I REALLY wish Kristin had joined Idina onstage in London for this performance. It would have been SUBLIME, and more epic than it is already. 💚🖤 This is STILL one of the BEST final DG performances of ANY Elphaba ANYWHERE in the 🌍. And people can dispute it with me ALL THEY WANT, but I'm a trained singer myself, and I CLEARLY hear her sing: "So, if you care to find me, look to the West End Sky!." Which is FREAKING F'ING BRILLIANT & I 💚🖤 it! 🤘
The London Orchestra is AH-MAHZING! 💚🖤 They supported Idina's final performance BEAUTIFULLY. I mean, this really is a STUNNING performance of both Performer and Orchestra. It's SUBLIME. Seeing this live must have been ABSOLUTELY ASTOUNDING! This also should have been the OLC Album Recording.
@@veraelphie0306It seems that the more time passes, the more this performance is devalued. It's no longer about telling the story, but proving riffs. He no longer has a personality.
When people say Idina was a bad Elphaba, I'll refer them to both this and the 31/10/2006 recording. Also the san Francisco HQ recordings. Also the partial no fly recordings. I mean, my list could go on and on and on. Because she was a perfect Elphaba
@@veraelphie0306 omg I wish I’d love to see them live I just saw the play in Orlando it was amazing and I got chills when the actress rose up and I teamed up at some parts
Yes and no. I’ve heard from a reliable source that there is unfortunately no video at all. However, there was one video posted a couple months back that was seemingly her last dg - the audio was pretty distorted but it matched. I’ve heard this video was just an older clip of Idina, but this is really the only version of last video dg

The London orchestra should be the standard for all others. There is something magical about her even today.

I mean in Idina days, sure. It's running a marathon nowadays. Pretty sure we had the shortest "IT'S MEEEEEEEE" in history in January
I would rather have the larger Broadway orchestra

The cheers after that final belt gives me chills 😭
Same
Makes me cry actually. Idina's final battle cry in this was SO FIERCE! She was REALLY saying goodbye to Elphaba and Wicked.
Chills. Can hear the heart break in her voice to saying bye to defying gravity. Amazing.
Me too. it makes me cry.
6:47 I love how she stylized 'deserves' in London!!
Me too! It’s stunning. I think only really Idina and Rachel Tucker can hit that deserves riff properly.
RIGHT!! she originated it.
@@camara1194 i could've sworn that shoshana bean originated it when she started understudying in 2004

She is the best elphaba
@@tabithapalmer5948 yeah
Yk what would be the best thing to happen for wicked's 20th anniversary? Bring Idina and Kristin back for one or a few shows
@@veraelphie0306 omg I wish I’d love to see them live I just saw the play in Orlando it was amazing and I got chills when the actress rose up and I teamed up at some parts
PERIOD!! im sick of people saying she can’t sing! She is Elphaba!
- I'm the one you want. It's me!!
- ELPHIEEEEEEEEEEE
- IT'S MEEEEEEEEEEE
GOOSEBUMPS EVERYWHWRE
Can you inagine being backstage and hearing the audience cheer the way they did i wonder what is that like for the stage crew and other cast members ❤
This song gives me chills and tears. 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Some brilliant talent has taken on this part but I think Idina is the...wickedest.
Absolutely an incredible singer, musical and such an uplifting song!
The lovely Idina 💚💚
She Literally defied gravity that nigh! I know she did.
It would be incredible to hear the whole show
Thanks very much!!!
The pitch seems edited to be higher than the actual. But still...great vocals.
She sound rly good but a bit off at some points, to be fair she was probably crying her last performance
Did footage of this survive in any form? I remember finding a video of it some time ago, but can't seem to find it anymore.

@@thomas965o can I see that one video? Then I'll judge for myself whether it's the last or an older performance... I just can't find it on my own
@@verasrailway0306 I’m trying my best to find it.
@@verasrailway0306 bestie i found it ua-cam.com/video/t4G-bF4J3Kk/v-deo.html
@@thomas965o omg thanks
Thomas how did you get this
It was on UA-cam maybe 3 years ago, and was up for a while. Once I realised it was deleted, I put this one up! :)
Well it’s a great video none the less so thank you for posting it
Terrible as always.
Great to hear 👍
