Musical direction is by Ron Crocker, with UK casting by Jim Arnold.
laura aka the most underrated elphaba ever
She is phenomenal I saw her this week at West end. She never set a foot wrong. I personally think she was better than idena menzel
@@JollyOliW yesss i saw her on wednesday night and she absolutely blew me away
@@edie8931 same, seems like I'm not the only one that was blown away by her performance!
@@JollyOliW i’ve never heard a better version of i’m not that girl in my life
Saw her yesterday and she was absolutely out of this world!!
The West End production is by far the strongest out of all productions! Broadway is not even close to the standard the West End cast is
They really need to film the live show and release it on DVD, since the movie's NEVER happening at this point!
Apparently it's in pre production. Ariana Grande has been cast alongside a lady whose name I can't remember. That's the only casting, mind you... so, yeah... maybe it's not gonna see the light of day.
@@leostarr9789 Yup. Not in the next few years, anyway.
@@leostarr9789 In retrospect, they should've done the movie version of Wicked instead of Cats. Lol!
@@dustinthepatriotjolley3332 that was the original plan but they moved wicked’s date back and made cats instead, cynthia erivo has been cast as elphaba and ariana grande as glinda in the movie and it’s filming soon i think?? but yes i would’ve loved to see a filmed version of sophie and laura and i cant believe they’ve left
@@edie8931 Interesting. I wish they'd film the stage version too, like they have with Les Miserables, The Phantom of the Opera, and Hamilton among others.
