when i met derek after anastasia and talked to him about wicked and klendez (along with other things about anastasia of course) he said "we actually really liked each other so it made everything a lot better!" and i love how close they were. the chemistry is so perfect and they are my favorite elphie and fiyero duo. both of their voices were great then and are *great* now. i love these two so much aghhh!!!
He's mostly known now as Anastasia's Dmitry, but he's been on Broadway even before, when he was still so young and people his age were still being an understudy or ensemble. This just proves how talented Derek is.
Best Elphaba ever! I love her so much! The first time and only time i watched Wicked. It was Lindsay and Derek. I cried every time she sang I can see her passion. Especially on defying gravity I went into full on tears! I hate that I can’t find clips of her singing defying gravity anymore. But she and Idina Mendzel are my absolute favorite Elphaba’s!
My favorite Elphaba/Fiyero duo has been Jessica Vosk and Ryan Mccartan, but seeing this video, Derek and Lindsay are coming in real close in second place because their voice paired with their chemistry is amazing! Wish I had had the chance to see them together in the show as well. Fantastic.
This was amazing.. They are so awesome together and their chemistry is so natural and honest.. Loved seeing this, but nothing beats being in the audience seeing them perform Live on stage in full costumes, which I did!!! Yay!! I loved this so I'm just going to keep fangirling.. And hitting repeat, then watching the Wizard and I.. Lindsay Mendez is just magnificent!!! Love her!!!
God they both are amazing! Saw both of them in the show and this song was fantastic! Lindsay is amazing and her voice is perfect! Same with Derek! First he is so attractive, second he is amazing...I can't say anything else.
"shipping" is like when you basically want to people to be in a relationship. people who say they ship klendez mean they want derek klena and lindsay mendez to be together
i could be mistaken but i THINK this is the first time the ending dialogue for this song has been done at BIBP. usually most pairs just do something funny in place of it.
Were they supposed to kiss after this?! I know they were in the actual play, but where they supposed to then?! I need to know! They are perfect! 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Three reasons I want to be Lindsay Mendez:
1. Her voice
2. Playing Elphaba on Broadway
3. Kissing Derek Klena

There are no video bootlegs of Derek and Lindsay and that MAKES ME SO MAD
sAME
I feel like there has to been one hiding SOMEWHERE! lol
right?
There needs to be one sjsjsj
there's a short one on lewizardandme channel :)
it was quite some time ago... which kinda explains that Troy Bolton hair XD
Their voices were MADE to harmonize with each other it's just too perfect
He's mostly known now as Anastasia's Dmitry, but he's been on Broadway even before, when he was still so young and people his age were still being an understudy or ensemble. This just proves how talented Derek is.
Best Elphaba and Fiyero chemistry, hands down.
Agreed. I would only see Wicked again if Lindsay, Donna Vivino, or Willemijn Verkaik was Elphaba
His voice has really matured since Dogfight.
I wish the two of them would professionally record this. One of the best wicked pairings ever
No other Elphaba sings this song sexier than Lindsay. I'm melting! :)
Wtf
totally agreed
THE WAY LINDSAY SAYS WICKED NEAR THE END IS GREAT!!!! Their chemistry is the best I've seen
KLENDEZ FEELS OH MY LORD.
YAAAAAS
Ummmm YEAH!!!
I'm on a Klendez binge
it BLOWS my mind Derek is only around 22 here. . . THE TALENT
Have you heard or seen him as Christian in Moulin Rouge yet? He’s doing fantastic in that!
Oh I miss them working together so muuuuuch, Lindsay's vlogs were the best tbh
I just can't with this kiss, I love how awkward the first one is and how Lindsay is trying to keep it together. haha I just love them
The 5 people who disliked this video, I just want to know: who hurt you?
Lindsay WON the 2018 TONY!!!!!!
Knew she would....(smile)...Congrats chica from Kerry in Upstate....
When Derek says "Through different eyes..." I can't help thinking about "you shine".
ALL THE KLENDEZ FEELS
Best Elphaba ever! I love her so much! The first time and only time i watched Wicked. It was Lindsay and Derek. I cried every time she sang I can see her passion. Especially on defying gravity I went into full on tears!
I hate that I can’t find clips of her singing defying gravity anymore.
But she and Idina Mendzel are my absolute favorite Elphaba’s!
2:37-2:40 Chills. Every time. That harmony is so hauntingly beautiful.
I saw Derek in Wicked this summer! Lindsay didn't perform the day I went, but Derek was FANTASTIC :D
These two are the PERFECT Elphie and Fiyero!!!! KLENDEZ FOREVER! :D

Holy shit, I saw them on Broadway, this is giving me flashbacks wtf
Derek is the second best Fiyero after Norbert. I love his voice...
Bettina P Agree with you completely!

DEREK UGH HE'S SO BEAUTIFUL. I got to talk to him at a talk back during dogfight and it was like the best moment ever
Klendez ♡
oh. my. gosh. I am sCREECHING!
SO MUCH CEMISTRY IT LOOKS REAL
Anyone else dying to know what Derek told Lindsay at the end to make her laugh? Just me..k.
PLEASE!
"shipping" is like when you basically want to people to be in a relationship. people who say they ship klendez mean they want derek klena and lindsay mendez to be together
You can also ship people platonically! As in "They're such best friends!" which is more realistic. I prefer their platonic relationship
oh yes
i could be mistaken but i THINK this is the first time the ending dialogue for this song has been done at BIBP. usually most pairs just do something funny in place of it.
*dying whale noise* KLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNDDDDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZ......
Well if it isn't DJ Fingablast
Sophovot long live Kimmy Schmidt ❤️
they kissed, then I died
I have the sam shirt as Lindsey is wearing (lol totally random comment)
It’s wild to think that he and his wife are expecting their first child together.
Klena is Derrick . He plays fyiero and Mendez is Lindsay ( ELPHABA) so klendez is their ship name
When you find out that your sister worked with Derek Klena
seriously? how?
It’s been 6 years, and I’d like to know!
I ship KLENDEZ!
Wish I recorded an audio bootleg when I saw them in Wicked. smh @ 2013 me
IF ANYONE KNOWS WHERE A RECORDING IS OF THEM IN WICKED TOGETHER PLEASE SHARE IT! MY YEAR WOULD BE MADE!
I USED TO BUT I DON'T HAVE THE LINK ANYMORE I BEG FORGIVENESS
:-(
Hannah Smith I have the link
Elena Mitina do you still have it? & does the link still work? If so you have the power to save MANKIND!! Or at least save me lol
WHO DISLIKED !!!
and now Derek has left Wicked :-(
KLENDEZ
Were they supposed to kiss after this?! I know they were in the actual play, but where they supposed to then?! I need to know! They are perfect! 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
yes they were =)
Yes, and during it too.
She's like 10 years older than him though e_e
Lol
What does that mean.. "I ship Klendez" I know what Klendez is..
I just fangirled so hard...it's not even funny!!
Taiwan? Is WICKED going to Taiwan?
Uh no...
Richard Lin I wish though I live in Taichung and is completely obsessed with Broadway😂
I wish they did the choreography as well with the song. Awkward but cute. I'm pretty disappointed
Time For Reaction Time I think it was mentioned in Lindsay's Fly Girl vlogs that they had to keep things PG13 cos of the kids lol
