Some of us were discussing Wicked yesterday, and some saw Idina Menzel cast as Elpheba, the one on the soundtrack. Our Elphie was Caissie Levy, and I thought she was awesome. I liked her voice even better than the soundtrack, but that may have been just because it is always better live.
This first one is Elpheba and Glinda fighting, and then Elpheba sings "No Good Deeds." This Glinda is different, though. We saw Megan Hilty.
And of course "Defying Gravity." Each time she sings, "You can't pull me down" or "No one is ever gonna bring me down," the excess prolactin in my system is activated and I become a big crybaby.
And just to throw another one in, here's a clip from a PBS Documentary that highlights Idina Menzel and Kristen Chenoweth rehearsing "For Good."

How much do I love that? From one Wicked fan to another, thanks! I watched the 3rd video and I didn't cry, but I got goosebumps. I remember seeing Kristin Chenowith on the Rosie O'Donnell show way back in the day. I loved her then, and I still love her--what a talent! And Idina Menzel rocks! Let's go see Wicked again, okay?
Loved Wicked!
One of my favorite musicals!!! We got to see Idina Menzel and it was a dream come true! Lara & Shelley:
Count me in for tickets to go see Wicked!
GIRLS NIGHT OUT BABY!!!!
Wow! We've wanted to see Wicked for a very long time. We're only 2 hours driving distance from Manhatten. Hopefully we can see it before we move back west. That was cool...thanks for sharing!
