Aside from the fact that I am utterly in love with Wicked (which is why I’m releasing it near it’s 11th anniversary), this video is a 100,00 subscriber “thank you” video. This is the only way I know how to express my gratitude. I really appreciate the love and support. I’ve been working on this video for what seems like forever, and I hope that you guys enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it. Many thanks to the people that assisted me in the making of this video, especially Anthony Rodriguez. I’ll be posting a behind the scenes video soon and some makeup tutorials of your favorite characters, so make sure to check back in the next couple weeks.
Please if you liked the video, share it with someone you think might enjoy it too!
xoxo,

AHHH Louise! 😘
BRAVO!!! A TOUR DE FORCE! ONE FOR THE AGES!!
Thank you so much, Buck!!
heathertraska j'ai me
heathertraska Now didja make the costumes ta look EXACTLY like the musical or close?
You probly have the biggest range out of the popular singing on CZcams your so incredible. I wish someone would do a vocal range video of you because I have been wondering for years
That would be cool to see if someone made that!
Alex Falgout check out Nick Pitera. He has a HUGE range.
Dead Yeti Productions That's what I was just about to say! Nick Pitera is AMAZING!
Alex Falgout mitch grassi
Alex Falgout Whole Peter Hollens doesn't have the range, his music is pretty good too.
DO THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
Yes you really should
yea you should do the phantom of the opera
OMG PLEEEEEEAAASSSSEEEEEE THAT WOULD BE AMAZING!!
oh gosh please yes!!!!!
YES YES YES
It's the coolest thing when a performer can sing both G(a)linda's and Elphaba' s parts flawlessly. Seriously, this video deserves a Tony.
WHY AREN'T YOU ON BROADWAY?!?! You're so fantastic
Broadway/west end mainly depends on acting. For example: there are two people who audition, one is good at acting and good at singing, and the other is not great at acting but amazing at singing, the first person will be chosen for the part.
With her voice type it's best that she stay with CZcams or sign with a label sometime. Not saying she's bad, she's wonderful but Broadway requires not only singing talent but acting as well, and there's a different way you should sing in a musical than casually singing a song.
+Katie Tucker I know what you mean. However, I think she would do well giving it a shot because it takes more than just singing a song, you have to give the song life and act like your character to portray the message best. She does that very well. Especially since this is her passion she probably is quite good at acting.
no
I'm confused about you guys saying she can't act. How do you know that she can't act? Have you seen her in a play? I haven't so I'm not trying to be rude, but if you have seen her act, that's cool, but you shouldn't assume things.
Hamilton or Phantom of the Opera would be awesome!
I got chills during "Defying Gravity"
i love how creative you are ... beautiful job my friend !
Thanks, Scott. You're the best!
I love your voice! Can you do a meldey of Les Miserables?
Hey Heather Traska,
You are really good at opera. And how do you know all the lines? Did you watch the musical? Or do you just know the words?
Sincerely,
HollyHills23
P.S. Please Reply!!! 😀
This is beyond everything.....I mean. The singing, the costumes, the everything?!
LET ME LOVE YOU D: ! ♥
my 2years old son always falls asleep with this... incredible!!! music plays, he stops crying and closes his eyes... it means relax to me!!! thanks a lot!!!!!
That is so adorable!! You're welcome. ❤️
OH OH! DO HAMILTON! DO HAMILTON!
YES
YES I'LL SELL MY SISTER LMAO
YES PLEASE I NEED TO HAVE HER DO BURN PLEASE
THIS SO MUCH I really hope she reads this ahaha can't wait listen to her doing the harmonies in Wait for It
OMF YESSSS
No words can describe this. It's so amazing. I've got a suggestion for your next a Capella a Team Starkid melody. It would be so totally awesome xxx
Totally agree!!!
Yassss
Yes yes yes so much yes!!!!
yeah! please!!!
Thanks ***** x
YOUR AAHHH NOTE IN DEFYING GRAVITY GIVES ME LIFE
Have you ever heard of Heathers The Musical?
If you haven't, it's got kickass and risqué female songs with lots of riffing and belting.
Aside from the name, the songs would perfectly fit your range!
If you made a Heathers Medley, it'd no doubt be beautiful (pun absolutely intended)
Krista Masucci yes Heathers
Considering you did this all by yourself (all of the costumes, make-up, vocals, editing, etc.), it is certainly one of the best Wicked medleys on CZcams. The acting is also very impressive, even though the songs are the focus.
Can you do Phantom of the Opera next? PLEASE?!?!
Omg if she did Phantom, that would be such an incredible video!!
I know right!!
Oh. My. God. I am speechless. That video would be epic. I would watch it everyday for the rest of my life. I... I... I don't even know what I'd do if she made a medley of the phantom of the opera. I don't think I would be able to take it.
DO PHANTOM
I'd totally LOVE it if she did one about Phantom of the Opera!!!!!
My roommate
Glinda: *i don't understand anything xD*
Elphaba: Blonde
unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
i swear every time i hear you sing "happy is what happens when all your dreams come true...well isn't it?" with those gorgeous harmonies in the background i get teary eyed. i have no idea why.
What if Heather and Nick Pitera worked together on a medley???!!!
broadwayjuliet This needs to happen
Yassssssss
Or peter hollens
broadwayjuliet OMFG YASH pleeassseee
I'd spontaneously combust in excitment and joy tbh
Please do a Medley of a nightmare before christmas
Omg that would be so awesome. Her makeup options!!!! And songs!! Omg yes!!!!
I totally agree
Yes omfg please
That would be amazing!
+Alexandra Robichaud yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
This is the second time I've watched this and it's still breathtakingly amazing. I appreciate the attention and time you put in with "I Couldn't Be Happier" because it's in my opinion the most underrated song in the musical and one of my favorites because it has so many layers that you conveyed so beautifully here. Also I love how your voice has improved over the years since your first Disney Medley (the video that introduced me to your channel). I think 'improved' isn't quite the right word as you've always had beautiful and powerful voice, but it's matured so nicely and WHY ARE YOU NOT ON BROADWAY??? WHY DO YOU NOT HAVE A RECORD DEAL??? WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A MILLION SUBS? The hard work, effort, talent and creativity you put into your videos, especially your medley's like this one puts 98% of youtubers to shame.
Couldn't be Happier is my one of my favourite songs. I agree with you way too underrated.
I SO AGREE WITH YOU!! She is wayyyyy too underrated.
I will personally go, slap the fuck out of the producers of Wicked for not hiring Heather, then force them to hire Heather.
It's actually called thank goodness but I totally agree!
Watching this again for the umpteenth time and it still just as breathtaking as it was when I first watched it. You're hands down my ideal casting choice for Elphie in the new "Wicked" movie. Are you on Broadway yet? You should be. And it's a shame that you don't have millions of subs, because you definitely deserve it for not only your amazing talent but also the work you put into this channel.
Your defying gravity part gave me chills
I know right. I got goose bumps.
This is fantastic Heather. So proud of you
Congratulations on finishing this project Heather. You can really see how much effort you put into it. My favorite part was "Couldn't Be Happier" - really well done. I felt the emotions as if they were my own in that sequence.
Kindness is the best accessory,
Rebecca
Did this make anyone else cry? It started with "Couldn't Be Happier" and just continued. Especially when "For Good" came on. Bravo!
The note at the end of "Defying Gravity" gave me chills... Please keep making more medleys because I absolutely love everything about your videos!
when she fliped her her hair in no good deed i was like "ohh shit (in a good way)"
The hair flip was unintentional but I decided to keep it lololol
OH MY GOD
OH MY GOD
OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
OH MY OZZZZZZ
This got me into Wicked
Zoe Marris ikr its amazing songs are amazing and the story is amazing
Please do the full version of what is this feeling!!!!
Please oh please be Elphaba on Broadway, you would be spectacular!
I think she made a better glinda
Why not go for both?
*****
I agree Glenda seems like a more natural range
Yes indeed I see her as glinda
But yet she looks good in green.....hmmmm
Wicked!!!!
Oh. My. Heather did an amazing job!!! Love her voice!!! Love the harmonies. I love it all!!!
Pleaseeee do a legally blonde medley!!! x
I've just realised how much I'd love to see you do a Dr Horrible cover, maybe a My Eyes duet...
Also, happy birthday!
Pretty please? Dr. Horrible seems a silly idea at first, but truly is powerful with some awesome tunes.
Could you do Hamilton, Les Mis, and the Heathers??
Lexi Lou yesssssss 😍😍
Les mis yessss
WHY HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS VIDEO BEFORE!!! This was INCREDIBLE! I can't believe you equally good as both Glinda and Elphaba 😍 Defying gravity is the best cover I've ever heard, and even like it better than some of the actresses who have played Elphaba. And your such a good actor! I got chills during For Good, and the ending bit was amazing!
Zoe Marris I said I liked it better than some of the actresses who have played her, not everyone 😊 Still like Idina Menzel better 😉
Maria E. Remberg i also like İdina menzel better but she is amazing
These videos need more recognition, especially for all the work and effort put into them.
Any chance you could do a Legally Blonde the Musical medley? I can only imagine you would blow us out of the water!
I love your voice, your style and most of all, your ACTING :) That is something missing in many youtube videos. You are a blast to watch!
PLEASE DO HAIRSPRAY P.S i love your voice
Freya Francis that would be amazing 😉
That "DONT....they were popular" part was hilarious. Amazing
Brava! Wicked it my favorite Broadway musical and you absolutely NAILED it!
Ally Del Rey same
The effort that must go into these is amazing! The costumes, makeup, transposing, singing, and editing would be wayyyy too much for me! Keep up the amazing work!
I've listened to this more than a dozen times, and I've never truly just watched it...the acting in general is wonderful. She can sing, act, and put together amazing makeup designs!
I"M FREAKING OUT OVER THIS!! Well done Heather!!!
Yes!
This may sound weird, but green makeup suits you so well
Heh, this is the first time I've seen facial expressions for any of these songs. I've only ever heard vocals, so the emotion came in extremely strong. Very powerful. I didn't need my heart anyway.
OH MY OZ
heheh i see what you did there ;)
The detail on these costumes is insane, they're so faithful to the ones used in the show it's incredible 😍
This was absolutely brilliant!! I'd love to see you do my favourite musical 'Rent'! ❤
I always love these videos because you put your effort into not only your singing, but your acting, editing, and costumes as well. Great job and can't wait to see more.
Please do a Hamilton Medley!
OMG, YES, PLEASE
Her voice is so amazing, it brought tears to my eyes
OK so this is BY FAR my absolute favorite WICKED medley EVER since I first saw it several years ago. Your singing, makeup (THE EYE MAKEUP ON THAT ONE CHORAL CHARACTER? AMAZING!), costuming, ACTING!!!! "Thank Goodness" just after the intermission is my absolute favorite part to sing along to because it's just so full of complicated emotions and I love it and you capture it so well! And I can't possibly forget the video editing and how freaking spectacularly it just melds with the heart of the songs, etc. Heather, you're a real treasure and I hope you know that.
This is legit quality work! Why doesn't this have more views?!
This is gorgeous! Definitely worth the wait :)
WOW! You are one gorgeous Elphie! This is hands down my favorite musical and I'm very critical about the performers who sing it. Only the truly greatest of Broadway singers have given me chills, and honey not only did you give me chills I was crying just as hard at the end of this as I do at the end of the show! Bravo!
The performance of Thank Goodness was so emotional, you really got to the root of the song I absolutely adored it
My god your singing through "No good deed" Gave me chills.. Keep it up!
The amount of work that goes into these videos is astounding, you have such a beautiful voice also xx
Defying Gravity gave me goosebumps, so beautiful!!!!!!!
The fading in and out of the black and white during Thank Goodness is... amazing. So great! I love coming back to this and your other One Woman A Cappella videos now and then, you've come so far!
Chills from beginning to end. With tears. This was phenomenal. I've been looking forward to this since you first announced it, and since this is my favorite musical of all time I was extremely excited and you did not disappoint. No, you totally exceeded my already high expectations. You NAILED it girl! That was AMAZING!!
OH MY GOSH!!! You are an amazing singer!! You should audition for Broadway!
I pay to see Wicked with her in a leading role
OMG!!! so super glad you're back in making medleys Heather! can't wait for more to come!! That was SUPERB!!! excellent job Heather!! made me cry!
I absolutely love this video!! ❤️ The costumes are so cool and the fact that it is a cappella makes it infinitely awesome.
you've got to be kidding me. that was incredible
You are the best singer on all of CZcams! No joke. Your medley was beautifully created and funny and I can't even imagine how hard it was to get all the costumes and makeup and choreograph every "heather" to harmonize PERFECTLY.
BRAVO! Sooo worth the wait, this must've taken you forever, it is TOP NOTCH in every way! Love love LOVE it Heather :)
You are amazing! All the effort and dedication you put into these medley videos really pay off :D
Wow that is one of the best deifying gravity covers I've ever seen!! Wow ur range is truly amazing!!
The music backing is so amazing! This video is insane!
The sheer amount of care, passion, and effort put into this video is breathtaking. I am at a loss for words. Simply Beautiful.
I've been waiting for this!! I LOVE IT! well done on the music, the make up and the background! beautiful work as always!
WOW!! Your range is absolutely amazing!!!
You can go up all the way to a whistle tones and back down to alto. You need to try out for a part on Broadway because you would DEFINITELY would make it. ❤️❤️
her costume of fiero looks cute as heck
No good deed, popular, and Thank Goodness were spot on! 😍😍😍
WHY DID IT TAKE ME SO LONG TO FIND THIS! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
This is a really nerdy thing to say whoops.
I really really really love that during What Is This Feeling you dressed up as both Boq and Nessa and throughout the whole thing you got several different ensemble characters.
And then you got Dorothy and her little trio of merry men.
/And damn son, your Fiyero -- what little we saw of him -- was awesome./
Idk but that just made me really happy. :33
Sounded beautiful and I had many an emotion.~
Heather, this is one of the most well done videos I've ever seen. I can tell so much work and time and talent went into this, but can assure you that I didn't take my eyes off the video the entire time, and everything that you put into it paid off. GREAT JOB!
I don't know what I'm more impressed with..the talented singing or the dedication to all those costumes and makeup designs!
Holy crap... I actually cried listening to for good... You are absolutely amazing, I 100% look up to you for these videos
You should do Rocky Horror
Ally R YESYESYESYESYES
Ally R YESYRSYESYESYES PLEASE
Omg yesssss
You nearly made me cry on "We couldn't be happier"!
"Defying Gravity" was so powerful !! As well as "No good deed"!
And you're so beautiful !!! And your editing is wondeful ! And you're a model for me!
I actually cried, this is so amazing Heather, you've come a long way. Looking forward to more medley's and amazing works of art and music like this !!
I can't get over how amazing this is! I'm pretty sure I've watched this nearly a 100 times since it came out. I love your voice its amazing!
your voice never ceases to amaze me 😩 so blessed to have such a beautiful voice 💕 and to top it all of you covered my all time favourite musical so this makes this video my absolute dream 😻
This is the best thing ever

heathertraska can you do another costume tutorial
heathertraska you are a dream, i look forward to your video every year. I admire how many hours and work you put into this. Well done.
Can you all make a special video for the animals (tigers, leopards and lions) they being killed by poachers. I've literally cried by seeing the poor things being poached.
I wish there was something i could do, and its haunting to me.
HEATHER. WHAT EVEN ARE YOU.
Bravo.
It's Hayden! :D
That was absolutely incredible. Amazing job as usual!
Absolutely beautiful!! Been a fan for a while and every video i watch gives me goose bumps!!!!
