Defying Gravity (Rachel Tucker performing on "Dancing on Ice')
Rachel Tucker (current UK Elphaba) performing the showstopper, 'Defying Gravity', on ITV1's 'Dancing on Ice' 2011. Obviously, she is accompanied by ice skating which is obviously unusual (and slightly weird if you ask me!) but nether the less, a spectacular performance of a song rarely performed on TV.

    The slowed down "As someone told me lately everyone deserves the chance to FLY!" should've been standard across all production. It's ALWAYS rushed.

    You wander off watching other Elphabas, but every now and then you return and are reminded about the incredibleness of Rachel Tucker’s Elphaba of 2010-2011. That is the sort of singing + acting that is unmatched. In the theatre she was captivating, enthralling… just commanded the performance space like nobody else. The flying sequence was magical in a way that I haven’t quite seen it done. The way she ‘levitated’ while blowing this song out of the depths of her soul was breathtaking.

    How does Glinda’s bubble work? I would be worried about falling out.

    • @ECKohns
      @ECKohns Před 5 měsíci

      There is a safety wire holding her in. If you pay close attention, whenever she steps down from her bubble or gets up in it, you can see there’s a cast member who comes from behind and attaches her in. That person always then gives her a light pat on the back to tell her she’s been secured (meaning she must not move) or detached (meaning she can now step off).

    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
