I know, I'm odd. Sue me.

When you saw WICKED, did you cry at all, for any reason?

I cried during Defying Gravity, as soon as the cherry picker went up. I didn't realize I was crying until the house lights came up... I was kind of weirded out. lol


Anyways, did you cry, and why?

[Trevor]

I cried. Out of sheer boredome.

[broadwaybelle22]

I cried when the show first started, but I do that at every show. It's just such a powerful feeling.

[What Is This Feeling?]

I had major goosebumps. I had a total of 23 theatergasms while in the Gershwin

[PappyCat]

I cried during Defying Gravity. Not like, weeping, but a couple of trickling tears kind of thing. It was just overwhelming. I cried at Hairspray, too, though.

[reedzee]

I cried during Defying Gravity, and during For Good.


But I cry over everything. Movies, books, musicals, you name it.

I've seen the show 5 times, and I didn't cry the first three times I saw it (in Chicago), but I cried the 4th, (in London) when Idina first ran out on stage, which had little to do with the show, but with the fact I was sitting front row centre and Idina was standing right in front of me, and after flying from the middle of the US just to see her, in that moment of actually seeing her, it hit home and I started crying. Her pain in Defying Gravity that night was particularly palpable and it caused a few tears then as well, and of course during For Good. Frankly during For Good I'd probably have felt bad if I wasn't crying! Helen was genuinely balling, and this was late October! I cried when I met Idina afterward, but that really has little to do with the actual show.

[What Is This Feeling?]

[wicked_boy]

Not really, but during For Good and the melting scene I had that funny feeling of being "lost", does anyone else get that feeling, and all your insides go wierd?

I've never actually cried at Wicked. I always tear up during For Good though.

[Elfie Lou]

I cried near the end when Elphie "melted" it was such a sad moment.

[music is my life!!!]

i always tear up when i'm watchin it on the net but really intense songs like defying gravity always give me chills even by just listening to it!

[star2ballie]

I cried because I felt bad for Idina.

[wicked_boy]

[Bookworm]

I sniffled a bit during For Good. Mainly, I was just shocked throughout the whole show, especially when she melted. I'm not sure why, I just didn't expect a musical to end like that. I was shocked when it didn't end like that, though, too, when the lights came up for another scene.

[musicalmaniac396]

i cried during for good! It has a special meaning to me!

[pish123c]

[reedzee]

I get this strange feeling at the end of shows, or after I read a really good book. It's hard to explain. I guess the best adjective to describe it would be "empty".

[SmallTownIngenue]

I was crying during the finale when Glinda and Elphie were singing "For Good" again. That's after my huge gasp when Elphie came out of the trap door.

[wicked_boy]

[EarlCarpenterFan]

Yeah, I found Defying Gravity very overwhelming and teared up a little. However, during For Good I was sobbing, I don't think I've ever cried so much during a show-even Phantom (and I'm a huge phan!)

[Mistress]

[akariverdancer]

ok so im a guy and i hardly ever cry however when i first got the wicked soundtrack (this was before i saw the show) i for some reason started crying during defying gravity and during for good. then when i saw the show i started bawling my head off at the end when elphie cant go back to glinda to tell her she is ok, (the moment when elphie pops out of the trap door) and i could not stop crying till about 20 minutes after the final curtain call,(i felt like a total idiot) the show was so amazing and the music so empowering that i couldnt stop crying...ya i also felt weird when elphie melted

I cried during Defying Gravity, not like bawling just tears streaming down my face. And I cried during For Good, especially since my very best friend was sitting next to me (in our front row center orchestra seats!)

[wickedboy]

[theatre_grl]

i almost never cry at shows--i think the only time i really cried was at the end of poto.
but i do get emotional, i almost cried a couple of times in wicked:
after elphie melted and glinda comes out and says 'elphie?'
and at the very end where glinda and elphie do a sorta half-reprise of For Good

[*BroadwayLights*]

While watching the show, I cried for the first time during "I'm Not That Girl." I knew that I would be worse when "Defying Gravity" came, and of course I was. I started tearing up when Elphie began to sing "I can't want it anymore," and as soon as she was lifted off of the ground, I was pretty much soaked. Then I stopped for a little while, and started up again during "No Good Deed," when she belts "FIYEEEEERRROOOOOO!" Then, during "For Good," I was crying, then again when Elphie "melted," and again at the end when Elphie and Glinda came out for their bows. I am an emotional person.

[The Very Angry Woman]

[defyinggravityxxx]

i cried when i first heard the music start cuz i was finally seeing it.
then i cried when julia murney defyied gravity cuz i was deeply moved. and i have been waiting a long time to see that!

DG was the best min and 34 ses of my life. i couldnt move when the house lights went on again. i was frozen and bauling.

[i'm_back]

this musical pulled so many emotions out of me.

I was laughing so hard at Popular it was ridiculous, like I even did a knee slap.

And I did cry. During "For Good." It was so touching. I didn't cry during "Defying Gravity" I think I was just extremely mesmerized.

[*__ElphieTheWitch__*]

Well, I haven't cried during the show...which surprises me. I've seen it twice, yet I'm weeping on the inside, but not crying on the outside. It completely shocks me when I don't cry during For Good. I almost did last time, but no tears came, just choked on a sob. I've been kinda numb since my Grandma's passing, but I MIGHT see it again next year.....Most likely, so I might cry then. I'm weird, I know.

[Quique]

I didn't cry. But "Defying Gravity" definitely was a showstopping moment.

[WickedlyGreen23]

I cried because I was finally seeing Wicked! The songs I've listened to a hundred times, now all up there on a stage, for reals, live. I was just blown away. I also cried when it was over because I didn't want it to be over.

[Eponine93]

I always cry a little when a show is over, because I know it'll be a few months before I get back in the city to see another one.

As for Wicked, I got a little teary-eyed during "Defying Gravity" and then in the finale, because I thought it was really stupid and cheesy for the show to have a happy ending.

[Lepitot]

I didn't cry at all, although the lady next to me was. I don't generally cry that much.

I was actually really disappointed with Defying Gravity. Something was just...off. They were on key, but the performances just didn't seem very powerful. And, it was hard for me to understand the words (I could pick them out, but that's mostly because I have it memorized.) And, it might have been cause i was in the balcony (seeing her rise into the air isn't as impressive if you're still looking down at her.)

But, the rest of the show was fantastic.

[wicked_boy]

[Wicked_Freak]

I haven't seen the play, but my friend told me about it, and now when I hear "No Good Deed" i feel like rying.

[ClaraNaccarelli]

The first time I saw it I was a basketcase during For Good.
