Let's Admit, she is probably the only one who shows that character arc of galinda so prominently. The stupid, bubbly, innocent and plastic glinda of act 1 changes to a mature , tragic women.....that transition of her is beautifully depicted. ❤️
I personally think she has the most growth out of everyone. She had to make some really tough and painful choices and know the true cost of her choice for the rest of her life. A life without her true love, Elphie💚
Both do. Love both of their interpretations. Absolutely as campy as possible but then they do a complete 180 in act two and beautifully depict Glinda facing the consequences of her actions (or inaction as it were).
her acting during nomtw absolutely fucking kills me every time, some actresses don't address that she just witnessed her best friend be killed right in front of her and it's frustrating cause like. the poor woman is in the throes of grief as we speak, SHOW IT
Also 7:56 where Donna made her break character is absolutely GOLDEN. And the bed flop/faint. Makes me laugh till I cry every time. EVERY TIME. She just ate this role up.
6:55 I read from another video that this particular version of Popular was Donna’s last performance, so that explains why she and Katie were acting so goofy and almost out of character, at least for Elphaba during it, especially when Katie was caressing her at this part. This is why I love musical theatre!
Katie Rose Clarke is the best Glinda there is. I've seen recordings of almost every Wicked cast in history and she always was my favourite. When I learned she'd be Glinda on Broadway again for a few weeks I literally book a trip to NYC just to see her💀She was absolutely brilliant and so kind!!! She's a very touchy person in real life too and she hugged me at the stage door when I was crying cause I was so happy to see her :') ❤
“I got so much stuff in my hands!” 😂 LOL KRC made it sound like Galinda had way too much to drink at the Ozdust Ball-that would explain why Galinda seems so buzzed!
Most shots of the finale are wide shots of the whole stage, but I’m glad someone caught that last shot of Glinda. The expression on her face before the lights go out is perfect and haunting. A perfect capture of every emotion Glinda is feeling at that exact moment
the way i completely agree with how thank goodness was written for KRC. probably one of the few glinda's who performed that song with sadness, happiness, anger all mixed in one.
Glinda is definitely one of my dream roles! but i know if i ever got her i would have to talk to whoever is Elphaba to make sure we make it as gay as we could
THANK YOU for putting my feelings into words! "Couldn't be happier" was written for KRC so hard. My first time watching wicked was in 2010 when Katie was on and I haven't forgotten that show since
I couldn't stop smiling during most of Act 1 Glinda-you chose such great clips and the captions were amazing! but I've always adored KRC for how tragic her Act 2 Glinda is, and this showcased it so well too. Thank you! edit: the translucent flashbacks during _her_ song oh god i'm a _wreck_
Yep and yep, she's one if not my fav Glinda and has been for a long time now. She brings so much emotion and depth and (Gay) lol to Glinda and one of the best portrays ever. She makes her a lot more thoughtful and yep, that Thank Goodness at her last show is a fucking killer every time! So I wrote a Carmen/Katie fanfic in my tween days and it's gloriously bad and filled with errors, but that's my dedication to them! Lol!
Thanks for posting this, she's the first one I saw (in a bootleg) when I was in High school. I think she does the best balance between funny and serious other than Chenoweth. In fact, I don't think I've seen a single Chenoweth follow up that I have like in the role besides her. She's melodramatic and high strung, but doesn't act like a total maniac.
The subtle nuances and character interpretations in her performance are TREMENDOUS! I've seen the show 8 times, but never have I seen anyone interpret this role with such amazing insight! Man, I wish I had seen one of her performances! She is Priceless!!
I love her so much!!! I think one of my favorite tiny moments in this is in 4:23 - 4:24 when she mouths/ whispers "Yes" while Elphie responds with "Well, it's a little perky." It's such a Galinda moment. You know that even though she asked for permission, Galinda really wanted to use that cute nickname for her gf... I mean, for Elphaba. And I think it's such a great choice on KRC's part to visibly mouth the response Galinda is hoping for (and quite possibly what she was going to hear, no matter what Elphie said). KRC is an incredible performer and she was such an iconic Glinda. Anyway... Ship #Gelphie for clear skin.
Watching this literally made my day omg. I love how she adds so much nuance to the character. A lot of Galindas shake their hair after that bit with Fiyero, but she’s the only one I’ve seen act as though she strained a muscle afterwards😂. To the way I am absolutely taken by her “moral crossroads, trying-to-hold-it-together” Glinda throughout the 2nd act and especially through Thank Goodness. The way everything she does and has brought to the character makes sense is just *chef’s kiss 😘* p.s. the way i cried with laughter throughout this video 💀
My family and I saw her as Beth in Merrily We Roll Along, recently (she was fantastic, btw), and at some point during or after the number “It’s A Hit”, she did these little leaps around the stage, similar the ones at 5:51, and I remember thinking at the time “That’s so Glinda!” So she’s still got it!
I love absolutely her. My fam and I saw Wicked on Broadway twice. One of our Glindas was Kara Lindsay. She was great. But it is incredible to see how each actress adds her special charm and wit to this profoundly hilarious character.
I think she was crying during the one Thank Goodness clip because you can see at 12:58 onwards the tear streak on her blush and there is a matching one for the other side of her face
KRC and Carmen C were my Glinda and Elphie when I saw them in my city! ❤ While most people pick a Glinda based on whether or not she does a whistle note here and there, KRC has easily become one of my fave Glindas by her phenomenal and chaotic acting alone, add to that her fantastic voice. **dramatic Glinda bed-fall**
i need to get that performance of donna vivino and KRC! my absolute favorite elphaba and absolute favorite galinda performing together would be a literal dream come true
13:43 if you want to see Galinda slap elphaba and see Galindas expert baton twirling skills 6:14 if you want to see some of the best Galinda acting ever 10:47 if you want to see KRC being absolutely adorable in the emerald city 3:10
Correct me if im wrong, but when KRC said "lets just stay here forever" and kept kissing carmen's head during popular, wasn't that carmen's last show??
After watching more of these videos, I now know for sure I’m a mix between Elphie and Glinda! I’m socially awkward and have Elphie’s vocal type, but I can also be cute and quirky like Glinda and I have her range. If I had to choose which one would be my dream role however, Elphaba would be my first pick, even if I also have more of Glinda’s body type after losing a few pounds.
Does *anyone* have the full video of her version of Popular? Specifically the one that 4:32 is from? I remember it being one of my favourite renditions but the bootleg that I saw it from got taken down years ago
Is there any way you can post a link to the popular where Glinda says "I have too much stuff in my hands"? I'd really like to see that entire act, thanks.
KRC suffocating and manhandling her Elphies during Popular will never not be hilarious to me 💀
Let's Admit, she is probably the only one who shows that character arc of galinda so prominently. The stupid, bubbly, innocent and plastic glinda of act 1 changes to a mature , tragic women.....that transition of her is beautifully depicted. ❤️
Agree!
I personally think she has the most growth out of everyone. She had to make some really tough and painful choices and know the true cost of her choice for the rest of her life. A life without her true love, Elphie💚
no megan hilty does it
Both do. Love both of their interpretations. Absolutely as campy as possible but then they do a complete 180 in act two and beautifully depict Glinda facing the consequences of her actions (or inaction as it were).
nah i think you mean kara lindsay... she didnt even need to act
her acting during nomtw absolutely fucking kills me every time, some actresses don't address that she just witnessed her best friend be killed right in front of her and it's frustrating cause like. the poor woman is in the throes of grief as we speak, SHOW IT
She knows it was a ploy for Elphaba to escape though so why would she truly be sad that her friend died when it was all a false flag?
@@smurf902 she doesn't know tho, when fiyero lets elphie out of the trapdoor at the end doesn't he say that glinda can't know?
@ she doesnt though she truly believes elphaba is dead, elphaba and fiyero agree they can never tell her elphaba is alive
I love her southern diphthong at certain points. The only G(a)Linda I know of to be from the Southern Upper Uplands lmao.
Also 7:56 where Donna made her break character is absolutely GOLDEN. And the bed flop/faint. Makes me laugh till I cry every time. EVERY TIME. She just ate this role up.
6:55 I read from another video that this particular version of Popular was Donna’s last performance, so that explains why she and Katie were acting so goofy and almost out of character, at least for Elphaba during it, especially when Katie was caressing her at this part. This is why I love musical theatre!
bucket list item is to see a final popular performed live and a final defying gravity.
I love how much Target Lady energy she brings to this character.
I must admit, I had to google target lady and now I can say KRC!Glinda definitely fits the concept!
SAMEEE
Katie Rose Clarke is the best Glinda there is. I've seen recordings of almost every Wicked cast in history and she always was my favourite. When I learned she'd be Glinda on Broadway again for a few weeks I literally book a trip to NYC just to see her💀She was absolutely brilliant and so kind!!! She's a very touchy person in real life too and she hugged me at the stage door when I was crying cause I was so happy to see her :') ❤
It’s the breaking every Elphie for me during Popular. 😂
Also, Katie and Carmen had such a chemistry. I adore them together.
“I got so much stuff in my hands!” 😂 LOL KRC made it sound like Galinda had way too much to drink at the Ozdust Ball-that would explain why Galinda seems so buzzed!
Okay...why do I feel like the Glinda and Elphaba actresses teamed up to make one of their shows as gay as possible?
Also, Glinda sometimes looks like a 5 year old that has to pee really bad lol
Omg, this is great. For those who don't know: Before popular she falls because the heel broke off her shoe. That is why she takes them off.
Btw, the moment she crashes into the bed, you can see something flying from between the pillows: that is the lipstick she's looking for later
3:19 5:59
Most shots of the finale are wide shots of the whole stage, but I’m glad someone caught that last shot of Glinda. The expression on her face before the lights go out is perfect and haunting. A perfect capture of every emotion Glinda is feeling at that exact moment
Absolutely! It breaks my heart every time💔

Aah, Gelphie's shippers would be very appreciative! ♥️ hope you get that role one day :)
@@parrillayoung thank you
@@dumbsheep1134 hell yeah! it's apart of her character haha
Gurl, I would totally be down. My dream is it to play Elphie in Wicked. No matter what production.
Doing the Lord’s work over here
Glinda is just such an amazingly complex and layered character and KRC's one of the best that portrayed her
KRC wiping her tear during No One Mourns is such an amazing choice.. you really can feel how anguished Glinda feels.
“Buckle up bc we’re about to suffer” * proceeds to make suffering 1000x worse with how you edit it *
i love the way this version of glinda cuz she likes to kiss elphies head
They are so sweet💗
That part where her neck hurts after tossing it so much always gets me hahahha
She and Carmen were perhaps on of the best duos, their dynamic was insane.
Totally agree. They are my fav duo!
She cried in 12:31 because it was Carmen's last show.
She cried like five times throughout that show.
Her Thank Goodness, especially that specific performance at 12:27, will remain unmatched.
Absolutely!
@@parrillayoung do you have the full clip of that performance? Please?
I always love to see how she improvised her G(a)linda! Every performances a different acting! But… damn… always SO FUNNY! 💚
Thank you! 💚
Thank YOU! She truly is a gem & one of the funniest Glinda 💞
@@parrillayoung Indeed! 💚
It’s Glinda now the Guh is silent
THANK YOU for putting my feelings into words! "Couldn't be happier" was written for KRC so hard. My first time watching wicked was in 2010 when Katie was on and I haven't forgotten that show since
I'm glad you liked it! Her performance are remarkable, indeed!
ive only seen her performance with willemijn and i had NO IDEA she had insane moments like these i love this
I couldn't stop smiling during most of Act 1 Glinda-you chose such great clips and the captions were amazing!
but I've always adored KRC for how tragic her Act 2 Glinda is, and this showcased it so well too. Thank you!

no bc her pushing Elphie into her chest at 06:02 is pure sapphic energy

So she’s still got it!
KRC looks so buff i literally adore her and she mightttttt be my favorite stage galinda
Lmao that’s the time her shoe broke in popular because she accidentally fell😭👑
Found my ppl. KRC's definitely the best glinda for me, hope u could make more
I'll try!!
Back here and the Thank Goodness in Carmen's last was insane good. When I watched it I replayed so many times, she's really amazing.
She was definitely crying there too, she was crying through that whole show 😂😭
I love absolutely her. My fam and I saw Wicked on Broadway twice. One of our Glindas was Kara Lindsay. She was great. But it is incredible to see how each actress adds her special charm and wit to this profoundly hilarious character.
Kara Lindsay is definitely one of my favorite Glinda. Her acting is insane!
@@parrillayoung I am glad I am not the only one who thinks that.
3:17 Fiyero and I are gonna be married *trips*
I love the little almost southern tange
her and Willemijn are one of my favorite duos 🩷💚
KRC's G[a]linda was in love with Elphaba, obviously
It’s so obvious too
😭
Thank Goodness flashbacks with Carmen.....it's fine....I didn't need my heart any way. 🥲💔
I love their chemistry 🥰 Their friendship was everything.
💞
It's not like I started sobbing during that part of the video or anything.
...nope.
...not at all.
I’ve never seen Wicked, I kinda missed that hype train, but I’m obsessed with KRC’s Galinda.
She makes Galinda so extra, I love it 🤣
you didn't have to edit thank goodness like that 😭
Sorry 😞 (not really)
Hi this is Incredible, THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS- Now I can watch all my favorite KRC Glinda moments in one place!!
“I dare you to kiss me” THANK YOU FOR THE TRUE INTERPRETATION 😂
Oh my god, NEVER have i seen a more touching performance of Couldn't be happier. NEVER SHE PUT HER SOUL INTO IT
I don’t understand why she’s not more famous
fr she’s my favourite glinda actually
same here. I laughed so hard when I saw her play this part live. I will always remember Wicked because of her
6:31 Glinda dies.......of being a friend LOL
Oh she really cranked up the gay™️ with her performance
THE “TALL AND SKINNY AND PRETTY” PART!?!? THAT IS VERY SAPPHIC-
Honestly they should make it a permanent line on the show
I think she was crying during the one Thank Goodness clip because you can see at 12:58 onwards the tear streak on her blush and there is a matching one for the other side of her face
I'm new here, but this actress is incredible and unhinged in all the best ways. Ty for making this lol
She plays Glinda as a sweet friend. I like how she's silly and goofy but dials it back in Act 2 for the more serious parts.
Some of these clips you’ve found are gems!!! I’ll always watch a bootleg if it has KRC in it!! Adore this so much!!
ugh she is just such an inspiration!! i hope i can get a role like this one day
15:09 "It just shows, when you're "wicked", you're left only... on your own."
She nails the character like it was created for her. Freaking goddess
KRC and Carmen C were my Glinda and Elphie when I saw them in my city! ❤ While most people pick a Glinda based on whether or not she does a whistle note here and there, KRC has easily become one of my fave Glindas by her phenomenal and chaotic acting alone, add to that her fantastic voice. **dramatic Glinda bed-fall**
I love KRC SM her G(a)linda is so ICONIC
I need to know what fucking Red Bull all the Glindas are snorting before Popular every night 😂
if they ever made a Wicked movie, I really hope Glinda's character is portrayed this way.
well funny enough they are making a wicked movie rn with ariana grande as galinda
Ariana is so bland compared to every Glinda there ever was. It's terrible.
i need to get that performance of donna vivino and KRC! my absolute favorite elphaba and absolute favorite galinda performing together would be a literal dream come true
she’s the best Glinda period
14:55 the sass!
Thanks for posting! Made me smile! 😁
I'm glad. Thank you!
She's one of my favourite Glinda's! here are my top 3: Kristen Chenoweth, Katie Rose Clarke and Megan Hilty (I also like amanda jane cooper :)
Such strong Madeline Kahn vibes…and that is the greatest of complements.
6:32 FRICKIN LOVE THAT THUD OMG
She was my G(a)linda! I saw her and Carmen Cusack on the National tour in 2008!!!
she is the supreme of toss toss
best galinda
Hullo, this is so lovely! Thank you for it.
Shes my absolute favorite
13:43 if you want to see Galinda slap elphaba and see Galindas expert baton twirling skills
6:14 if you want to see some of the best Galinda acting ever
10:47 if you want to see KRC being absolutely adorable in the emerald city
3:10
Correct me if im wrong, but when KRC said "lets just stay here forever" and kept kissing carmen's head during popular, wasn't that carmen's last show??
Yes, it was indeed Carmen's last show. They were so emotional 😭💜
12:40 okay the editing kinda ate…. I got sad….😔

hello! do you have a full video of her popular in 3:15 ???
Even though Megan Hilty is my favourite Glinda but Katie Rose is an iconic
What video is 7:52 from?
Great compilation btw! :D
Thank you!!! That’s their final performance on the 1NT (2009, I think?). Donna Vivino is Elphaba
@@parrillayoung thank you!
Is there any way you can post a link to the popular where Glinda says "I have too much stuff in my hands"? I'd really like to see that entire act, thanks.
Hello. Can you tell me where can I find the full version of this? 14:00 I have cried so much watching this version!! 😭😭 thanks in advance!!
my first galinda! i was eleven! she was opposite teal wicks, my first elphie :) what a treat!!!
glinda having a posh southern accent is just so. Correct. (as a southerner)
Me when someone rings the doorbell: 3:22
Hi, great video! would you happen to have the full show of KRC and Carmen to share?
@@parrillayoung , Oooh, me too !
im begging you to make another
do you have any links to these performances?? (love the video btw KRC is just *chefs kiss*)
Hey, there! Contact me via tumblr (parrillayoung) & I can send you some!
Can somebody...ANYBODY...tell me who the Elphaba is at 9:58? For weeks I have tried to find her and I can't. Also KRC is THE BEST Glinda...Hands DOwn!
Hey there! That's Lauren Harris :)
Thank you SO MUCH!! I find it hard to tell with all the makeup, camera quality, and lighting sometimes.
Who is the Madame Morrible actress at 2:30?
Hey there! That's Myra Lucretia Taylor
can someone pls give me bootlegs of krc? :(
when she fell and took the shoes off was def an accident and hurt her foot 😂 does anyone know if it was bad?
This is fantastic. Do you have a full boot with her? She seems so chaotic and I absolutely love it.
Not me shipping Elphie (Donna) and Glinda (Katie) after seeing one too many head kisses
