I think actually their different accents in this contribute to their character roles - showing how different they are = Galinda - the posh Upland, and Elphaba the more rugged Munchkinlander!
Sometimes I watch this just to remind myself that Idina got to do an American accent in the West End production just because.
Well yeah, but other people who have not only american accents but irish, or scottish or even a different english accent from the one the choose for the show had to talk differently from their natural accent. But idina got to be american because she's idina menzel
Eliza NoYouCan'tSeeMyRealLastName Number one, she chose to have an american accent, she still has to follow rules! If the producers in London said to her, "You have to have a British accent, she would proabaly have a British accent! Just because she is Idina does not mean she doesn't have too follow rules, she doesn't get to bend them either! Yes she is a huge success, but in no way does that mean she gets to act anyway she wants!
She couldn’t hold it up, she tried in rehearsals to put on an English accent and it didn’t work so they said she didn’t have to put one on
I saw it five times in London with Idina. The accent difference really didn’t matter because it added to Elphaba being different from all the others. The original West End Boq was Scottish and used his own accent too.
@Whiz And Friends I was saying it as a turn of phrase. Normally all Elphabas in the West End Production do an English accent., Idina was the exception. And while there are many rumors floating around as to the way she was given this privilege, I think it has more to do with the fact she originated the role and got a Tony for it, more than anything else. So yeah, she gets to do it just because she's Idina, and the production will probably never let anyone else do that
The way they described loathing... I thought it sounded more like love
Me too ! n_n
thats the funny part!
They really are almost the same thing anyway. ;P
+MrNegaBlox the line between love and hate is very thin
That's the point 😋
2:20 "every little trait however small" idina points at the brain
i love her
A lot of people seem to not like the different accents, but I actually feel like it was a really simple and convenient way to both cut back pre opening rehearsal time and thematically emphasize the otherness of Elphaba
Idina's laugh at the end made me giggle so hard! That was so adorable and heart warming to hear! Xxx
I love her laugh at the end. It's her final personal touch, her laugh is really pleasing to the ears xD
Presenter in 2006: it's been running for ages on Broadway.
Me in 2024: you have no idea 💚
I'm listening to this and I just keep thinking: 'They're picking on her, not just because she's green, but also because she's American."
@@imAwareOfYourAddress that was a perfectly good joke, cmon whyd you have to ruin it
I love the American & Brittish accent together tbh 😂😍
Me too!
1:20: How do I put this without being offensive?
1:21: Oh, I know!
i STILL wish I had been able to see Idina when she was in London
Idina is beyond adorable here!! :D
I like this Glinda. The actress doesnt try too hard to make her silly or act childish like thw others.
Oh I love Idina's cackle at the end...
it's for a charity tv programme called 'children in need' in britain. it happens every year to raise lots of money for deprived children around the world, people phone in and donate money, and in return, they throw a big long tv programme that lasts all night and lots of musicals and singers and comedians perform :)
Idina was wonderful as always, and taking into account her accent, I thought Annalene did a fine job. I agree that this musical was not made for an English accent, but they rolled with it and made it better than I was expecting with all these comments about it.
How can a musical discriminate an accent? It doesn't make sense
Idina was incredible! but the english accent and american accent for this song clashed ...
Emma Melaney Kerry Ellis is from Suffolk =P
Emma Melaney Also this is Annalene Beechey :)
I think it just tells the audience how different Galinda and Elphaba were...
Amber Bond they were both English
Ffion Lloyd They we’re both singing in english but Indian Menzel is american and you can clearly tell the two different dialects of who is british and american when they sing.
I love how at like 3:45 Idina is smiling when she's not suppose to. :)
It is a great show and a great film
Elphie has a lovely cackle. :)
am i the only one that cant get over that perfect laugh at the end?! idina. is. perfect. :))
The "I loathe it all" jingle seem like "I want it all."
Idina did the show in london for the original cast, too.
i agree kristin and idina are best
love the cackle at the end! XD
The very first video and song that made me fall in love with this musical. 2024 and still a huge fan.
i luv her laugh at the end
Annalene is so cute, this is my favorite Wicked Performance on TH-cam.
Idina's one of my favourites, although I've never seen her perform live, I've seen Rachel and Rachel's understudy, but I still seem to favour Idina over anyone I may ever see. :)
How did I only go and watch this last week! Want to see it again like now!!! Love Idina cackle at the end that was pure perfection!!
Emma Melaney I think that's part of the acting as well (except the smile, it was definetely not intentional haha)
Hey! Idina Menzel, the original Elephaba, was in this! I didn't 100% enjoy the Galinda actress, but you can't hate the original artist!
I absolutely love it when idina goes “your voice” in an English accent it’s so cute !
Coming back after Wicked the movie, because THIS is how I fell absolutely in love with Wicked 💚💓
Love Annalene Beechey!
I love how idina is "meditating" at 2:56 ;)
Idinas smile and then her laugh at the end
my childhood best friend and i practiced this song and popular for weeks and auditioned for our elementary school talent show. they wouldnt let us do loathing, but they let us do popular. as if telling someone theyre not good enough and you're gonna teach them how to be better liked is any better than an equal hatred, lmfao
I think this was one of Idina's better performances for this song. The riffs and everything were sooooo good compared to the soundtrack.
Also, I love the British chorus in the background. They enunciate every word so well!
I saw this back in march, i promise you your in for a wonderful night!
I already have and my opinion still stand, probably because I fell in love with Idina and Kristens versions of the songs :P
Annalene is amazing!
Whoever did these captions is a Saint! Best captions I've ever seen.
Idina Menzel = best Elphaba ever!!
I loved Helen but I aaadore Annalane. I am sooo sad Louise is leaving. I've seen her twice this year. Once for my sis's birthday and again for mine. I may be seeing her on leaving night for christmas
Annalene was lovely.
how can I not remember this memory I always watched children in need oh right I was 8 damn
I love this song
i love how idina said zero instead of "o" =]
Gemma Nevitt I would have too 😂
Remember seeing this and fell in love with the story musical.
For people saying the accents don’t suit it’s because it’s not the accent your used to, I remember seeing this in New York and accents ruined it for me as I wasn’t used to the voices but I love it outside of the New York accent
Didn't even wait for the end of the video before hitting "like"
When I saw this just two weeks ago, the cast were finding it really hard to keep a straight face at the scene just after the flying house appears! It was really endearing and funny! XD
I'm British too, I'm seeing it in London for my 16th and hoping my opinions change when I see it live :)
i love her laugh at the end of their song
I love how Elphaba nods to herself like "Yep, she's blond-"
when you hear it when both characters have english accent it sounds so much better i saw it on wednesday with nikki davis jones and gina beck they were really good!!
I think they were both phenomenal! Personally I think the real problem is the mixing of the two accents. They don't sound all that great together because they're singing the song two different ways really. But they're both really good
i think it works with a british person as Glinda (unfortunatley we have a talent for snotty accents) and it works well with Indina's dulcet tones
oh Idina, I love your laugh :
I know but at least their talent has been captured in the recordings of the songs they did :D x
I thought it was just popsical? Not papopsical...
In England, it's more common for children to call their fathers "papa". "Pop" is sort of unusual when used to refer to fathers. So it's more like "papa-psical".
D.N.A. Cat Same XD
D.N.A. Cat it is Popsical she just changed it. Which honestly, did not make me happy.
Idina Menzel is a goddess though
Annalene
@d0ggylover21 well to the start with, it's the london production and kristen never performed in london. the original (and at the time - current) glinda, helen dallimore must have been ill or away which is why the understudy, annalene beechey performed tonight :D
1:32 lmao 😂😂😂😂😂
Blonde.
2:55 Elphaba: *While meditating and using breathing exercises* azarath metrion zinthos.....
i kinda like the glinda in this clip especially how she sounds so posh but no one could ever be as good as kristen with idina.
She doesn't have a bad voice, really. It's just that the accent doesn't really go well (well, to us) with how it should sound like. I agree Idina's amazing though. :D
@DEFiiANCE yes there is :) haha...click on the box bottomright of the video which has a pointing up arrow, then click on the 'cc' box and then you can turn on or off closed captioning x
i love the...
BOO!
ahh!
*cackles*
same here
I actually like the clash of accents
Annalene Beechey - stand-by Glinda at the time
idina was so funny here
haha yeah they are. my school is going for a field trip. im so excited! haha that sucks. i hope you can get the money for a ticket:)
without kristen chenowith theres just something missing!
I loved it but the accent kinda didn't fit together. The British was very powerful while the other one sounded more American and that kinda didn't fit together. However this was amazing!
Storm Swirl I think it's because the other one is an American named idina menzel who also originated the role ...
Elphaba and Galinda are from two different parts of Oz.
The fancy accent is weird.
is it just me or was Idina smiling at 3:45 and 3:46 then suddenly drop back into character at 3:47?
She left that year and Idina went on to England for this benefit.
The bear is the logo for Children in Need - it's called Pudsey
This Galinda look like she doesn't know the lyrics that well... I think Kristin Chenoweth's Galinda was by far the best!! ...and Idina is perfect like always! ;)
i agree it doesn't flow as well with a English accent but she is still a very good actress and singer :)
is it me, or does idina mezel look better with a green face/ in the role of elphaba, than normally
well rachel is playing till october then louise dearman who used to play glinda on west end is taking over and shes pretty amazing tbh
I didn't know Idina was in the West End cast of Wicked?
She moved
Megan Hilty is my personal favourite.
It's basically the oppostie of the wicked movie lol (US/UK Glinda/Elphaba flipped)
I thought Idina only was on Broadway ?
i think kristen is the only one who can truly match idina's voice perfectly. no offence annalene. :D
it's unbearable as the British/American accents do not go well together.
Oh, I don't know...It kind of grew on me after a while...
i can count the pixels
The creepy breathing in the back round and the screech 😆😳😳
Is it just me or are Wicked always doing charity nights! They did when I was there as well! :) (I mean this in a good way btw! :P)
:( I didnt get to see the one in Rochester! I just didn't/don't have the money at the time. Did you know they're back? I got an email from DanCap bugging me to buy tickets with the money I don't have lol.
0:59 i thought they said there's been some confusion here and shiz XD
I don't think she's playing Elphaba when I see it, someone said she was leaving before I go
yes she is? glinda the good witch of the north.
i agree....and im british
How is it possible for 'blonde' to be so funny?!
Glinda
I wish Kristin was there :/
