This is the song. Everyone thinks defying gravity is the theme song but this is the one that captures the entire feeling of the show and the relationship of the characters.
Great reaction. Defying gravity is the show stopper, but this song is what the play is about. I love the double meaning of "for good" - for the better and also forever
@@TeaTimeWithTravis There was a version knocking around of the last time they (Kristin and Idina) sang it together. It's even more powerful if that's possible...
The song is beautiful, these voices are sublime, but it's the meaning behind the words that make this song so powerful. How we treat others, whether it's a single encounter or a relationship of any kind, can change a person's life or even the course of history. Makes you think about those who have impacted your life even by a single comment and especially love those who made a big impact and feel sorrow if they are no longer in your life. It also makes you reflect on how you have treated others and wonder how much you might have changed them not for the better but possibly for good.
I love the meaning of them switching harmonies lines showing they truly have changed eachother embodied musically as glinda did the high harmony for the rest of the show and elephants was on the bottom but for this number they switched
I know I am late to this video and haven’t read all the comments, but I want to point something out. At about 4:35, when they sing that they’ve been changed for the better, the harmony shifts. The entire musical, when these two harmonized, Elphaba went low and Glinda went high. Here, they switch.
This is top 3 musicals. And one of my favorite all time songs. My aunt passed away 7 years and she was my BEST friend in the whole world and I have since dedicated this song to her and cry (or get emotional) every time second verse starts.
I’ve seen Wicked 3x in person and it gets better every time! I have met so many people that have changed me for both good and bad. Like you said, not everyone is a positive influence. I do my best to be. Wonderful reaction!! ❤
This song is just glorious. I've had the privilege of seeing this musical twice and I'm hoping to go again soon. It's my favourite! Your reaction was so moving and I really thank you for reacting to this. I reckon you'd love the live musical too (sorry I don't know if you've seen it). But I can't recommend it enough if you ever visit the UK!
If you ever get the chance to see Wicked, GO! I've seen it 3 times and it is absolutely spectacular. Super excited (and a tad nervous) for the movie later this year.
This is, by far, my favorite musical of all time. Probably followed closely by Hamilton. I've seen it at least 5 times, maybe more. The music is so overall amazing that each performer is able to make it their own without losing the overall quality.
I love you Travis! You are so good. You bring me so much joy. You are insightful, sensitive, interesting and empathetic. I need you to know that you are special, unique, worthy, valuable and unrepeatable! Travis, you are Enough. Just as you are.
one of my favorite songs. This was the first musical i ever saw, and now almost a decade later im a theatre major. I had a best friend in middle school and we were both obsessed with Wicked. She ended up moving across the country in the middle of 8th grade and on her last day we sang this to each other.
This musical is amazing and it's amazing how elphaba is looked at as the wicked witch when really she is the good witch and glinda is the bad one. I've always loved elphaba.
I’ve heard this song a million times, but watching your video something just jumped out at me: every other time Glinda and Elphaba harmonized Glinda would take the higher melody. Kinda showing how she thought she was better than Elphie. But in this one, Elphaba did! Showing that Glinda went through a bit of an emotional maturity. Holly crap lol
I saw this twice a week apart when it first was on Broadway. I took my daughter to see it in 2019 and it became one of her favorites. It’s an amazing show and you can’t get through it without Kleenex.
Man. This brings the tears every time. My friend Kenny was my first room mate. We had a lot of fun. He was such a good friend. He was beautiful and funny and had no reason to befriend soneone like me. He got into drugs and i became a drunk but we got sober. We had one good year of being clean together then he died tragically. This song always reminds me of him.
This is the one that gets stuck in my head most of all from this show. I was fortunate enough to see the touring production of Wicked last summer while on vacation in Minnesota, and it's even better seeing it in context... but it's always so moving and meaningful.
Honesty just thinking about Ariana playing glenda makes me so excited. we will have clean audio version of this song in her vocals. I can just imagine she is ecstatic to play a role she’s dreamed of her whole life. Loved your reaction
Please check out the British Musical Boy Band called Collabro. They have just finish their final tour and this song is the song they picked to sing for each other. They won Britain's Got Talent 2014. I think you have watched their performance at the auditions. In fact that is how I found your channel in the first place.
The line that guts me every time: "It well may be that we will never meet again in this lifetime." It wrecks me. My partner of 20 years, Michael, and I had tickets to see this show on Broadway in December of 2008. At the end of November, he suddenly got very ill, and were unable to travel to NYC to see the show. I gave the tix to my cousin and her sister in law (they had a blast). On January 1 of 2009, Michael went into ICU and never came out. He passed on March 3rd from lymphoma. The following year I finally got to see the show when it came to San Diego. I bawled my eyes out when they performed this song, thinking about Michael, especially when Elphaba sings the line I mentioned. It just resonates with me that we never know when might be the last time we'll be with someone. He would have loved this show. Now, every time I see Wicked (six times and counting), and every time I hear this song, I think of him ... and yes, I cry, EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. LOL ... Stephen Schwartz is a genius.
Sorry this comment is from 7 months ago but if you haven't seen the Tiny Desk concert you should, Stephen Schwartz talks about how he wrote this song and its beautiful
I was blessed enough to see the original cast with Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel, who had actually broke her leg and a dress rehearsal. So I actually got to see Kristin Chenoweth and Eden Espinosa. Which was absolutely majestic! This is a magical musical! Great REAL RAW reaction!
I saw this musical in San Francisco when it had its world premiere pre-broadway with the original cast and I knew then it would be a smash. And this song tears my heart out for so many reasons
I know that your friendship is very important to me . Even though I am just a random guy inside the cyber universe you always find time for me to send me at least a heart or an ok sign. You have no idea how much that means to me.. So you know... Love you señor! (No subtitles? Hard to understand for me.) Love the song though.
I needed this reaction today, so thank you! I've been super emotional and I checked out your reaction knowing what was going to happen as I listened to this song - I needed to feel that with someone else! Great reaction as always!
People wouldn't really define this as a "love song", but imo, it's the most loving song I've ever heard, and it hits me way harder than any romantic ballad ever could. I cry every time I listen to it, and it's just...so spectacularly moving. Absolutely love that this hit you in the same way, and I loved the reaction! I hope you get the chance to see Wicked someday, bc obvs this song gets even more meaningful w/ the proper context, as Elphaba and Glinda's relationship is obvs the heart of the whole show, and so many of the other songs contain at least a little part that deepens their relationship, so by the time you get to this song, "For Good", the weight of the meaning really hits home hard, bc you've gotten to SEE that impact that they're singing about for yourself. 💖
Oh Travis, Travis, Travis..... We have *GOT* to stop with the waterworks, or buy stock in Kleenex if you plan to react to every song on this album! This is my favorite song from this show (followed closely by Defying Gravity) and your reactions often reduce me to tears...in a good way. Oh, hell. The whole soundtrack is fabulous. I first fell in love with the book *"WICKED"* by Gregory Maguire when it came out almost thirty years ago. (He has since written three excellent sequels) I loved the story and the message. Then twenty years ago the first book was adapted beautifully for the stage and turned into a musical! Of course I didn't get to see it until five years later. And fell in love with it again. Now I understand it's being made into a movie (to be released in two years) with Ariana Grande as Glinda and Jeff Goldbloom as the Wizard! It's one of those gifts that just keeps on giving and giving and giving.....Another one of those things I have to learn patience to survive, grrrrr. In the meantime, a few years ago, there was a 15th Anniversary Wicked Halloween Special with past and current cast members and other stars (Adam Lambert, Pentatonix, etc.) performing the songs. Maybe not to react to...but at least to enjoy. Should be out there somewhere on TH-cam!
This is one of my favorites. We have seen the show 17 times and this is where I always cry. We went on the 10th anniversary cruise 10 years ago and met cast members and again they sang this and I cried
I love this show and have seen it multiple (multiple, multiple) times. This is truly a song that hits my heart and I have sent it to several friends over the years as a "this is you and me" song. Because they each changed me in different ways, fill different roles and have done life with me in "our" way. This is a glorious song. These two ladies ... whoof. Adore them! You MUST see this. No choice. Next time it comes near you, just go. Get a ticket by yourself and go to the Wednesday matinee. (And then go back on Saturday night.)
I've seen it live twice! It is so good! This one and Les Mis are probably my two favorite Musicals. I am a big fan of Loathing in this musical and it is amazing to see how the theme of Loathing turned into this one They have been working on a movie for Wicked for a while now and I so can't wait to see that one (though I am a bit hesitant because of the cast list)
If you get time, you should go look for a reunion version that they did about 6 years ago. It’s beautiful too and not much has changed. th-cam.com/video/TZ0pXUb5jVU/w-d-xo.html
This is the song. Everyone thinks defying gravity is the theme song but this is the one that captures the entire feeling of the show and the relationship of the characters.
Agreed.
Great reaction. Defying gravity is the show stopper, but this song is what the play is about. I love the double meaning of "for good" - for the better and also forever
Yes!!!
Their voices together are sublime
"you'll be with me like a handprint on my heart' starts the waterworks every single time for me
This song gets me every time.
Right in the feels. Every. single. time.
soooo good!

I've seen this musical about 3 times and it just gets better every time. This is one of my favourite songs for sure.
The song "Popular" make me laugh, but it helps to see the show live for that song.
I love the meaning of them switching harmonies lines showing they truly have changed eachother embodied musically as glinda did the high harmony for the rest of the show and elephants was on the bottom but for this number they switched

It’s strange how certain songs resonate with us and impacts on our reactions. You have a good heart😢
Thank you !
That really got to you, didn't it? I felt your emotion more than what I felt from the song. You are one special person. Love your reaction videos.
This is top 3 musicals. And one of my favorite all time songs.
My aunt passed away 7 years and she was my BEST friend in the whole world and I have since dedicated this song to her and cry (or get emotional) every time second verse starts.
Wow. ♥️
if you can find the a video of the last time they sung this on stage together they are both breaking down.
Yes, came to the comments to say this. That video tore me up! 😭

Heart tugging song. Yeah I cried. Touching reaction Travis.
This is, by far, my favorite musical of all time. Probably followed closely by Hamilton. I've seen it at least 5 times, maybe more. The music is so overall amazing that each performer is able to make it their own without losing the overall quality.
This is a fantastic play I loved it. You really need to see it. Thank you so much for doing this, I really needed to hear this today.
I love you Travis! You are so good. You bring me so much joy. You are insightful, sensitive, interesting and empathetic. I need you to know that you are special, unique, worthy, valuable and unrepeatable! Travis, you are Enough. Just as you are.
Great reaction! Had me in tears as well!!
Never saw the musical and never heard this song, but I was crying before you. Wow
Girl your missing out. Go listen to it
If you dont cry when this song comes on, somethings up. I am currently fighting to see through tears and trying to turn in a college assignment!
Love this reaction!
one of my favorite songs. This was the first musical i ever saw, and now almost a decade later im a theatre major. I had a best friend in middle school and we were both obsessed with Wicked.

Beautiful! Great reaction too
Bless you and your good heart❤️
This musical is amazing and it's amazing how elphaba is looked at as the wicked witch when really she is the good witch and glinda is the bad one. I've always loved elphaba.
I bawl like a baby every time I hear this one.
I’ve heard this song a million times, but watching your video something just jumped out at me: every other time Glinda and Elphaba harmonized Glinda would take the higher melody. Kinda showing how she thought she was better than Elphie. But in this one, Elphaba did! Showing that Glinda went through a bit of an emotional maturity. Holly crap lol
I love you so much.
This was my high school’s graduation song the year I graduated
I saw this twice a week apart when it first was on Broadway. I took my daughter to see it in 2019 and it became one of her favorites. It’s an amazing show and you can’t get through it without Kleenex.
One of my favourite songs. Resonates so much
Man. This brings the tears every time. My friend Kenny was my first room mate. We had a lot of fun. He was such a good friend. He was beautiful and funny and had no reason to befriend soneone like me. He got into drugs and i became a drunk but we got sober. We had one good year of being clean together then he died tragically. This song always reminds me of him.
I cry every time I hear this.
I am a subscriber on a different channel and searched something and spotted you here. Wow It’s time for tea.
I have listened to this song about 25 times and I cry every single time… I have stopped listening to this song anywhere near other humans 😂
This is the one that gets stuck in my head most of all from this show. I was fortunate enough to see the touring production of Wicked last summer while on vacation in Minnesota, and it's even better seeing it in context... but it's always so moving and meaningful.
honestly it has been in my head often since I heard it! lol
Gosh I wanna hug you so bad 💜🐻
Honesty just thinking about Ariana playing glenda makes me so excited. we will have clean audio version of this song in her vocals. I can just imagine she is ecstatic to play a role she’s dreamed of her whole life. Loved your reaction

Elphie and Glinda are CANONICALLY BISEXUAL (for Fiyero AND EACH OTHER).
uhggg, this is top tier. they are fucking amazing together.

I just saw Wicked a few weeks ago, and this was legit my favorite song. I did cry. And I'm a grown ass man!
i've seen it live twice (sadly not with the original cast), but one of the times was at the gershwin in NYC, which was amazing. wonderful show!

Please react to ”Elaborate lives” from Aida - the musical by Elton John!
Performed by Adam Pascal and Heather Headly. Steamy and beautiful!
This beautiful song will NEVER get old for me. It makes my heart smile 😊
