Something I’ve always noticed about this performance is that she seems to already have the glam elphaba act 2 makeup on - like the more distinct contour and lips,etc.
WAIT! WAIT! HOLD UP JUST A SEC! This is the proshot! (as in, same performance) I found a close one a while ago, but this is a perfect match! I'll be testing it in editing just to be sure, but I'm positive this time I found it!
This is definitely the proshot performance. As someone else pointed out, she’s wearing the act 2 glam makeup already because it read better on the older cameras.
I’m almost certain this is not the same performance from the pro shot. She sings “flying solo” to score in the pro shot and she doesn’t do the witchy fingers on “take a message” in the pro shot. I bet that pro shot was filmed around the summer of that year though, so close to this.
@@Scandisk10 she does riff "solo" in the proshot. It's a subtle riff that with the compression of the audio is barely audible. I'm fairly certain it's the same riff as here, but again I have to check
Finally the defying gravity from august 17 2005 video is BACK. Thanks . Keep making these amazing videos and You might get a little surprise at the end .🎉
This is one of the all time best performances of this song, acting and singing. Period.
agreed !!
Yep!
We often discuss when Elphaba and Glinda’s opt up, but hello Ben Vereen 00:38 👌🏽
You're SO right, wow
8:13 that F#5 riff will forever be my absolute favourite opt up that has ever been created in the history of this song.
Megans choices and listening is incredibly beautiful
At the very beginning. 3:10 mark
oh my god, the simultaneous flick of the heads at 6:25 obsessed
It's actually around 6:19 but yes it's so good
@@jovindsouza3407there’s another one at 6:25 too. Have another watch
@@jovindsouza3407 no...there is clearly one at 6:25. Both things can be true

Very true! How's it going Josh?
Also the Act 2 boots.
@@tggfriends92 Not in the first one?
I love this show so much
Saw all of them for my 13th b-day the month before this was filmed - such an incredible cast for my first time! 😍
that's so cool, i'm so jealous lol

oh she WAS elphaba herself right there!!!!
The singing is fine but the camera work spoils it somewhat by zooming in too close. We can't see how high she is above the stage.
She’s over singing. Don’t like this at all!
Absolutely not. She is using a perfect mix belt and hitting every note, and was the first actress to do so in this role on broadway.
@@mrbroadwaydorkyes! She was the trendsetter to the Elphie riffs
