flawless omg. the acting, the tone, the classic alli opt-up, and the quality of the vid is sooooo good. alli proving she’s THEE soprano glinda queen once again 😤
What an emotional and powerful performance by Alli Mauzey in "No One Mourns the Wicked"! Her energy and stage presence are simply captivating, drawing the audience into the world of Oz from the very first note. It's bittersweet to see this performance from the closing of the San Francisco production, but Alli Mauzey's talent shines brightly, leaving an unforgettable impression.
Something about Alli’s portrayal makes you think you’re really watching an Ozian in Oz. Idk if that makes sense but she fits inside the world BEAUTIFULLY
This song is so ironic when you think of the rest of the play. In this song, they refer to Elphaba as “the wicked witch” but Elphaba won’t live and die alone. She has Fiyero, and a chance for them to rebuild their lives together outside of Oz. Where Glinda “the good” is now doomed to live the rest of her life, guilt ridden and alone, hiding behind a smile because she chose to believe the lies of the corrupt government under the Wizard and Morrible, instead of doing the right thing and standing by Elphaba.
Before "For Good", she said she wanted to clear Elphaba and tell everyone the truth but Elphaba forced to her not to in order to keep her safe bc everyone will turn against Glinda.
Glinda is indeed good - she played to her strengths (her physical appeal and extremely high interpersonal intelligence) and leveraged her position and privilege (as "Glinda the Good") to banish the corrupt Wizard and imprison Morrible, and promised to continue using her gifts to help the people of Oz to be better.
@@Pheelyp Indeed she did. But she did not start out that way. Her entire journey throughout the musical is learning that it’s better to do the right thing and be loyal to your friends than prioritize popularity. The musical transforms Glinda from a mean popular girl to somebody with good intentions that wants to do good for the Ozians. But even though she promises to do well by the people of Oz, she’ll never truly be happy because she lost all her friends. I can’t help but feel that her story is a tragedy.
@@tesslichtman7302 I agree completely that Glinda's transformation is admirable both because of how much she had to sacrifice and how it changed her for the good. I suppose my quibble is her decision of not standing by Elphaba as being "wrong". Glinda intuitively understood that had she gone against the full social might of the Wizard (who had an enormous store of goodwill magnified by state propaganda), she would have been unpopular and thus powerless. Unlike Elphaba who had innate arcane power, Glinda's ability to effect meaningful change comes primarily from being liked by others (and at times, barely even that, as she managed to only momentarily delay the mob before they seized Fiyero ["In the name of goodness, stop!'], and she was rebuked by the crowd when she tried to humanize Elphaba ["So you see, it couldn't have been easy!"]. So when Elphaba asks Glinda to join her ["So, are you coming?"], Glinda knew that she would be very limited indeed. So not joining was not only practical (as she would have little to contribute should she be ostracized) and thus not a betrayal of her friend, but also a matter of survival, aligned with her insight that "it's very shrewd to be very, very popular" and therefore suicidal not to be. Ultimately, popularity and doing the right thing are not mutually exclusive. As Elphaba recognizes, being liked is sometimes necessary to change society ("Look at you! You could do all the things I couldn't do!"). You're right that Glinda used to prioritize popularity for its own sake, but by the end, she recognized that it can (and should) be used for good.

Her comedic timing is genius

this portrayal of Galinda is my favourite, its just so interesting and funny
Alli Mauzey is the gold standard!
If you haven’t watched this and sang along pretending to be Glinda you’re lying

Oh you too 😒
For anyone missing Ali Mauzey's Glinda check out Courtney Monsma's Glinda. You're in for a treat!

or even Jenni Barber's :Popular" (when she screamed into the pillow, it was like Alli was still in the building)

The two times I saw this live, I never noticed the cast members that unhook and hook Glinda to the bubble!
Thanks to you, now, I do!❤
This will happen in the end of the movie musical

This is the best way to end this song. Period.
Gilnda betrayal is really heartbreaking for her 💔💔
😭😭
I don't think there was a dry eye in the theatre after the show that night. I would know, *I WAS THERE* Orchestra, Row X Center on the aisle
I don’t want to be at Gilnda bad side She actually said about Elphaba
Wicked witch of the west is dead is definitely The Villain Line for Gilnda
fiyero actually has a Point about Gilnda as the Villain in the thank Goodness segment of control The Monsters
The finale of fiyero and Elphaba wants to Leave OZ in Peace
Gilnda actually reminds me of fairy godmother from Shriek 2 with the bubble throne
The best
