Her diction is so clear here wow. Also the battle cry at the end reminds me of the first half of Willemijn Verkaik’s battle cry in her final DG performance.
Oh my goodness I sent you an email. I had the privilege of seeing them live and it changed my life. I’d love to be able to listen to it all again. I was in 5th grade. Thank you for having this up!
I love that Sho and Meghan’s acting choices told a different story than Kristin and Idina . Sho as Elphie exhibits a massive manic episode during DG and that was why Meghan as Glinda couldn’t join her. She was wayyy too crazed and manic and Meghan as Glinda just can’t trust anyone that unstable. Their Defying Gravity was not about control it was about trust. Meghan’s Glinda just couldn’t trust Sho’s Elphie 2 ever be happy working in the system. Meghan’s Glinda had to release her. Meghan’s Glinda knew that Elphaba had to be her enemy if they were ever going to affect change in Oz.
It’s honestly easier to sing it faster. Less breath needed to hold out the longer notes. But also, the singers tend to rush the orchestra during this scene bc of how fast paced everything is happening in general.
I tried to email you with a request for the full audio, but I received a bounce back that the address was unable to receive emails. Can you please help? Thanks!
@@adamhetrick9182OMG, I DISCOVERED WHAT HAPPENED! I put "cornuts" in the description, but actually, it's "c0rnuts" with a 0. I'm feeling so stupid rn😭 Try to send it again, i already fixed it
@@KAZAM707 Yes, it's her! She indeed played Glinda on Broadway. She replaced Laura Bell Bundy as standby in August 2004 and in May 31st she took over the role!
Shoshana, oh my! Her intonation is so perfect, always on point, I haven’t heard her sing flat or pitchy. What a singer
One of the best vocalists Wicked ever had
@@heathermsskirthonestly, one of the best vocalists alive today.
@@melindamercier6811 yes
Megan and Shoshanna's acting choices are palpable through their voices, that is true skill (and holy fuck the horns and drums!!)
YEAH! They are my favorite Elphaba and Glinda duo, they're just another level
Elphaba Lives! The ultimate french horn recording.
Yes! The orchestra was at its peak during Shoshana's run
@@heathermsskirt no fr, the most recent orchestra I heard was lacking that strong brass section.
@@edenslittlebean7637 Ikr? The french horns in that time added such an effect to the climax
@@heathermsskirtShe knew she was being recorded every night so she always stuck to what orchestra allowed her to do.

More like the other way around. Shoshana was the 1st full time replacement for Idina.
This is the inspiration performance for the film.
LEGENDARY INDEED!!!!!!! Oh my god, incredible!
yup my fav wicked audio
This is downright the best Defying Gravity ever recorded
@@heathermsskirtonly one that comes close is Jessica (and Cynthia, although not on the stage). Willemijn is a bit overrated wbk
This performance changed lives

QUEEN SHOSHANA
All hail the queen!
this audio is finally back on yt
Ikr!? This recording is just too iconic to disappear
Tenho a diva como figura materna
Não esperava uma br aqui KKKKKKKKKKKKK
Eu falo um poućo portuguès.
@@BroadwayLover2 Acredita que eu sou brasileiro? KKKKKKKK
Honestly this might be her best and cleanest DG ever (on Broadway at least).
Thank you for recording and posting it. This was the weekend I saw it live
Oh, I didn't recorded it, I just uploaded it
Anyways, it’s so cool that you managed to see them live! I would do anything to see them at that era
6:38 I love you, Sho 🥹🥹🥹💚💚💚

YES! Sho and Megan takes on the role are just unmatchable for me
Thanks for releasing this amazing capture of mine❤❤❤❤
So I guess that eras accounts about Shoshana are now a thing, LOVED IT❤
I listen to this audio of Wicked more than i listen to the OBCR
SO REAL
The tempo.....good god let them breathe
It’s a little fast but nothing compared to what the orchestra did to Idina at the 2004 Tonys.
I personally always prefered that tempo! Anyways it's so amazing that they managed to keep up showing no struggle

My first Elphie and Glinda - saw them both a few weeks after this recording and they were amazing! 🥹🥰
OMG you're so lucky!
I'd give my kidney just so I could see them live at that era
This IS my OBC
They used to play the song so much much faster back then lol
Personally that's my favorite tempo
Is there a full audio of this performance?
Yes! If you are interested, you cam contact me in my e-mail in description
I tried to email you with a request for the full audio, but I received a bounce back that the address was unable to receive emails. Can you please help? Thanks!
That's odd... I think it's because I was out of Internet earlier, try to send it again
@@heathermsskirt Hmmm, it still bounces back saying that the email address you list doesn't exist. Is there another way I can reach you?

Is Morrible Rue McClanahan?
Yup!
@@heathermsskirtomg I thought this was a joke! Just googled. What a treat that must have been! I’ve heard this audio so many times and had no idea 😮
Is that Megan hilty? Did she play glinda on Broadway?
@@KAZAM707 Yes, it's her! She indeed played Glinda on Broadway. She replaced Laura Bell Bundy as standby in August 2004 and in May 31st she took over the role!
Esse é o audio que ela não voa?
@@gzescobar Não não, nessa performance ela voa normalmente
What just happened? 😅
I sent you an email about the audios . Are you busy?
I just saw it. Sorry for not responding, I was busy trying to post this audio
