- Rachel Tucker performs an outstanding Defying Gravity at her 59th Elphaba performance back in London, at the evening performance on October 29th, 2016. Features many vocal gems, including her so if you care to "find me" and "look" riffs, her solo riff, her rare but beautiful high F riff, and her high second bring me down. Madame Morrible is Anita Dobson, Glinda is Suzie Mathers.

She sounds so IN IT in this one. So present in every moment.
I also just...can't believe that riff. Tapping a G flat like it's nothing.
IMournTheWicked055 where is the G flat and the F? I dunno notes. I was always rubbish in music class.
Nik W. the high F is on the "I'm flying high deFYing gravity" its high and loud and the G flat is part of the high F riff so she jumps up a note so it's more like deFFFFYYYing gravity
@Fearn and Tucker’s Angel Forever I can honestly say I prefer Rachel overall to Idina. She's MUCH better at Defying Gravity. Acting-wise, I think Idina was Elphaba, but Rachel is interesting to watch because she brought something new and different to the role. A mixture of grittiness and vulnerability all at once that was fascinating to see, that was VERY different from Idina's take on Elphaba.
@Fearn and Tucker’s Angel Forever NEVER and I mean NEVER tell me what I can and cannot say in my OWN WORDS. EVER. That's insulting to me. Thanks. Chill the fuck out and calm down. And it's HARDLY an insult to Rachel whatsoever to mention Idina. I've seen both of them perform Elphaba, and I loved them both in the role. I liked Stephanie J. Block, Shoshana Bean, Eden Espinosa and Jackie Burns in their portrayals of Elphaba also. Is it insulting for me to mention them? I think not.
That's all I was really saying. No need to pick it apart and insult me. And if you paid attention, you will note I stated I PREFERRED Rachel in the role. I even AGREED with, and gave a thumbs up to your comment about Rachel being an "untouchable" and "best" Elphaba and I STILL got a huffy puffy bitchy attitude from you about it.
I've had it with DRAMA QUEENS on really trivial matters such as these. Opinions are subjective when it comes to acting and vocal performance, but I am entitled to have my opinion and you don't have to agree, but you don't have to be so insulting and derisive toward me about it either.
You can tell how much she's sung the set for the musical- because her voice has matured from repetition and familiarity- she's also making her own decisions about the length of the notes she's singing. She's amazing.....
Her high riff and second "Bring me down" riffs give me LIFE
yesss!
Totally agree with this😌
omg she was ON FIRE in this performance!?
"Defying " Run 7:11 😍
She is SO nuanced. I love it, how she goes from that growl, right into such a smooth and beautiful battle cry at the end. What I love about her is there's always something new to discover with listening to her. AHMAZING! Felt SO BLESSED to have seen her in New York. INSANE TALENT.
I love Rachel's energy, I was bullied for years, this song and performance is the reason I'm still here, I'm hoping to be one of the first males to do this live on stage
Oh. My. God. This is just ridiculous! I'm a grown man and when she hit that flying scene on "It's MEEEEEE!!!!" I CRIED MY EYES OUT. She is amazing in this role. Amazing.
Rachels voice has such a maturity to it
I was lucky enough to experience Rachel's Elphaba this january! It was OUTSTANDING! Bought randomly tickets for a date and somehow it turned out it was her first day back in the role after christmas break! Couldn't believe my luck
mmmm that's the Rachel Tucker we love
How is she growling and sustaining some of these notes in her chest?!! Like she hardly mixed at all during this performance! How?! Those growls sounded a bit heavy on the chords but, my word it was phenomenal!
Agreed
Definitely her best version of Defying gravity! :O With all of riffs I love sooo much!
Dalibor Buranda she's not performing on that day😬 Alice will be on :)
+Team Emphaba I've just seen it! I don't know what to do? 😰😱
Dalibor Buranda you'll love Alice ;)
+Team Emphaba I will try to change my ticket or sell them. And if I won't do that, I will see Alice. But I need Rachel! Especially her own, great riffs! 😍
trust me, you need to see (and HEAR!) Alice.
She ripped my face off, her voice is just W O W no words for it.
Thank you SO MUCH for posting this!!!! I was in the audience and literally all of this was a blur because I was crying so much!
I love Rachel Tucker singing Defying Gravity
Suzie Mathers and Rachel Tucker were the best duo to grace the west end 🎭💚
WHAT A QUEEN. WHAT A POWERHOUSE. WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW.
This fills me with the confidence that her last could be more than anyone thinks.
Ryan Souch could be even better than the 10th anniversary DG :p
@@Dan-pv7cu Don't Tell Sarah Rumbelow, but I love Rachel Tucker, Alice Fearn And Wille Verkaik. She can call Ms. Verkaik "talentless" all she wants, but I know Willemijn has an amazing voice. Willemijn is not an off-key singer, she is an ON-KEY singer.
Amazing week for her! Damn wish I went on that Saturday night now! Must be her first high f riff back in London is it not
PinkgoesgoodwithGreen I think it's her 3rd or 4th 😝
PinkgoesgoodwithGreen I was there that night, she was fantastic live and she's definitely my favourite elphaba out of the ones I've seen.
Damn I wish we had audios coming out the wazoo over here in the states :'(
Feel free to buy the people I know who audio (and me) Broadway tickets and I'm sure they will appear ;)
Elphaba Lives I do too, expect a lot in March 😉
Saw Wicked in New York last week @ the Gershwin Theater, seeing it again in December at the Kennedy Center. Obsessed.
Who wouldn't? xD
Add NOBODY in all of OZ! No Wizard that there IS OR WAS! IS...EVER..GONNA...BRING...ME DOOOOOOWNNN!!!
This made me smile so much
THAT GROWL ON ME GIVES ME LIFE
No one will ever play this part better than Rachel 😍
mary kate morrisel does tbh
@@crunchypuggles2212 I agree!!! I am working Wicked right now in detroit (Wardrobe Attendant). They have been here 4 weeks and every time she sings defying gravity I get chills...My favorite!!!
@Tucker,Fearn and Bentley’s Angel Forever I have my opinion and you have yours. Rachel was wonderful also. You need help!!!
Alice and Rachel’s Angel Forever i agree at heart and yes Rachel is my Elphaba (And Alice)
wow wow wow wow. I NEED to get there to see her again. And soon.
The greatest Elphaba to grace to stage 💚

Sorry sounds beautiful
Hi, do you have dancing through life of this day? We saw wicked in uk in our honeymoon and love it.
That 'it's me' sounds so painful but overall it was a really good performance with all her riffs!
Does it?
CogAviation he means that sometimes she sounds very scratchy on some notes but that's just how she does it
@Team Queen’ s Fearn Tucker and Bentley Forever its just because its growled but its the way she does it and that's why I love her
Alice and Rachel’s Angel Forever I love Rachel’s Riffs in “Defying” “Find me” BMD 1 and the Last note
TheSixWickedWaitresses I wish I can sing defying Gravity like Rachel T did
Holy shit! BRING MEE-EEE DOOWW-NNM! Wooooowww! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
9,999 views!
is there a wicked dvd of the musical?
Bla Bla no.. sadly :( but there’s a movie musical adaptation coming out in 2019
🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
Anybody know when her last performance in London will be?
28th of Jan 2017
TheSixWickedWaitresses and during the climax of DG did Rachel’s last note have a strong F5 note? Just asking
She seems really bored and flat at the beginning… definitely not her best. Sounds like she’s got toothache or something
@@mrbroadwaydork I’ve relistened and there is just something a bit off with her voice here. You can hear at the start a few Americanisms slip through. It’s still great but her voice sounds different here than any other audio… I guess we’ll never know for sure tho :)
I seen her 4 years ago at the appollo theatre in London and cried through the whole thing best Elphie I've seen outstanding show 💚💚💚💚
