GODDAMN the West End orchestra is no joke. I fully expect the movie’s sound to have the exact same depth, clarity, and power as this one- I mean, listen to those unwavering trumpets and double bass. This is how Defying Gravity should sound every time at every production in the world! UPDATE: two movies!
The Broadway company doesn’t have the same voicing in final note. There is very little lower voicing (in the orchestra) on Broadway whereas here we get all the juicy bottom notes. It’s fire.
Watched her yesterday at the Victoria Apollo. I was in tears every time that lady sung. Waited 2 years to see it and was not disappointed at all. AMAZING
It’s 100% safe to say she is KILLING this role in the best way possible 😁💚🖤✨. Also these West End accents are so adorable to meee!! “Gravitteeee”☺️. I’d even venture to say West End does the best production of this show ever.
Yes yes yes. Her best yet. ‘HOW I’ is such a gorgeous little opt for her, she’s executing that perfectly. And can we mention how perfect her final broom air punch is. LUSH
Helen's acting during the last beats of DG is just phenomenal to me. Her Glinda is aware that she made her decision and has to side with the Ozians, but tries to reach out to her friend in the last millisecond before the blackout. A true "blink and you'll miss it" acting choice that adds so much to her characterization!
I went to see it yesterday, already a fan of Lucie as she is insanely talented. But this blew me away, I had to sit in my seat for the first 5 minutes of the interval until I could stop crying! A 35 year old man😂 absolutely spellbinding stuff, sensational and a must experience show🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I sobbed the entirety of her DG 🙃 I much prefer the song sung the way it’s written and not fancy riffs etc at the end (personal opinion) she is INCREDIBLE
I've read all the comments and I've seen lucie live 3 times now. I've also watched this clip back 4 or 5 times and I'm giving my honest opinion based on that. She is good and she clearly has her fans but she is still in my opinion inferior to others I've seen, I'm talking specifically Jessica Vosk, Rachel tucker, Alice Fearn & Laura pick. She is however only 2 months into the role so plenty of time to grow I just personally feel however she still falls short of the wow factor but still very good
I adore her in this role, shes an absolute star but that "Renown" hasnt sounded right from day one and I genuinely don't know if its her placement on that note or whatever but it sounds off.
@@AndrewMEwart-uz2yv this is exactly what I was about to say so I’ll just say it again in a slightly different way🤣 the note is 100% there, she just didn’t sing “eee” she sang “aaa” Lucie is amazing☺️.

Needs horns on the "tell them how I am defying gravity" though!
@@atolee704 that’s true. You can’t beat those French horns. One of the only aspects the Munchkinland tour does better than any other production.
British orchestral players are out there amongst the very best in the world. And to think salaries are so rubbish…
1000%
the london orchestra always sounds like it plays the last part before the blackout louder than any other company lol

Tbh this video is closer to the orchestra so I wouldn’t know.
That’s because they do hahaha
The variation at 1:05 on “tell them how I” is spectacular!! I can’t stop listening to it
Not really a variation. Many singers have done that, starting with Eden Espinosa

That "tell them how I" is so fantastic.
It’s ✨crisp✨
I loved Helen’s little reach out at the very end. 👍🏻
Can we talk about Helen’s acting in the last note? And that last note from Lucie? WOW!
💚💚💚
she’s immaculate
THIS
@@Jakeybakey5 she is! 💚
I've done nothing but think about this for the past 12 hours...what a woman.
(Also that 'tell them how I' is so effortless it's disgusting 🤣)

The London Orchestra is so, so wonderful. Brilliant performance.
That Tucker-esque growl on “it’s me”
i saw her on sunday, was absolutely phenomenal. i had chills the whole song
she's come so far in two months. amazing!!
Yes yes yes. Her best yet. ‘HOW I’ is such a gorgeous little opt for her, she’s executing that perfectly. And can we mention how perfect her final broom air punch is. LUSH
YESSSSS Lucie. She sounds brilliant, and so much more comfortable. That "howww I" is gorgeous and her "mee down" is so powerful.
Lucie sounds AMAZING!! 💚

THE SOUND CUE IS JUST THE BEST, how the Orchestra unfolds ♥ love this video! thaaank you
AMAZING! 💚
The lights… the vocals… the energy are so mind blowing! 💚
Thank you so much for sharing this! 💚

that How I fits her so much
She's amazing!!! Saw Wicked in February 2022 - This performance made me cry 🤣
Same! I saw on March 5th (Evening,) with my parents, and I was bawling my eyes out! 🤣
the ‘’TELL THEM HOW I’’ i can’t i’m going to cry she is just the best there ever was
her BEST yet omg
THIS IS INSANE
She gives me chills. The same chills she gave me yesterday..
I love how some of her choices are so simple but so powerful ... her straight-toned scooped notes on "flying FREEE" and the first "DOWN" are SO good.
I went to see it on Wednesday omg the whole cast was amazing but damn Lucie is fabulous
Actual CHILLS
I sobbed the entirety of her DG 🙃 I much prefer the song sung the way it’s written and not fancy riffs etc at the end (personal opinion) she is INCREDIBLE
Amazing, they even came back in on the “down” part exactly.
YYYEEEEESSSSSS!!!! Goosebumps!!!
She is incredible. 💚
This is AMAZING loves this video🤗🤗🤗💚💚💚xxx
I went to watch this im obsessed now
Incredible!
Love the O. I
H. W. I
Thank you! 💚
So good
Glinda is looking in awe at her gf ._.
The orchestra in London destroys the Broadway company. I’d love to understand why there is a difference.
YOOO WE HAD THE SAME SEATS

I totally agree with you
ok
@@rosalindprescott me too! what performance did you see?
Agreed!! I really don’t think Laura Pick gets enough credit, she was phenomenal 💚
I'm honestly a bit confused. This video is probably in the top 3 defying gravity performances on CZcams
Honestly the ticket price is worth it just for this
The ensemble/ozians definitely saw the camera- T-T
No becos if I was there I would of been DECEASED
1:05
Move Glinda!
The orchestra slam at 1:55 😍😍
innit that was one good bang
THE LOW BRASS OMG?????
😍😍
Can you post for good and melting
I adore her in this role, shes an absolute star but that "Renown" hasnt sounded right from day one and I genuinely don't know if its her placement on that note or whatever but it sounds off.
I find her voice to lack depth and tonality to give a dark tone to the role... or maybe I have Rachel Tucker too inprinted on my mind as reference.
I can't help but think she doesn't stand up to Laura pick 😭 but each to there own.
Great! Hate her "It's me", super pitchy on some of her notes. Great ending. The London Orchestra though, they are true stars of this song!
It’s not pitchy at all lol she just used a different vowel…
