Wicked has so many reasons to be a person's favorite. The singing, the script, the actors(possibly the sweetest and greatest people ever), and.... THE COSTUMES! I'd most likely give my life just to have one of the costumes from this number in my possession, simply amazing!
We're doing this for choir and in one of our rehearsals our animateur's voice was going, so she said 'the wizard ... will be loud'! It was fricking hilarious, but I guess you probably had to be there to appreciate it
Although I think it is a universal story, the history of 19th century Amtrica plays a large patr in the structure, symbolism and themes of this work, and America can be rightly proud of this literary classic.
Our show choir a group older than us did this song and we only saw them preform it during rehersals so I thought the words were " Watch your day in the Emerald City " they also did " The merry odd land of Oz" From "the wonderful wizard of Oz" and " He's the Wiz"
Me, I like the accents, I'm english and used to tthe accent and I think it suits the character quite well. The singing is great too. The american accented songs throw me off cause I'm not used to them, but I don't say they're ruined! I love them, actually... Anyways, awesome, thanks!
Watched it live in london, absolutely brilliant, my friends convinced me to come even though I don't like the wizard of oz and I'm so glad I went, best musical I've ever watched (and I've watched a lot).
My choir is singing this song in a concert. In fact, I'm in the car with my iPhone on the way to the school! Can't wait! This is everyones favorite song! (other songs are pets call the whole thing off and why we sing) I kno. Sux right! Only 3 songs! But the band is playing 2. I'm gonna stop this comment b4 it gets 2 long. Wait... 2 late. =/
Helen Dallimore is Austrailian not British. I was fortunate enough to see Kerry & Helen in Jan. 2007 - Both were awesome! Can't wait for Kerry to take Broadway by storm - her strong vocals add that edge to Elphaba that is only closely matched by Carmen Cusack - Idina was fantastic, and has a wonderful recording vocal. Kerry's new CD with two new recordings from Wicked comes out in July!
I dont understand why people insist on fighting about "whos the better Glinda" or "Whos the better Elphaba" seriously people? Do you have nothing better to do than criticize people for something you cant even come close to doing yourselves?? Think about it, If they are on broadway or west end...they wouldnt have gotten the parts if the casting directors thought they sucked! Just enjoy each performers take on the character for what it is!!
i did the wicked medley for my school concert it was awesome and it was so cool :) and i almost forgot... H.A.G.S (post to another place like you tube say that i told you to do it)
Wow... I love this song, but I forgot about the part where she says "I want to remember this moment, always. Nobody's pointing, nobody's staring, for the first time, I'm somewhere where I belong." That made me feel so bad for her!!!! Thankfully they came back in with giant Wiz-o-mania characters. :D
i had'nt watched a vid of the london cast before but i absolutely love alexia now!!! she looks and sounds a great deal like idina, and the other girl is good too but i like kristen much better :)

Seeing Idina without Kristin breaks my heart
Me too sometimes
Same here.
Agreed
Same
You're just looking at the songs, but if you follow the actual plays, you'll love it. Believe me when I tell you, you won't be disappointed.
I love this song with the London cast. Their accents are so fun.

I love Idina! Wish I'd seen her when she was Elphaba! Iv only seen Alexia Khadime but she's still amazing!
I Lovee The Guy Who Speaks At The Start!
He Was Awesome In Britannia High!!
And Am Sad Now That He Has Left :(
This Is Quite A Good Song xx
I WAS BLOWN SO MANY TIMES BY THIS VIDEO
Honestly the Hammerheads are terrifying, they've always been terrifying
ZoLexa no they weren't
Well maybe a tiny bit
This song will be stuck in my head forever. D:
This song always reminds me of one of those songs they play at Disney World parades!
it makes me like elphie even more when she says nobody pointing nobody stareing im finally in a place where i belong the green girl has a heart!!!!
This song always reminds me of those songs they play at Disney World parades!
No matter wear wicked is performed it's always amazing.
Glinda with a prim and proper British Accent is utterly perfect.
I agree! Idina and Kristin have the best chemistry! They will never be matched as a pair! I wish I could have seen them together.
i'm loving the costume
i long to preform this play for millions
we sang this song for are big choir show case and defying gravity and popular and changed for good.. we did pretty good. i love this musicale
Ha, I love how Idina even looks good playing a green witch in a black dress. She's so pretty :D
Here, here! Nice to have someone else on-board.

I LOVE WICKED!!!!!!!!!!!!
It isn't an "American Story" it's a universal story or at least a story the whole world can relate to.
im going to see it on the 12th of feb...for the 6th time,lol! its amazing!
Nice to be on-board, skipper!
I loved 'Chamelion Solutions', by the way, and I had a really good laugh at the ghostbuster wallpaper.. that's inspired!
i enjoy it so much

I absolutly love this song. Elphaba sounds like Maureen from Rent.
Watching you people preform in London was the best experience of my life. I love you guys.
i enjoy this song
he is presented as prince in the show!
Our show choir a group older than us did this song and we only saw them preform it during rehersals so I thought the words were " Watch your day in the Emerald City " they also did " The merry odd land of Oz" From "the wonderful wizard of Oz" and " He's the Wiz"
im going to see it in SF in 2 weeks and i can't wait! i hope its good. :)

Anyways, awesome, thanks!
Saw this for the second time this week. I forgot how amazing it is
OMG. I saw them in London last year. They are great. I saw it also in CLeveland and the London cast is amazing and more animated!!!
He is. Glinda even says it in the play when he first shows up.

I enjoyed my time in the Emerald City. ;) It blew me away like I've never been blown away! I would have been more satisfied if it was longer, though.
i saw rachel tucker, she's amazing!! =D
Just amazing
Cool. I'm going to see it soon and I'm sooooooo excited!! Wicked's just... well, wicked!

i love this song
I love this music!!!
I love the tune :)
i dream of being in this piece!
I really do love this music
London has being doing shows before any other country in the world thats what britains famous for
i love helen's squeeky high voice! its simply perfect for glinda
has anyone noticed how everytime the introduce them they have to say: Our spell-binding collegues from Wicked! ?
i always thought that glinda would have a british accent but i still love kristen
saw the play in london
it was AMAZING
oh wow, im gonna freak out, my chorus class has to sing this at disney world *sigh* well, it looks different.....I should fit in perfectly!
nice! just saw this for the first time, totally sweet idea :)
*keeps singing* "one short day, in the emerald city"
woop! me toooooooooo!
i did the wicked medley for my school concert it was awesome and it was so cool :)
and i almost forgot...
H.A.G.S (post to another place like you tube say that i told you to do it)
we're singing this for chorus :)
Dallimore is different, Menzel is AMAZING -nuff said :)
awesome diction
This isn't bad by any means, but i've seen Kristin so many times as Glinda, this just doesn't sound right..
i totally agree
It's the London Colliseum, while the musical plays at the Apollo Victoria Theater.
This is My Favorite song in wicked. Right next to defying gravity.
感動した!
Tha top 2 r tha best!!! lol xxx
idina rocks!
BONGGA!!!!
is so cute
Happy to. We probably both have more important things to do.
this is my favorite music I love the color of green
*nobody's staring* except the entire paying audience lol
@MaybeRumpel I agree! She's a little bit of all right. A bloody good, Glinda.
Wow... I love this song, but I forgot about the part where she says "I want to remember this moment, always. Nobody's pointing, nobody's staring, for the first time, I'm somewhere where I belong." That made me feel so bad for her!!!! Thankfully they came back in with giant Wiz-o-mania characters. :D
@mariannit97 yes it is him. He originated the role of Fieryo in the London production.
i really think that wicked should become a film with Idina and Kristin
i had'nt watched a vid of the london cast before but i absolutely love alexia now!!! she looks and sounds a great deal like idina, and the other girl is good too but i like kristen much better :)
hes def. an australian! lol thats why his voice is amazing. lol
Agreed, I just saw it in San Fran too and thought it was amazing. Even though Idina is the original, I much preferred the show I saw in SF.
i noticed that to. must be a tradition.
