talk to people. And then when I have about like
five minutes before the show starts, I cover my tattoo on my wrist with some makeup
and then I put a big coat on and I turn the bed.

dressing room and say hi to you. --Yes you do
