      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.

    • @cannibalisticrequiem
      @cannibalisticrequiem 3 ปีที่แล้ว +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.

  • @rachelk3887

    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.

  • @selinalee1572

    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.

    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.
    Goodbye David 💕

    Having this performed by these two women approaching middle age, makes this much richer, with the maturity of experience behind them. The lyric and composition is inherently complex, so it is fitting. Almost as though they are finally able to do it justice now. these veteran performers turn this into real gold.

There are no words to describe the pain I feel from her passing and there is no amount of time to heal the wounds. Please if you are considering suicide just know that there are people who care about you. There are so so many things that happen after her death that she never got to experience or will get to experience. I miss her so so much but I'm still going to move forward with my life in memory of her.

    That we will never meet again
    In this lifetime
    So, let me say before we part
    So much of me
    Is made of what I learned from you
    You'll be with me
    Like a handprint on my heart
    And now whatever way our stories end
    I know you have rewritten mine
    By being my friend
    Like a ship blown from its mooring
    By a wind off the sea
    Like a seed dropped by a sky bird
    In a distant wood
    Who can say if I've been changed for the better
    But because I knew you
    * Kristin Chenoweth
    Because I knew you
    *Both
    I have been changed for good
    * Idina Menzel
    And just to clear the air
    I ask forgiveness
    For the things I've done, you blame me for
    * Kristin Chenoweth
    But then I guess
    We know there's blame to share
    *Both
    And none of it seems to matter anymore
    Like a comet pulled from orbit (like a ship blown from its mooring)
    As it passes the sun (by a wind off the sea)
    Like a stream that meets a boulder (like a seed dropped by a bird)
    Halfway through the wood (in the wood)
    Who can say if I've been changed for the better
    I do believe I have been changed for the better
    And because I knew you
    Because I knew you
    Because I knew you
    I have been changed
    For good

    I like to think that this is Glinda finally finding out Elphie is alive and this is their reunion song ❤️

      It was a sweet gesture but when a couple are singing a duet, it can also help with their timing of each note at the end. Watch as they punctuate each note by a small movement of their joined hands! Exquisite! They're both seasoned pros at the top of their game.

    Me: Oh cool
    Kristin: I've heard it said...
    Me: *bursts into floods of tears*
    I do roll my eyes at people who adamantly claim that any one acting portrayal is the "only" one like you can't enjoy all the wonderful women who have played these roles but damn do these two give me goosebumps. I feel like, and I have no insider knowledge to back this up, that they are not best friends in real life and never will be but they sincerely believe these words when they sing them to each other. It goes beyond acting and nice singing and into something else.

      They give me goosebumps as well, but so have others that have played these roles. This song always makes me tear up as it's the end of the show that I've sat mesmerized at many many times.

    One thing I've always loved is the resolution of their relationship in their voices. All show long Glinda was falsetto/operatic range; while Elphie was more midrange. But in this number they flip during the climax/duet; with Glinda going lower and Elphie going higher. Signifying in their voices the impact they've had on each other.

    My best friend was interred on Sunday 8.15.2021. This song was played at her funeral. This song is so touching and haunting.
