That caught my attention!. Like, songs almost over, I got this. I only knew Pirate Queen's American production starring Stephanie J. Block, but after doing a little bit of browsing I discovered Rachel did the U.K/Irish production of Pirate Queen.
@@westendvideo😲💨 She is Outstanding, and I think being Irish the role was Meant To Be HERS. I wish this production had continued With Rachel in the States. 😊 No disregard for, or disrespect meant to Stephanie J. Block who originated the role in the American production and did a great job, but ms. Rachel Tucker was born to play this role.
🤷♀️ I had struggled to find words to describe this..until now, This wasn't a rehearsal, This was an exhilarating, breathtaking performance. 🙆♀️ 💓💕👏 BRAVO👸 Pirate Queen Rachel Tucker.
Natalia Osias I haven’t gone through auditions yet, but I’ve got amazing feedback from lots of professors, and they all love the song for my voice. I’m about to post me singing it soo... 😁

GRACE: Woman I am born What does "woman" mean? Must my dreams face scorn Held back and unseen If I long for fire Must it stay unreal? Can I not desire? Am I not to feel? If I ache to taste Am I not to try? If my heart says sail Why should I deny? I have my dreams I have made plans I have horizons wide as a man's Must I be nothing till I'm some man's wife? Look at this face Does it deceive? Do I look made to milk and to weave? I will be damned to Hell if that is my life! (Interlude) I'm almost your age, I'm your match in size, I'm as skilled with swords An equal in most eyes But when you have a dream And you're caught in it's grip You can climb aboard a ship You can - You can for you're a man When you reach toward that place Where the earth meets the sky Fight a battle be brave, be true If you can do it, why not I? I'm meant to fly Sail unrestrained Why is man free and woman chained? Is that my epitaph before I die? I should be free Free to be Grace So I can feel the wind on my face! And when life beckons, I should go Face out the storm, not stay below Am I to be just woman? No! Not I!
Rachel is amazing, but I still prefer Stephanie on this song. She made it sound much more effortless and moving. I'm sure Rachel can get there once she knows the song better, but based on this, Stephanie still has her beat for me
I keep coming back here to Rachel's performance of "Woman" and thinking They Really Should do a Revival of the Pirate Queen with Rachel in the title role. I think she's the spark to give the show New life given the fact that She Actually Is 100% Irish. I personally can picture her stepping into Stephanie J. Block's shoes and filling them perfectly.
Gráinne O'Malley died 1603 401 years ago she was infamously bucking gender roles and presentation, for herself and for her people’s survival. Tell me again how gender and equal rights are a recent fight?
The shocked faces of all the cast while the woman is singing that horrible song. I insist: this is, perhaps, one of those rare musicals with the worst, worst, worst music. Only the Irish dance sections are pretty beautiful. The rest is completely terrible. Good cause. But bad idea from the beginning. Not any single character can connect with the public. This is a huge shame. And a pity.
MIGUEL ANGEL ESPINOSA SILVA Horrible song? Excuse me but you’re going to comment something negative about the music written by two of the most influential and legendary musical theatre writers of all time. Don’t think so.
MIGUEL ANGEL ESPINOSA SILVA you have no idea of what you are saying ! I’ve listened to that score hundreds of times! That song and many others are beautiful pieces of art, sung for auditions everywhere.
I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. This song is beautiful and strong and passionate. It's an anthem. And, really, all the music in this show is just beautiful. It's such a great show that was very underrated when it premiered. It's so, so good.

When she throws the score down....that's a whole mood!!!! I love her!

I watch this everyday!
Isn't she amazing!!!
Me also......find myself listening every night when I'm in bed ... incredible talent
That's what doctors recommend 😁

Wow!! My favourite thing about this is the casts reaction 😮
Best musical theatre actress of all the time (in my opinion)! ❤🌹⭐️
How dare she throw the book down like "GIRL I'M DONE WITH THIS, I KNOW THIS PART"
I love the cast behind geeking out at what they’re hearing and Hannah Waddingham looking so proud🥰🥰
was Hannah her mentor or something?
She is INCREDIBLE, like, she can yawn and she's already outsang every West End and Broadway performer in existence
Or she could stop waving her hands about and just tell the story
Ian Smith shut up
@@adreasdegrecia Aha, or I can share my opinion like everyone else.
@@bigred8432 zip it dumbo

* Looks up every video with Rachel Tucker in the title *
We are all Steph Parry (yellow jumper) watching this 😂😍
honestly tho, her reactions were my exact reactions while watching this
Seriously no words.. She is just so impressive.
I saw her as Elphaba when I was 8, and lemme tell u I have been HOOKED for the decade :) she's a GODDESS
🤷♀️ I had struggled to find words to describe this..until now, This wasn't a rehearsal, This was an exhilarating, breathtaking performance. 🙆♀️ 💓💕👏 BRAVO👸 Pirate Queen Rachel Tucker.
it makes me so happy to see them all smile at her as shes hitting the high notes like a QUEEEENNNN😭😭🥰🥰
I quite literally watch this video every day
This MUSICAL NEEDS TO BE MORE WELL KNOWN! I’m using this song for college auditions so wish me luck
How'd your audition go?

2:09 miss ma’am OPENED that vowel on “why not I”
That woman in the yellow sweater is me
I think she is all of us. :-)
god she's incredible
GRACE:
Woman I am born
What does "woman" mean?
Must my dreams face scorn
Held back and unseen
If I long for fire
Must it stay unreal?
Can I not desire?
Am I not to feel?
If I ache to taste
Am I not to try?
If my heart says sail
Why should I deny?
I have my dreams
I have made plans
I have horizons wide as a man's
Must I be nothing till I'm some man's wife?
Look at this face
Does it deceive?
Do I look made to milk and to weave?
I will be damned to Hell if that is my life!
(Interlude)
I'm almost your age,
I'm your match in size,
I'm as skilled with swords
An equal in most eyes
But when you have a dream
And you're caught in it's grip
You can climb aboard a ship
You can -
You can for you're a man
When you reach toward that place
Where the earth meets the sky
Fight a battle be brave, be true
If you can do it, why not I?
I'm meant to fly
Sail unrestrained
Why is man free and woman chained?
Is that my epitaph before I die?
I should be free
Free to be Grace
So I can feel the wind on my face!
And when life beckons, I should go
Face out the storm, not stay below
Am I to be just woman? No! Not I!
AI could make a better melody
They were going to bring this back!! Dang that makes me hate COVID even more
The incredible Rachel Tucker....❤️❤️❤️❤️
Rachel is fantastic... But no matter what I still hear her as elphaba ..best Elfie ever..
Insaneeeeeeee i really really love her
literally goosebumps all over
Incredible...
So amazing. Love Stephanie but Rachel gave a whole new meaning for Grace.

elphbwckd If my ears are not deceiving me, Rachel sings it higher by the end...
Saw SJB on B;way and I am a total FAN! This totally rivals her performance. Brava SJB and Rachel!
@@stephenvalentinemusi nope.,they both sang it in this key
@@elphbwckd212 erm no yank is better than her

I believed ever word she sung
Goosebumps
One elphaba to an other... love the girls!!!!
After her years as Green Queen, I still think she is AMAZING AF
Just damnnnnn
🤩

This soundtrack is so beautiful, what are you talking about? The song is gorgeous and Rachel can only do it justice with those majestic pipes of hers.

If you haven't actually seen the show, and apparently by your abhorent comments you have not, you need to STFU!
Saw this tonight, it was amazing :)
I can't get over how GOOD this is!
