Whenever I listen to this I wonder if the people in that room knew that this was going to become one of the most iconic musical theatre songs of all time

[@veraelphie0306]

I love the "meee doooooown!" here... Idina really took the riffless option and said "this is how it's done." only to rarely do it during her run

[@Gobble-zc3kc]

Wow ! I really like this version especially with the extra lines such as the “lizard” line

[@nickithethickii]

And one of the most iconic and phenomenal musical in the world 💚💖

For some reason, I adore this version! I get that riffs are cool and I must admit, they often give me goosebumps, but as a theater song, Defying Gravity is much more epic without the riffs. Idina's voice is so clear here, never flat, never shaky. However, the quality of the recording device makes the sound funny when they belt, but that's just the sound quality. I much prefered this version's ending as it was more powerful, honest and fragile, escpecially the little crack at the end, which idina shouldn't get hate for. Anyone with anything hurtful to say just don't properly understand the art of theater and only care about the riffs and runs, which is compleley unfair. So if that's what you want, search some place else, because Idina Menzel is one of the best performers Broadway has ever seen. I do understand that Idina lacks technique, which can have a long-term affect, but she has talent, unlike most of the haters.

I really love the extended “I hope you’re happy” part in this version, it just adds a little extra to make the song more impactful when Elphaba does defy gravity 💚

[@vickymitchell5707]

Omg I love this version of the song!!!!!

[@hierosgamosvibration2951]

Why do I only cry when she sings this song?! 😢🤦🏾‍♂️

[@Bubblelove236]

I don’t blame you with the acting it makes you feel more emotional for elphaba

[@rafael2212]

this is so precious

[@Bubblelove236]

Idina sounds more intense here

[@samuelking9343]

I picture the Movie version similar to this.

[@benclouse8399]
