I never saw this recording before! Thanks for have posted! I love Idina as Elphaba in London, don't get me wrong she's great on Broadway but in London she was just the best ever!
I wouldn't say I love Idina, and I wouldn't say I hate her. I saw her in London and she was amazing, but all these die hard fans who diss every other performer just cos Idina was the original are a bit sad tbf. This is one of her better performances. She sounds excellent. I agree with the people who are annoyed by Helen though. She's okay, but where she screams on Elphaba's line, it totally takes the atmosphere away IMO.
@MikeHaber, Kristin was the ONLY Glinda Idina was evenly matched with..all the other Glindas she performed with, she BLEW out of the water. Helen was the WORST I thought, JLT was second, Kristin, her equal ;-)
i watch so many defying gravity videos and just see one time an Idina one it's just i don't find reasons to don't say that she's an unique and magnificent Elphaba
Omg how did you find this? Thank you! She sounds very close to the recording here. Didn't think that was even possible as the recorded version is inhumanely difficult!
wow! best performance ive seen from her! i would have loved to be there to see this live! she really is elphaba :) guys, dont get mad at helen because she was reciting her LINES the way she was supposed to. for some of you this obsession with idina is getting a little unhealthy..
Helen Dallimore is such an annoying Glinda, I feel bad Idina had to be with her. It's not even that she screams the Elphie line that is annoying but it's that she does it literally at the same time Idina is singing "It's Me". Every other Glinda is able to do it without covering up Elphaba.
She got the timing down perfectly for the flying. And I love the vibrato on "so". ending was perfect.
I love Helen's scream. Obnoxious yet obviously caring for Elphaba's safety - perfectly in character for Glinda :)!
yes i agree
She nailed the last note
Idina's best!

No she's not, I mean, it's allowed, but her screaming "ELPHIE!" is her choice.
Sorry can’t help the obsession.
*sobs grossly in adoration*
I am even more gay for Idina now holy shit
Which Glinda do you think Idina is amazing with?
Kristin Chenoweth, Jennifer Laura Thompson, or Helen Dallimore
Nice to see you here!

Helen’s voice doesn’t fit with Idina’s tbh... when they harmonize it doesn’t sound good at all
Kristin!
