      She was perfect for it. In light of Stephen Schwartz's having supported her career for years before that (e.g., playing piano for her 2017 shows at Sub Culture, like th-cam.com/video/JO4KhLsVxdg/w-d-xo.html), she may have known she had a fighting chance.

      You mean she was not on Broadway doing Wicked before this? Only National Tours?

      My wife is the biggest Wicked and Idina fan, but when we saw the show with Jessica my wife cried. She said Jessica is second only to the OG.

    She’s truly one of the greatest talents Broadway has ever seen, and I know that’s saying a lot. But she is incredible inside and out. I’m so happy my first time seeing wicked was with her as Elphaba in 2017. She is amazing! 💚

      UnicornGamer 99 this is pulling from some random source from when this was the broadway cast. It also lists a Glinda standby which a movie wouldn’t have. Def not legit, unfortunately.

    Did that really just happen?
    Have I actually understood?
    This weird quirk I've tried to suppress or hide
    Is a talent that could help me meet the Wizard
    If I make good
    So I'll make good
    When I meet the Wizard
    Once I prove my worth
    And then I meet the Wizard
    What I've waited for since, since birth
    And with all his Wizard wisdom
    By my looks, he won't be blinded
    Do you think the Wizard is dumb?
    Or like Munchkins so small-minded?
    No, he'll say to me I see who you truly are
    A girl on whom I can rely
    And that's how we'll begin
    The Wizard and I
    Once I'm with the Wizard
    My whole life will change
    'Cause once you're with the Wizard
    No one thinks you're strange
    No father is not proud of you
    No sister acts ashamed
    And all of Oz has to love you
    When by the Wizard, you're acclaimed
    And this gift or this curse
    I have inside
    Maybe at last, I'll know why
    When we are hand in hand
    The Wizard and I
    And one day, he'll say to me "Elphaba
    A girl who is so superior
    Shouldn't a girl, who's so good inside
    Have a matching exterior?
    And since folks here to an absurd degree
    Seem fixated on your verdigris
    Would it be all right by you
    If I de-greenify you?"
    Of course that's not important to me
    All right, why not", I'll reply
    Oh, what a pair we'll be
    The Wizard and I
    Yes, what a pair we'll be
    The Wizard and
    Unlimited
    My future is unlimited
    And I've just had a vision almost like a prophecy
    I know, it sounds truly crazy
    And true, the vision's hazy
    But I swear, someday there'll be
    A celebration throughout OZ
    That's all to do with me!
    And I'll stand there with the Wizard
    Feeling things I've never felt
    And though I'd never show it
    I'd be so happy, I could melt
    And so it will be for the rest of my life
    And I'll want nothing else 'til I die
    Held in such high esteem
    When people see me, they will scream
    For half of Oz's favorite team
    The Wizard and I

    I'm jaded by Idina Menzel having originated the role of Elphaba, and thus the song as well, but Ms Vosk did an INCREDIBLE job here. I love the emotion, playfulness, pining, and pain all together she brings to the song. She definitely made it fun, at the same time. She gave Ms Menzel a run for her.........talent.

      @ongogablogian608 4 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      Nate Woehr it’s different. Ariana sang it in her pop style which was cool, but not suited for broadway. Jessica Vosk masters the phrasing and elocution, which is key in live musicals, and something Ariana does not excel at. In other words, for Vosk phrasing > belting/riffs. For Ariana, belting/riffs >> phrasing.
