Wicked--Original Broadway Cast featuring Kristin Chenoweth Lyrics

Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dear Evan Hansen,
Today is going to be a good day
And here's why because today, today at least you're you and that's enough

All we see is sky for forever
We let the world pass by for forever
Feels like we could go on for forever this way
This way

All we see is light
Watch the sun burn bright
We could be alright for forever
This way

All we see is sky for forever

All I see is sky for forever

C.J. Mancini well I mean idina did have some tuff vocal damage after performing as Elphie and there were other actresses who played elphie that didn’t suffer from vocal damage, suggesting that their practices were healthier, and “better.” Idina is an amazing actress but there were others who seemed to perform the role just as, if not even more better than idina.

NERD ALERT: throughout the show, it's been Galinda/Glinda singing the higher parts and Elphaba singing the lower harmonies and melodies. In a song where they have "changed for good" their singing parts are reversed. I always thought that was neat.

My middle school music teacher committed suicide a few days ago and she absolutely loved Wicked. We sang a choral version of this song in high school like 8 years ago and it always stuck with me. I’m now currently getting my degree in music performance to eventually get an education degree to teach like her. She was incredibly talented and did so much for our community and especially our music department. She also got to work with Broadway superstars. She always got lead roles in musical theater shows. She was a real life Mary Poppins. No one could’ve ever expected this would happen.

Dianne Raymont agreed. That’s something that not a lot of people pay attention to. Being a musician is easily one of the hardest jobs in terms of mental health. It’s often time why people turn to drugs and other things like that.

You can really see the respect and affection they have for each other during this performance, just by the way they look at each other. They had so much chemistry when they were in the show together. You can just tell how close they became working together, and how easily they sing this song together, how beautifully and easily they harmonize together. There’s just so much love there between the two of them, it’s beautiful. I mean, when they hold hands during the end of the song, and then they hug after. You can see they truly love each other.

@rebecca8525

I love the look on Idina's face when she sings "It well may be, that we may never meet again in this lifetime." She seems to be saying to Kristin, "On your last night in the show, we thought it was the last time we'd ever sing it to each other. Yet, here we are again. So it was NOT the last time we met again in this lifetime! We're still friends after all these years!"

Having this performed by these two women approaching middle age, makes this much richer, with the maturity of experience behind them.

What's interesting to me is that you can see Kristin's and Idina's interpretation of this song has evolved with time. While the power of youth has faded a bit, the emotional impact to me has really evolved and become even more complex...

@cannibalisticrequiem

3y↑3

That's what I love about songs like this. The emotions intensify, and sometimes change, over the years as you grow and gain more experience. Like with the OBC of Sondheim's Merrily. They were quite literally just kids when they recorded the cast album and performed on stage, but when they reunited for the concert performance all those years later, they were able to bring their lived experiences to the songs and shape them into something more personal than they had been. Or when Elaine Stritch sung "I'm Here" at Sondheim's 80th birthday concert, you could believe the words she was singing because she had lived so long. Or at the same concert, when an unfortunately, recently widowed Bernadette Peters sung "Not A Day Goes By" from that same birthday concert, and nearly broke down crying (you could even see her fighting back tears) because she was pulling from that experience.

It's always wonderful to see young people excited about musical theatre, and performing songs from their favorite musicals, but their performances will be lacking a bit (not bad, but missing something) until they've grown a bit and gained some experience from living life.

@fan_girl21

It’s nice to see people coming back to this video even after 5 years. I think that for good is one of the most tear jearking songs I have ever listened to. The fact that Idina and Kristin sing it together makes it even more special! 💗 I literally could not imagine anyone else in those roles.

Please if you are considering suicide just know that there are people who care about you.

I miss her so so much but I'm still going to move forward with my life in memory of her.

My father put me up for adoption at birth because he was very mentally ill and not financially stable. He spent a lifetime mourning the loss of his daughter (me), unable to move on but believing that he made the right choice. I met him almost two years ago, he had moved around between his siblings homes, never being able to settle anywhere or commit to anything or anyone. He drove himself mad but was undoubtedly the most incredibly selfless man I ever met. He was just suffering from so much internal conflict that he could not ever be at peace. He passed in February, and this song always makes me think of him. I miss him so much.

For the record: these two do NOT hate each other! That rumor was born out of sexism and a fascination with women fighting. After all, you don't hear rumors about Andrew Rannells and Josh Gad hating each other. Or Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane. Hell, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Leslie Odem Jr. played two men who faced off in a DUEL, and they were both up for Best Leading Actor in a Musical this year, but you don't hear stuff like "Oh, Lin hates Leslie!" or "Leslie wishes he could actually shoot Lin!" So, why are we hearing it about Idina and Kristen? It completely misses the point of Wicked.

@elizabethdodd4666

What I love most about them is they're both so different in characteristics AND in singing. Kristin's short and has blonde hair, Idina's taller with brown hair (thus perfect Elphie and Glinda match) and with singing voices, Kristin has the more higher, southerny tone to her voice and idina has the more alto, raspy voice to hers, yet when they put them both together...magic happens. I truly believe it was definitely God's intention to put these two fabulous women together. I'll never get tired of them, this musical or this very song in particular ❤ perfect friendship

@janicedickson9130

I agree that they were a perfect blend, but I have seen others do a good job as well. I also will never get tired of them or this musical. I think I've seen it 6-7 times now (saw Idina my first time) and my grown daughters love it as much as I. We always go together! We are mesmerized from beginning to end.

@elizabethdodd4666

Janice Dickson I long to have been able to witness they're potential in person. But I saw it on YouTube. The Ally mauzey and Donna vivino version. And Ally mauzey is one of my faves because she makes the character her own and is extremely hilarious I was on the floor dying most of the time. I just love Kristin and Idina because of the movies I've seen them in as a kid and when they both started in Glee. I agree there's others who do just as exceptional. So glad you get to witness them multiple times. I bet they're as phenomenal in person as they are on the media :)
