my absolute favorite performance of this song

The best Elphie there has been in the West end!

The best. The end.

He sounds so different here ❤

Get

Fe the set ready before the actors come on stage you dickheads 😂🌈

And she was told she wasn’t that great on I’d Do Anything BBC 🌈

Did that really just happen? Have I actually understood? This weird quirk I've tried to suppress or hide Is a talent that could help me meet the Wizard If I make good So I'll make good When I meet the Wizard Once I prove my worth And then I meet the Wizard What I've waited for since, since birth And with all his Wizard wisdom By my looks, he won't be blinded Do you think the Wizard is dumb? Or like Munchkins so small-minded? No, he'll say to me I see who you truly are A girl on whom I can rely And that's how we'll begin The Wizard and I Once I'm with the Wizard My whole life will change 'Cause once you're with the Wizard No one thinks you're strange No father is not proud of you No sister acts ashamed And all of Oz has to love you When by the Wizard, you're acclaimed And this gift or this curse I have inside Maybe at last, I'll know why When we are hand in hand The Wizard and I And one day, he'll say to me "Elphaba A girl who is so superior Shouldn't a girl, who's so good inside Have a matching exterior? And since folks here to an absurd degree Seem fixated on your verdigris Would it be all right by you If I de-greenify you?" Of course that's not important to me All right, why not", I'll reply Oh, what a pair we'll be The Wizard and I Yes, what a pair we'll be The Wizard and Unlimited My future is unlimited And I've just had a vision almost like a prophecy I know, it sounds truly crazy And true, the vision's hazy But I swear, someday there'll be A celebration throughout OZ That's all to do with me! And I'll stand there with the Wizard Feeling things I've never felt And though I'd never show it I'd be so happy, I could melt And so it will be for the rest of my life And I'll want nothing else 'til I die Held in such high esteem When people see me, they will scream For half of Oz's favorite team The Wizard and I

Newish Rachel Tucker fan. Saw Rachel in 'The Last Ship' and was blown away. Had I known she was in Wicked, I'd have flown to London! This is a beautiful, heartfelt rendition of For Good. Gina Beck - amazing, too!

Rachel's passion is amazing!

Ok but, she did not take a single breath from that held out “me” that goes into “and I’ll stand up with the wizard” and somehow she delivered that with a growl and vibrato. Amazing!

UM THAT FINAL “AND IIIII” killed me She’s fantastic.

That incredible "melt" riff is just there to distract us from the flawless jazz rhythms she throws in right afterwards. Change my mind.

2023 here

She’s so incredible!

FAV ELPHIE 😭😭😭😭😭

I couldn't watch this without tearing up. Goodness. I love this so much 😭😭😭

Her “and I “ at the end, is simply the best. The growl, the open full straight tone into the controlled even vibrato. Just amazing !

she is soooo beautiful 😍😍

I’m playing Glinda in wicked concert at my new house in June and July

MY FAVORITE ELPHABA OF ALL TIMES

He’s got a wife

The MELT

I love this song

How I wish there is OST her being Elphaba. Just wanna hear her voice. I'm not easily falling in love with theatre actors' voice, but I immediately falling in live with her voice when I saw the video she and Aaron Tveit sing Defying Gravity.

Oh my .... always speechless watching her singing

wow.... amazing vocals and so charesmatic .... just brilliant

Love LOVE LOVE Rachel Tucker!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

3:47 is one of my favorite vocal runs of all time. LOVE IT

Stunning.

This whole performance was awkward there chemistry was so weird 😬

레이첼 터커의 위키드 공연을 볼 수 있었던 2016년으로 돌아가고 싶다ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅜㅠ 브로드웨이 이디나 멘젤도 이런 쾌감은 못주는데ㅠㅠㅠㅠ 한국인 팬 없나요..!!!

Wait why was Gina so emotional? I love her so much 😭🥰

SHES SOO GOOD ASEIFHDSLIUHFALIUHR

Her end note sounded like Christina Aguillera! She's such a delight! :D

Damn that growl!!!!!

And that's on what???? BREATH CONTROL.

Why is she so perfect? I simply love this woman!!!

Honestly obsessed, and her ability to switch accents.. serious talent 😱😍

Awesome, ladies

I still think Willemijn Verkaik is the best Elphaba I've ever heard, but Rachel Tucker is probably #2. And this is hands down the best "Wizard and I" I've ever heard

This is the first time I've ever heard Matt sing anything other than rock/punk style songs and I was gobsmacked wasn't expecting him to be as good as he was! Rachel is amazing though

‘melt’ hit different

she mucked up the high note too

it also needs a bit of Kerry Ellis in this as well

Great singer but the performance needs to be in character and costume and not like she is performing at the Grammies

MELLLLLLLLLTTTTTT

It’s quarantine 2020 and I’ve watched this Atleast a million times
