@1993Warbirds

There's an easy way to fix that. Animate the movie. If Idina can play an animated young woman once, she can do it again.

@woodina0686

9y↑386

YES I would well rather it be animated! it would be perfect because of the magic you can create with animation. Also then Idina would be in it and the whole original cast! Also the production company would benefit because it doesn't cost as much to make an animation movie as it does to make a real one. No one will get angry over casting or not casting Idina!!

They only have a certain amount of time to do a selection. If they were going to speed of the show, they would go over time

@staggmovie

Your right because the song takes about 8 minutes to go through, so they had to cram about a lot of things or take out stuff to get it in 5 minutes or less, plus Joel Gray's introduction to them is a little bit longer then you see in this video.

@cameronfoster5838

4y↑76

a_m_w 2007 If you are talking about the last ahhhh, her first arm movement is for the ensemble. Usually there is a second arm cue for the orchestra, but in this there wasn’t, so they went ahead. Also the first ahhh, is cued by thrusting her broom downwards. It is all dependent on how the Elphaba wants to perform the song. Similar cues are used for The Wizard and I. Also, holding a C#5 in a chest voice is very difficult.

Also, they had to fit a nearly 10 minute performance in a 5 minute time slot.

Now that I think about it, I don't blame all the 9,11,30 year olds who sing "Let It Go" non stop, whether it be in the shower, videos or just breaking out in song. When I was 13, I saw this very same Tony Awards show and by the end of the performance I was stunned. I listened to "Defying Gravity" over and over again, I even sang it countless of times. I then dreamed to pursue theatre but had gone to the architecture field instead.

Luckily for me, 10 years after seeing this, I finally had the chance to watch Wicked when I was in Singapore, and seeing this performed live sent shivers down my spine.

Now that i'm 25, I have the instrumental for this very same song still playing in my earphones while I'm at work, and when no one is home, I still sing it with my all. I still dream the impossible dream of being covered in MAC PRO Chromacake Landscape Green, performing this on stage hahaha

Idina Menzel is very influential, I love this woman. Kristin Chenoweth did an amazing job as Galinda as well :) hats off to them both even after all these years!

It's 2018 and I've seen lots of Elphabas and yet Idina is still the best Elphaba not because of her technique, since let's be honest, hers is not the most perfect, but because she gave Elphaba the humanity she needed to be relatable to everyone who's gonna watch her the best. Idina's imperfections that time are what made her the perfect one to play Elphaba.

@Two Birds they rushed the hell out of a song that was already cut down for the allotted time. I'm a musician, and rushing when you don't need to isn't impressive, in fact when you do it in instances like these where you're acting as a backing track for someone else, it makes you kind of an ass which is what the conductor was in this instance unless he was trying to slow them down, which I doubt.

you have to do really intense facial expressions in order to get the "normal" one across to the audience (especially in the back rows), so having the cameras filming near her face really amplifies them so they look "odd".

I give Idina so much respect. I suffer from asthma and I sing from time to time so I know what it’s like to have a problem with having breathing problems but she’s a trooper. I love that woman so much. She’s such a great person, so sweet. You go girl!

No Tony performance will ever ever ever ever outdo this. I've listened to this song and seen a performance of it hundreds of times, and this STILL gave me goosebumps. Performed to perfection!!

the thing i love so much about indinas performance is how genuinely terrified she seems

@Ethan-dn1wc

After hearing how fast that orchestra took the tempo, I would be terrified as well, it was horribly rushed.

this perfeormance really made me wish i were older so i couldve support her those times and be there through her journey... i was 2 yrs old in this preformance

Idina portraing two of the strongest women in the last 20 years of entertainment in a single life tells a lot about her. She's such a power!

@verityjude2269

HELLO. So for everyone hating on Idina, she had a fever, cold and she had an asthma attack minutes before she went on! She hit those high notes better then any of you guys could and she doesn’t usually go that far with the expressions ( I think she was trying to take attention off her voice) give her a break smh 🤦🏼‍♀️

I think the gasping actually makes the drama even better for the scene! If you think about the situation of the story she should be breathless

@verityjude2269

SOMEONE PLEASE put the stage musical out on dvd or blueray. With Idena and Kristin - no other actors will do!!
I've seen this play so many times and I play the cd in my car often. IT'S BRILLIANT!!

No matter how many times I hear this song or see this video, I can't help but want to cry when she rises up like she's flying. It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in a musical.

@rebabandyopadhyay4216

I saw them both in the original cast production on Broadway. My heart still races watching it!

@librarydiva23

I saw them perform this in December of 2003. It took my breath away. My daughter was a sobbing heap in her seat. It was one of the BEST shows I have ever seen.

@pip1278

Can we talk about the harmony at 2:29 ? 😍 Perfect✨
Also, for everyone who says that this perfomance is bad because of her breaking or whatever, this song is perfect. Because you're gonna remember it, and it's all that matter 😍 saw it years ago by being lost on youtube and it's this special perfomance which makes me love Wicked and musicals ! And Idina of course 😁 So just enjoy how amazing Idina and Kristin are together 💚

@Ethan-dn1wc

@TheCrystalNote17 yeah there is a time limit but they took it from like 1 to 10 when they needed to take it to like a 5 or a 7.

Orchestra went: speed run

@scarrd3493
