The book is amazing, though you have to make sure you've got, like, a whole day to read it, you won't want to put it down! I had the misfortune to start reading it at about seven o'clock at night, and didn't finish it until four the next morning! xxStellaxx
Aw I just love where it talks about Elphie fitting in...I'm a total Elphie-girl...fave character, and idk i just love her!!!!!!! +Idina was the best Elphie there ever was/is...NO QUESTIONS ASKED =]
This is amazing. Thanks for posting. Helen is....okay....but Kristin will always remain the best Glinda in my mind. And, of course, Idina IS Elphaba! She really puts herself into the role....she's the best Elphaba ever. And is it just me, or does the song sound like it was slowed down a LOT?
WICKED IS AWESOME. i have only seen vids of the US one but i dnt like there Glinda. Helen was amasing when i saw it, and sooo funni. I thort Adam's pronouncation of 'dancing' in dancing through life funni. its really not over dictated. UK RULES :P
In the London version, or it might just be this performance, I don't know, Elphaba seems a lot more like the character from the book. Normally she differs quite a bit, but she seems more like the Elphaba I imagined when I read the book. Just an observation. xxStellaxx
Oh. God, I feel dumb. Sorry if my comments have been offensive to people. It's just that, if I don't know someone's name, then I call them by whatever name I hear used with them. Like this guy that I really, really like. From March 2006 to Octoberish 2006, I just called him "the dead pilot guy from Steel Pier".
The outfits used in Wicked can be put into three categories; outfits you would want added to your wardrobe, and outfits that you might wear on Halloween (for fun, not scaring people), and outfits that you would wear on Halloween to scare the ^#@% out of people. Most of Glinda's outfits would probably fit in the first category for most girls.
To add to my laest comment, I usually just skip the intro of this vid,so I never caught Idina's name. And I'm not totally ignorant. Idina was in the original Wicked, too. But the CD sounded a little better.
when you see the real thing the whole stage lights up and the whole theatre is coverd in little green lights. This is one of the best songs in the uk production. in america they made defying gravity the best. but i have to say when i saw this in the uk i was so serprised it made defiying look dull!
They haven't even announced a movie project yet, have they? Either way...If Idina and Kristen don't want to do it then you can't force them. I would love to see them and Federer, Butz and everyone else in it should they make it.
elphabe is the original american actress from broadway. the uk glinda, actually sounds like glinda from the film the wizard of oz. i've seen it both on broadway and in the west end, and it was by far better in London.
The British Elphaba and Glinda weren't screeching so much as singing in their nose a little too much. And when everyone comes in to sing "Sharing one wonderful one short", everyone wasn't together, so it sounded like a snake hissing at first. Sorry.
Has anyone else noticed Helen Dalimore gets her notes wrong when she sings/says "To make my life and make my way"? It's really irritating, when people pick on Idina so much (not on this video so much, but other ones) and then don't notice the other one! I love Idina, no Wicked production is quite right without her, and London is seriously missing out now she's not there. I'm not sure I even want to see it, now she's left. I mean, no one could EVER be as good as her. xxStellaxx
i think Kristin and Idina click better with the roles of best friends, but i think Helen's voice sounds better with Idinas. I think Kristins voice is a little...hmmm I guess "breathy" is the best word i can think of. I think Helen can hold the notes better
I'm sorry, I misjudged you. I didn't mean to attack you, I just hate it when people are mean to other people, especially to boys who act and sing. I hate High School Musical too, but I love Wicked. xxStellaxx
don't go criticsizing when you can't even spell the name right ok? It's Elphaba, and it's not surprising she sounds like Idina, as Idina is playing her!! xxStellaxx
the only part that i didnt like was that you could tell that the actors were british. when kerry was elphie there was only a few parts that you could tell that she was british. in this you can tell that even is british except idina
AAAAAHHHHHHH! What have those dang Brits DONE? They pronounced too many constanents and their Glinda and Elphabe sounded like they were screeching, not singing.
Hm...I don't think I like the Brittish accents. I like the r always being super harsh on 'short'. It makes the word stand out more. I think Brittish accents are gorgeous but I think I like the American better on this song.
What's wrong with a boy singing? And what does it matter if it's went for women? If he likes the song, he's allowed to sing it! If you don't like musicals, you're in the wrong place honey. xxStellaxx
not to offend anyone, but this glinda is rather annoying...she sings through her nose and it almost seems like she is competing with idina rather than trying to sing with her....just my opinion though :)
hahah totally, maybe shes better as someone.... not glinda. lol, her high pitched voice made me turn the volume down. i'm sorry but its just too much. i never really liked her. what i hate the most is her screaming in the scenes shes in. it gives me a headache. and i dont think glinda would really sound like that
GOOO IDINA MENZEL!
You are the most amazing woman in the world!!!
brilliant!!!
The book is amazing, though you have to make sure you've got, like, a whole day to read it, you won't want to put it down! I had the misfortune to start reading it at about seven o'clock at night, and didn't finish it until four the next morning!
xxStellaxx
wonderful
"And my spellbinding collegues from Wicked"
XDD I so laughed at that one! Deja vu!
Adam Garcia = HOT!!! Great vid!!
Idina is amazing!
I love Elphaba's shoes!
Aw I just love where it talks about Elphie fitting in...I'm a total Elphie-girl...fave character, and idk i just love her!!!!!!! +Idina was the best Elphie there ever was/is...NO QUESTIONS ASKED =]

Adam Garcia *sigh* goin 2 c it agen on thursday! cant wait!
WICKED IS AWESOME. i have only seen vids of the US one but i dnt like there Glinda. Helen was amasing when i saw it, and sooo funni. I thort Adam's pronouncation of 'dancing' in dancing through life funni. its really not over dictated. UK RULES :P
I think she was talking about the ensemble lol
Wicked rocks!!!
i second that. i haven't seen kerry and Dianne, but i have seen idina and kristen.
Idina is amazing. helen...well....
True Wizard if Oz fans will recognize the Hammer-Heads for Frank Baum’s books!
u guys should see the real broadway show of Wicked its FANTASTIC!!!!!!!
i saw it last week too. in LA.
wasn't it amazing?
i want some glasses like them!
I just noticed that this is the exact same script used at the Tony Award's when Idina won! hehe
yeah, it reminds me of when Michael Flatley left Riverdance.... T_T
In the London version, or it might just be this performance, I don't know, Elphaba seems a lot more like the character from the book. Normally she differs quite a bit, but she seems more like the Elphaba I imagined when I read the book. Just an observation.

Enyaangel - what do you think of Enya's 'Amarantine' album?

I absolutely agree with you. I'm a singer, and it's just bizarre singing them in an english accent! x
To add to my laest comment, I usually just skip the intro of this vid,so I never caught Idina's name. And I'm not totally ignorant. Idina was in the original Wicked, too. But the CD sounded a little better.
I dont know if you were criticising her or not, but Idina is awesome!
when you see the real thing the whole stage lights up and the whole theatre is coverd in little green lights. This is one of the best songs in the uk production. in america they made defying gravity the best. but i have to say when i saw this in the uk i was so serprised it made defiying look dull!
Gotta love those British accents, though. . . .
I know! doesn't she just sound amazing?
i love wicked... but the british is a bit.... idk maybe i am not used to it... but it is still cool!!
They haven't even announced a movie project yet, have they? Either way...If Idina and Kristen don't want to do it then you can't force them. I would love to see them and Federer, Butz and everyone else in it should they make it.
are you joking?! Tickets are sold out for most of the shows of wiked so it wont close down.
i want helen to come back!
what is the Royal Variety Performance?
The Wizard is American because he is from Omaha in America in the original story. Nigel Planner is not American. :)
Kerry and Dianne id say are the best english ones but i havent seen helen dallimore. I think diannes hilarious though :)
elphabe is the original american actress from broadway. the uk glinda, actually sounds like glinda from the film the wizard of oz. i've seen it both on broadway and in the west end, and it was by far better in London.
Idina's voice sticks out a little at first, but that's probably because she's the only one without a British accent.
The British Elphaba and Glinda weren't screeching so much as singing in their nose a little too much. And when everyone comes in to sing "Sharing one wonderful one short", everyone wasn't together, so it sounded like a snake hissing at first. Sorry.
totally agree...idina and kristin voices meshed better than kerry and idina...but still amazin of course!
Yeah, but their voices clash a little sometimes.
Has anyone else noticed Helen Dalimore gets her notes wrong when she sings/says "To make my life and make my way"? It's really irritating, when people pick on Idina so much (not on this video so much, but other ones) and then don't notice the other one!

xxStellaxx
whose the guy who introduced it??
can i jus ask who glinda is it doesn't look lyk kristen or Megan, is it the stand in
it's elphaba
i think Kristin and Idina click better with the roles of best friends, but i think Helen's voice sounds better with Idinas. I think Kristins voice is a little...hmmm I guess "breathy" is the best word i can think of. I think Helen can hold the notes better
Alpheba sounds like Idena kind of
thats becouse the original girl that played glinda un christin i think was sick so its not her X(
adam Garcia
I'm sorry, I misjudged you. I didn't mean to attack you, I just hate it when people are mean to other people, especially to boys who act and sing.
I hate High School Musical too, but I love Wicked.
xxStellaxx
hahaha i kno what ya mean.
Helen looks like she was having a hard time with the high notes
Ah. I thought it was a casting thing, not a plot thing.
when they say before we are done helen won't stop saying that its so annoying just stop when they stop!!!
don't go criticsizing when you can't even spell the name right ok? It's Elphaba, and it's not surprising she sounds like Idina, as Idina is playing her!!
xxStellaxx
the only part that i didnt like was that you could tell that the actors were british. when kerry was elphie there was only a few parts that you could tell that she was british. in this you can tell that even is british except idina
i hate that glinda but thats not ur fault,, KoOl
AAAAAHHHHHHH! What have those dang Brits DONE? They pronounced too many constanents and their Glinda and Elphabe sounded like they were screeching, not singing.
kerry goes better with dianne :) and idina and kristen :D
i hate helen's "to make my life and make my way" its so annoying!!!
The beginning of this is all wrong! Sob. It's not right, not right at all! And yes, I can too have a breakdown over it.
Hm...I don't think I like the Brittish accents. I like the r always being super harsh on 'short'. It makes the word stand out more. I think Brittish accents are gorgeous but I think I like the American better on this song.
Not so clearly. I mean, our music teachers stress dictation, but these guys overdictate a little. No offense.
What's wrong with a boy singing? And what does it matter if it's went for women? If he likes the song, he's allowed to sing it! If you don't like musicals, you're in the wrong place honey.

I'm sorry but Alpheba's voice is sooo horrible!!!
