    She's absolutely gorgeous. And her accent is so soothing.

    The last thing I want to hear before I die is this woman reading Wicked(the novel) in that glorious accent.

      That would be PHENOMENAL. I think Rachel would be an AMAZING choice for the movie actually. She's a good actress as well as singer. Though it will probably go to someone like Anna Kendrick or Lea Michele.

      It's funny, because she is from Northern Ireland (as am I) and I absolutely hate the northern Irish accent, but most people from other countries say it's nice

    • @tonakings7600

      Adam Cunningham Really? I happen to find that accent so pretty and entrancing, especially when I here someone sing in it.

    watching this gave me the slightest bit of hope that even if you're from the other side of the world ( ireland in myself and rachel's case ) that i can still make something of myself on broadway . thank you rachel for giving me that hope 😇

      I know right! it's amazing how soft spoken she naturally is but when she's singing or acting she is very powerful

    Fun fact for anyone who didn't know: she and Samantha Barks (Eponine in the Les Miserables film and 02 concert) both started out on a reality competition to cast a Nancy in Oliver on the West End. Sam came in third place while Rachel came in fourth. You can see the entire tv series on youtube if you search I'd Do Anything BBC.

      And so did Jessie Buckley who came in second. She's a real top notch film actress whose become much more recognized recently by the British film industry and Hollywood.

    The first Broadway show I ever saw was Wicked when I was in middle school and I got to see her as Elphaba and her performance really made me fall in love with musical theater. She is incredible and I am so grateful I got the opportunity to see her. 🥺

    When I was younger I would paint my self green and would watch this while I was doing my makeup and pretend I was in one of these interviews. I would also put on an accent to act like I was Rachel.

    The one question that I must ask is...how do you keep your face from breaking out under all that glop--and what do you do if you've got an enormous zit right in the middle of your face? Do you just cover it over (and make it worse) or...what?

      Tyler Maxwell Oh Nice! You will have a blast. I've seen the show so many times in Sydney but I still fondly remember the first time I saw it in 2009. I'm sure you've seen footage online of Defying Gravity and the audience going nuts at the end......be prepared to cheer and clap your hands off.

      +Anna Raymond The make up people on broadway always keep the actor's health as a top priority. They typically put on soothing lotion and primer so it doesn't clog her pores, and are very gentle upon removing it and touching it up. Plus is not actually paint, its cream based make up, which is much less harsh.
