Bahar LMAOOO fr tho they were WAY too fast i get they have a limited amount of time because everything has to go on a tight schedule bc it’s live but that was just ridiculous
"Something has changed within me. Something is not the same. I'm through with playing by . . . .therulesofsomeoneelse'sgametoolateforsecondchamcestolatetogobacktosleep . . . . . " like god damn that orchestra went fast asf.
Yup... It's the Tony's. That's what they do. They only have about 4 minutes to perform. All Tony performances are super fast or the song is cut way down.
The producers says she too old??? SHE'S CAKED IN GREEN MAKEUP THE WHOLE TIME!!!!! DAMN. Her voice also is perfect for it... i mean she was Elsa and Elsa sounded young.
I honestly can't bring myself to like ANY Wicked performance that doesn't include her. Wicked with Idina was the first musical I ever saw and I just fell in love with her.. And the chemistry between her and Kristin..? Impossible to replicate!
YES I would well rather it be animated! it would be perfect because of the magic you can create with animation. Also then Idina would be in it and the whole original cast! Also the production company would benefit because it doesn't cost as much to make an animation movie as it does to make a real one. No one will get angry over casting or not casting Idina!!
The way she quickly adapts to the terrible orchestra is pure talent. The notes that she hits are already hard enough but now she has no oxygen to project and is off a few notes but SOMEHOW she brings it together and executes a flawless performance. PURE talent
Ya but idina also has awful singing technique which is why she’s off now she can’t even hit some of these notes bc she destroys her voice two it’s up to the actor to fix the tempo of live accompaniment they follow her if she wants slower she slows down
Your right because the song takes about 8 minutes to go through, so they had to cram about a lot of things or take out stuff to get it in 5 minutes or less, plus Joel Gray's introduction to them is a little bit longer then you see in this video.
@@mccartney1715 that might have been part of it, but she had an asthma attack right before this performance and she's an amazing fucking trooper and still went on
She was having to gasp for air but did somehow manage not to pass out which is pretty remarkable. Taking this 5 to 10 beats slower would not have put too much of dent in the time that was allotted.
@@Ethan-dn1wc +She was probably tired af having to perform songs this hard for weeks, and it was said that she also had an asthma attack right before this performance. It was definitely not easy to perform this song in that tempo even with normal conditions.
most likely a time limit imposed over them, which probably just ended in an edited version over a sped up one, but oh well. if not, it still wouldnt be a bad orchestra, moreso a bad conductor.
You clearly don't know a thing of what you are talking about if you call the orchestra horrid because of the speed. That wasn't their decision to make.
Now that I think about it, I don't blame all the 9,11,30 year olds who sing "Let It Go" non stop, whether it be in the shower, videos or just breaking out in song. When I was 13, I saw this very same Tony Awards show and by the end of the performance I was stunned. I listened to "Defying Gravity" over and over again, I even sang it countless of times. I then dreamed to pursue theatre but had gone to the architecture field instead. Luckily for me, 10 years after seeing this, I finally had the chance to watch Wicked when I was in Singapore, and seeing this performed live sent shivers down my spine. Now that i'm 25, I have the instrumental for this very same song still playing in my earphones while I'm at work, and when no one is home, I still sing it with my all. I still dream the impossible dream of being covered in MAC PRO Chromacake Landscape Green, performing this on stage hahaha Idina Menzel is very influential, I love this woman. Kristin Chenoweth did an amazing job as Galinda as well :) hats off to them both even after all these years!
+Christine R I've been listening to this song everyday, all the time for the last two years. I haven't had the chance to watch it live, but I was Elphaba on our own version of the place at high school! It was the best moment of my life.
It's 2018 and I've seen lots of Elphabas and yet Idina is still the best Elphaba not because of her technique, since let's be honest, hers is not the most perfect, but because she gave Elphaba the humanity she needed to be relatable to everyone who's gonna watch her the best. Idina's imperfections that time are what made her the perfect one to play Elphaba.
Reminds me a bit of Jeremy Jordan in Newsies...you can put someone into that role with a purer voice, but, by the time they hit "Santa Fe", if you're not bought in, who cares how pretty it sounds. Whereas Jeremy f'ing nails that song every time.
18 years later and I still haven’t forgiven whoever made that orchestra so damn fast. They robbed us of a perfectly recorded version of this masterful piece of musical theatre😭😭
a_m_w 2007 If you are talking about the last ahhhh, her first arm movement is for the ensemble. Usually there is a second arm cue for the orchestra, but in this there wasn’t, so they went ahead. Also the first ahhh, is cued by thrusting her broom downwards. It is all dependent on how the Elphaba wants to perform the song. Similar cues are used for The Wizard and I. Also, holding a C#5 in a chest voice is very difficult. Also, they had to fit a nearly 10 minute performance in a 5 minute time slot.
@@cameronfoster5838 👏👏👏👏👏 YES!! Broadway orchestras all cue in real time on the actors. They are like Ferraris, amazing performance capability but depend on the driver to use them.
Even though she's struggling cuz of the orchestra, she's still a damn beast. I respect this woman so much. Such a talent and powerhouse. Her and Kristen!
I wouldn't use those words to describe Idina Menzel, though I imagine you mean she is an amazingly talented and engaging singer/performer (I saw her as Josh Groban's opening act - and though I appreciated and respected her already, I virtually fell for her then! I would have been fine if she was the whole show, & hopefully will see her again)
Hugeeee props to Idina for being able to hit those notes at a faster tempo, she had like no time to take proper breaths and still managed to hit everything.
@@IskaLlavore They’re cramming a nearly 10 minutes scene into less than 5 minutes. They would go way over their designated time slot if they played the same speed as the actual show.
you have to do really intense facial expressions in order to get the "normal" one across to the audience (especially in the back rows), so having the cameras filming near her face really amplifies them so they look "odd".
For Idina to soar and perform despite the hyper speed of that orchestra is beyond me. They made her sprint the entire song, barely leaving her enough oxygen for the beautiful finale of the song. She is a pro.
@@twobirds5921 they rushed the hell out of a song that was already cut down for the allotted time. I'm a musician, and rushing when you don't need to isn't impressive, in fact when you do it in instances like these where you're acting as a backing track for someone else, it makes you kind of an ass which is what the conductor was in this instance unless he was trying to slow them down, which I doubt.
This woman is amazing. You can tell she’s trying so hard to keep up with the orchestra (plus she’d had an asthma attack shortly before this performance) but she still did beyond perfect.
Adrienne Smith them that means you like to cause problems and ruin people’s lives and don’t have anything else to do with your life. So get yourself something to do as I YEET you out of this comment section. Have a nice day.
Her voice is so amazing and the slight cracks she picks up amazingly. The orchestra went so fast but she performed perfectly. Her gasping sounded like it was supposed to be part of the song. All of this and the fact that she performed in front of so many famous people, and hardly showed signs of nervousness. Idina is perfect.
I can only say that I want the original cast to be back in when they make the movie. I know there's concerns for aging and how their voice changed but I want a second chance to see that chemistry!
TittySprinkles Welp, fortunately this world is full of talented people who can work things out with more than makeup and CGI skill sets. Yet, not enough people willing to pay that tech.
I love this. No Idina does not have Asthma. I don't know if the cold is true or not. I read someone on here say something about Lea Michelle being Elphaba in the movie... I love Lea, but her voice is too sweet and high-pitched to play Elphaba. I'm all for the original cast! Make the movie magic happen so Idina and Kristin can come back and play their parts!
gruffalo25 Seen it 3 times with different actresses and they all brought their own personalities to the roles. August 2004: Eden Espinosa (Standby for Idina Menzel) and Jennifer Laura Thompson April 2011: Teal Wicks and Katie Rose Clarke March 2013: Donna Vivino (Standby for Willejmijn Verkaik) and Alli Mauzey And my dream is to be part of the cast... hoping to play Boq on Broadway and/or on Tour!!
Unpopular opinion: I think Idina did amazing. We're too quick to judge her but she was acting the song here, something not a lot of bway actors are good at
Ciara Stewart Thats just untrue, many Elphaba's have and still do it better than her technique wise, like Alice Fearn for example. Idina strains far too much, which is why her vocal range has declined throughout the years.
I give Idina so much respect. I suffer from asthma and I sing from time to time so I know what it’s like to have a problem with having breathing problems but she’s a trooper. I love that woman so much. She’s such a great person, so sweet. You go girl!
대사가 진짜 놀랍다... I'm not 에서 전 상황을 보지 못한 관객들을 바로 상황 속으로 빨아들이는 저 떨림과, 동시에 확신 반 의심 반의 애매모호한 자신감, 하지만 반드시 해야 한다는 어떤 숭고한 임무에 " 던져진" 엘파바의 심정을 누구보다 잘 표현함. 보컬은 솔직히 이 영상을 기준으로 했을때 다른 캐스트들이 훨씬 낫다는 생각을 지울 수 없지만, 엘파바를 연기하는 뮤지컬 배우가 아닌 엘파바 자체로 관객들을 극 안으로 끌어들이는 힘은 정말, 브로드웨이에서 자주 고음에서 불안한 모습을 보이지만 이디나 멘젤이 왜 여전히 박수받는지에 대해 동의하게 만듭니다.
HELLO. So for everyone hating on Idina, she had a fever, cold and she had an asthma attack minutes before she went on! She hit those high notes better then any of you guys could and she doesn’t usually go that far with the expressions ( I think she was trying to take attention off her voice) give her a break smh 🤦🏼♀️
No Tony performance will ever ever ever ever outdo this. I've listened to this song and seen a performance of it hundreds of times, and this STILL gave me goosebumps. Performed to perfection!!
Can we talk about the harmony at 2:29 ? 😍 Perfect✨ Also, for everyone who says that this perfomance is bad because of her breaking or whatever, this song is perfect. Because you're gonna remember it, and it's all that matter 😍 saw it years ago by being lost on youtube and it's this special perfomance which makes me love Wicked and musicals ! And Idina of course 😁 So just enjoy how amazing Idina and Kristin are together 💚
this perfeormance really made me wish i were older so i couldve support her those times and be there through her journey... i was 2 yrs old in this preformance
time flies so fast, 17 years ago this video was uploaded, the wicked musical debuted in 2002 and struggled to stand on its own, after years it reached its peak of success and this song launched a thousand dreams. now this show is having its own movie after 2 decades. it tears me that this show gives me nostalgia, the inner child within me is proud of them 💚💖
No matter how many times I hear this song or see this video, I can't help but want to cry when she rises up like she's flying. It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in a musical.
I saw them perform this in December of 2003. It took my breath away. My daughter was a sobbing heap in her seat. It was one of the BEST shows I have ever seen.
Kristen & Idina were the first Glinda & Elphaba I ever fell in love with. Other duos are great but those two will always have a special place in my heart with their performances 💙
one of my all time favourite songs and I am crying buckets every time I see this..., amazing how much truth a song can "ring" - aren't we all trying to defy gravity in one way or the other?!
I was 9 when I first when to see wicked and I remember being in awe if this song and how magical it was when she goes into air. 7 years later I am still in awe and in love with musical and now have decided to take a class in musical theatre xx
SOMEONE PLEASE put the stage musical out on dvd or blueray. With Idena and Kristin - no other actors will do!! I've seen this play so many times and I play the cd in my car often. IT'S BRILLIANT!!
Honestly i find the trembles in idina's voice and quickness so fitting in the situation. Especially towards the end genuinely thought it was intended at first watch
I saw her in this after being a huge fan since I was 12. I cried about six times during the show and I still cry every time I watch this performance. She’s the queen.

Bahar LMAOOO fr tho they were WAY too fast i get they have a limited amount of time because everything has to go on a tight schedule bc it’s live but that was just ridiculous

I think the fast orchestra makes it more upbeat and awesome
That’s called being dramatic, ITS THEATER
ThePotatoWarrior true but that’s how the Tonys usually perform the musicals, going fast and then they sound not so good
Right now Kristin's probably thinking "I can't believe Idina got to be a Disney princess before me!"
Kristin was originally going to be Rapunzel.
Kristin will probably be next tbh
But she didn't. She got to be a queen. Lol
We'll now she's playing Maleficent in the Disney movie Desendence(if u spelled that right)
I'm never gonna see it, so it doesn't matter.
I get chills when she says, "I'm the one you want, it's me, it's meeeeeeeeeee!!!" Idina's acting is amazing, along with her voice.
Me too! Instant shockwave of chills ...
Chills and teary-eyed 😩
Same here. I get goosebumps everytime!
I gasped for air. Literally. She was that good.
Same!!!

At 0:38 just to help anyone who wants to hear said transition
Hahahaha I can't...
I can't stop laughing omg
Idina WANTS to be in Wicked movie. She said she'll "die for the role but the producers say she's too old or it.
The producers says she too old??? SHE'S CAKED IN GREEN MAKEUP THE WHOLE TIME!!!!! DAMN. Her voice also is perfect for it... i mean she was Elsa and Elsa sounded young.
不然可以製作成動畫 再請原本的卡司配音
I honestly can't bring myself to like ANY Wicked performance that doesn't include her. Wicked with Idina was the first musical I ever saw and I just fell in love with her.. And the chemistry between her and Kristin..? Impossible to replicate!
There's an easy way to fix that. Animate the movie. If Idina can play an animated young woman once, she can do it again.
YES I would well rather it be animated! it would be perfect because of the magic you can create with animation. Also then Idina would be in it and the whole original cast! Also the production company would benefit because it doesn't cost as much to make an animation movie as it does to make a real one. No one will get angry over casting or not casting Idina!!
They were the perfect pair to play them.

I named my dog elphaba after reading the book
Delete this. Idina is a BROADWAY GOD! She ate this role!
The orchestra rushed the tempo. Poor Idina--they pushed her through that VERY difficult number WAY too quickly.
eespecially having an asthma attack before this well thats what i heard :/
Both recordings are 160 bpm. Time it yourself.
Performances at the Tony's have to be four minutes. A lot of times the songs are cut down or sped up. They did it on purpose
The orchestra was a track, laid down by the show's musical director. Don't blame the band.
The thing is that it was all in unison meaning the conductor intentionally put it at like 100000000 bpm. Poor conducting.
18 years later and I still haven’t forgiven whoever made that orchestra so damn fast. They robbed us of a perfectly recorded version of this masterful piece of musical theatre😭😭
Agree!!!
They only have a certain amount of time for their tony performance. So does every other show.

John Travolta flubbed her name when announcing her as an award recipient for her role as Elsa.
Producers: how fast could you go
Orchestra : *yes*
the thing i love so much about indinas performance is how genuinely terrified she seems
After hearing how fast that orchestra took the tempo, I would be terrified as well, it was horribly rushed.
This musical means the world to me.
Same
Still giving me goosebumps...
Unpopular opinion: I think Idina did amazing. We're too quick to judge her but she was acting the song here, something not a lot of bway actors are good at
I don't see why it is an unpopular opinion if all of us agree with it.
Ciara Stewart Thats just untrue, many Elphaba's have and still do it better than her technique wise, like Alice Fearn for example. Idina strains far too much, which is why her vocal range has declined throughout the years.
@@ASadPigeon like Jessica Vosk too
No one...except Vosk :)
Try Willemijn Verkaik
I give Idina so much respect. I suffer from asthma and I sing from time to time so I know what it’s like to have a problem with having breathing problems but she’s a trooper. I love that woman so much. She’s such a great person, so sweet. You go girl!
How fast do you want the song to go?
Orchestra: Yes
대사가 진짜 놀랍다... I'm not 에서 전 상황을 보지 못한 관객들을 바로 상황 속으로 빨아들이는 저 떨림과, 동시에 확신 반 의심 반의 애매모호한 자신감,
하지만 반드시 해야 한다는 어떤
숭고한 임무에 " 던져진" 엘파바의 심정을 누구보다 잘 표현함.
보컬은 솔직히 이 영상을 기준으로 했을때 다른 캐스트들이 훨씬 낫다는 생각을 지울 수 없지만, 엘파바를 연기하는 뮤지컬 배우가 아닌 엘파바 자체로
관객들을 극 안으로 끌어들이는
힘은 정말, 브로드웨이에서 자주 고음에서 불안한 모습을 보이지만 이디나 멘젤이 왜 여전히 박수받는지에 대해 동의하게 만듭니다.
HELLO. So for everyone hating on Idina, she had a fever, cold and she had an asthma attack minutes before she went on! She hit those high notes better then any of you guys could and she doesn’t usually go that far with the expressions ( I think she was trying to take attention off her voice) give her a break smh 🤦🏼♀️
Facts.
The Movie Critic THANK YOU 😂 I was a bit over the top with the comment tho lol
@@verityjude2269 No you hit all the right targets 😁 Couldn't have said it better myself
I think the gasping actually makes the drama even better for the scene! If you think about the situation of the story she should be breathless
Kathleen Soreth-Harman exactly thank you!
Idina’s face.. the depth.. the seriousness, the energy
I saw them both in the original cast production on Broadway. My heart still races watching it!
Two words for this performance...."F**king EPIC." -- Idina Menzel KILLED it. Absolutely flawless.
No Tony performance will ever ever ever ever outdo this. I've listened to this song and seen a performance of it hundreds of times, and this STILL gave me goosebumps. Performed to perfection!!
God their voices blend so well. Stunning, both of them!!
Can we talk about the harmony at 2:29 ? 😍 Perfect✨
Also, for everyone who says that this perfomance is bad because of her breaking or whatever, this song is perfect. Because you're gonna remember it, and it's all that matter 😍 saw it years ago by being lost on youtube and it's this special perfomance which makes me love Wicked and musicals ! And Idina of course 😁 So just enjoy how amazing Idina and Kristin are together 💚
Why was it so fast? I could have sworn the original was slower...
Since it was on tv it had to be sped up for timing
Yes it was much slower
Both recordings are 160 bpm.
this perfeormance really made me wish i were older so i couldve support her those times and be there through her journey... i was 2 yrs old in this preformance
time flies so fast, 17 years ago this video was uploaded, the wicked musical debuted in 2002 and struggled to stand on its own, after years it reached its peak of success and this song launched a thousand dreams. now this show is having its own movie after 2 decades. it tears me that this show gives me nostalgia, the inner child within me is proud of them 💚💖
No matter how many times I hear this song or see this video, I can't help but want to cry when she rises up like she's flying. It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in a musical.
I saw them perform this in December of 2003. It took my breath away. My daughter was a sobbing heap in her seat. It was one of the BEST shows I have ever seen.
I get teary eyed everytime I watch this, especially with Menzel. And my throat hurts just watching any singer belting this number. 😳🙌
That brings tears to my eyes! 😰 So inspiring, so moving, so brilliant! 👏🏻
huh is it just me or are they rushing?
Yes bc there's a time limit
@@crystalmike17 yeah there is a time limit but they took it from like 1 to 10 when they needed to take it to like a 5 or a 7.
Orchestra went: _speed run_
I think that's more the Orchestra's fault
Not rushing more like they are on crack .
This gave me goosebumps oml and Idina did AMAZING
“No wizard that there is or was is ever gunna bring me down” *gets thrown a bucket of water over her*
You must not have seen the full show. The bucket of water was her faking her death.
Chris van de Vrande haha I know that- it’s called a joke
I love this footage. So amazing, the power, the passion. Love love
This was the first video I ever saw of WICKED in 2007 before I heard the soundtrack and saw the show. And I still have goosepumps....love it
I shivered multiple times at the sheer force of their voices through out this... Love them both!
Idina is one of the few artists that you can call a force of nature.
Kristen & Idina were the first Glinda & Elphaba I ever fell in love with. Other duos are great but those two will always have a special place in my heart with their performances 💙
A decade and a half ago, yet no less powerful and wonderful. I love it!
They are both SOOOO TALENTED I can’t even comprehend it I love it so much
After so many years, I *still* get goosebumps listening to this song 💖
Almost 20 years later and every time I watch this I go back to the piano lab watching this in tears from such a powerful performance
Wicked is one of my favourite musicals and this pairing was brilliant. This song gives me chills every time I hear it
one of my all time favourite songs and I am crying buckets every time I see this..., amazing how much truth a song can "ring" - aren't we all trying to defy gravity in one way or the other?!
Funny thing, Idina Menzel was quite sick during this performance and STILL knocked it out of the park.
Everytime I'm watching this performance, it gives me goosebumps with some tears of joy...
3:14 I cry every. fuckin'. time.
Kristin looks so proud!!
I was 9 when I first when to see wicked and I remember being in awe if this song and how magical it was when she goes into air. 7 years later I am still in awe and in love with musical and now have decided to take a class in musical theatre xx
Kristen looking at Idina with just pure admiration and joy is so beautiful
SOMEONE PLEASE put the stage musical out on dvd or blueray. With Idena and Kristin - no other actors will do!!
I've seen this play so many times and I play the cd in my car often. IT'S BRILLIANT!!
I like the song very much and Idina's singing also.
Every time i listen to this song i get goosebumps. Especially toward the end. It’s insane
The best musical I have seen in person. Ever. By far. Loved it!!!
Ugh her voice is like butter! She's so good. ❤️💚💚💚💚
Honestly i find the trembles in idina's voice and quickness so fitting in the situation. Especially towards the end genuinely thought it was intended at first watch
watching this performance on the tonys mesmerized me. Gave me an undying love of the theater!
Minutes before she got it.
❤Love the Tony Awards. Love Wicked soundtrack. Greetings from coastal Mississippi and Twelve Oaks plantation
The emotion pouring from this woman is immaculate....holy crap. it's AMAZING
I'm literally crying tears of joy right now!!! Fly, fly!!!
Those two are stars! Both so so amazing at what they do
I saw her in this after being a huge fan since I was 12. I cried about six times during the show and I still cry every time I watch this performance. She’s the queen.
Those notes, with all of that smoke… crazy! ❤
