Broadway in Bryant Park: As Long As You're Mine

Lindsay Mendez and Derek Klena of Broadway's Wicked perform "As Long As You're Mine" at Broadway in Bryant Park on August 8th, 2013.

[@kirbymarie6486]

Three reasons I want to be Lindsay Mendez: 1. Her voice 2. Playing Elphaba on Broadway 3. Kissing Derek Klena

[@magsgiannotti]

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!!!

[@noahc98]

There are no video bootlegs of Derek and Lindsay and that MAKES ME SO MAD

[@MelErcoli]

sAME

[@KaylaGrosse]

I feel like there has to been one hiding SOMEWHERE! lol

[@ayoubaswaray1856]

right?

[@ristygirl792]

There needs to be one sjsjsj

[@niamhronald1851]

there's a short one on lewizardandme channel :)

[@lpsallycat9600]

Best Elphaba and Fiyero chemistry, hands down.

[@jackcohenourfilms6209]

Agreed. I would only see Wicked again if Lindsay, Donna Vivino, or Willemijn Verkaik was Elphaba

[@YankessLove13]

Their voices were MADE to harmonize with each other it's just too perfect

[@emilymcneil6539]

I wish the two of them would professionally record this. One of the best wicked pairings ever

[@dacrammers2594]

it was quite some time ago... which kinda explains that Troy Bolton hair XD

[@regina5135]

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.

[@SkiRacerMinnesota]

His voice has really matured since Dogfight.

[@brennabrown6899]

it BLOWS my mind Derek is only around 22 here. . . THE TALENT

[@PianoDisneygal10]

Have you heard or seen him as Christian in Moulin Rouge yet? He’s doing fantastic in that!

[@GioGrillo04]

Oh I miss them working together so muuuuuch, Lindsay's vlogs were the best tbh

[@aidacubano6351]

No other Elphaba sings this song sexier than Lindsay. I'm melting! :)

[@bigbirdsmallnest8000]

Wtf

[@doritovlogs_9447]

totally agreed

[@LoLipop2340]

KLENDEZ FEELS OH MY LORD.

[@bayleeroberts3285]

YAAAAAS

[@NatureAG]

Ummmm YEAH!!!

[@lana.d.torres]

THE WAY LINDSAY SAYS WICKED NEAR THE END IS GREAT!!!! Their chemistry is the best I've seen

[@KACDWFCD]

Lindsay WON the 2018 TONY!!!!!! Knew she would....(smile)...Congrats chica from Kerry in Upstate....

[@ivorytirendei9932]

I'm on a Klendez binge

[@deadgirlwalkingg]

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

[@CherryBlossom4111]

ALL THE KLENDEZ FEELS

[@savannahgibbons6349]

The 5 people who disliked this video, I just want to know: who hurt you?

[@abialston8476]

kLENDEZ❤️❤️❤️

[@sophiasmith5609]

favorite Elphaba and favorite Fiyero ever!

[@climbinguphill]

I saw Derek in Wicked this summer! Lindsay didn't perform the day I went, but Derek was FANTASTIC :D

[@its_jt_lv]

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!

[@albablabla]

their chemistry!!!!! their friendship!!!!!

[@maggieobersat3861]

When Derek says "Through different eyes..." I can't help thinking about "you shine".

[@-Fionaa-]

2:37-2:40 Chills. Every time. That harmony is so hauntingly beautiful.

[@Ashleylovesitomgcom]

this is my favorite 😍

[@renistoimenovasbloggie846]

Agree. They make a lovely couple in the musical! They can really inspire people.

[@danielleo1214]

KLENDEZ FOREVER!!

[@shaqman145]

Their chemistry is just so perfect.

[@sydneyscott2186]

KLENDEZ!!!!!!

[@myebbers]

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!!!

[@WickedRed3]

Wow, such amazing and strong vocals!! Great job!!!

[@xxgloryxx79]

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.

[@ashleycaturano392]

i'm in love with derek oh my goddddd

[@laursport06]

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.

[@beccafire2168]

[@doritovlogs_9447]

[@oliviacartwright4588]

[@bettinap3288]

Derek is the second best Fiyero after Norbert. I love his voice...

[@judycarrasco74]

Bettina P Agree with you completely!

[@isabelerhart9523]

Yes

[@started_dreaming208]

Period.

[@bayleeroberts3285]

WHY CANT I GET THIS ON ITUNES

[@masteroogway8916]

Holy shit, I saw them on Broadway, this is giving me flashbacks wtf

[@thelunarbay914]

Klendez ♡

[@Amby99]

Love these two!!!!!

[@alizzahGrace]

AHHHH THESE TWO TOGETHER KILL ME

[@andreay.s.escasa95]

derek

[@HazelOct]

Love

[@JennaLoomar]

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

[@BarakatLush]

*dying whale noise* KLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNDDDDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZ......

[@keekeeko]

"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

[@lilianamorales490]

You can also ship people platonically! As in "They're such best friends!" which is more realistic. I prefer their platonic relationship

[@EllaRaeGreeneChildStar]

SO MUCH CEMISTRY IT LOOKS REAL

[@musicprincess9747]

oh. my. gosh. I am sCREECHING!

[@laughoutloud2139]

Anyone else dying to know what Derek told Lindsay at the end to make her laugh? Just me..k.

[@disneydanny2]

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.

[@sophovot5079]

Well if it isn't DJ Fingablast

[@samuelbrown112]

Sophovot long live Kimmy Schmidt ❤️

[@ryanburke4633]

oh yes

[@xMia311]

It’s wild to think that he and his wife are expecting their first child together.

[@norakiernan3613]

they kissed, then I died

[@audreybeyersdorfer4606]

When you find out that your sister worked with Derek Klena

[@abialston8476]

seriously? how?

[@PianoDisneygal10]

It’s been 6 years, and I’d like to know!

[@Sara-sk7jj]

PLEASE!

[@PhoenixJohnson29]

I have the sam shirt as Lindsey is wearing (lol totally random comment)

[@samanthaprosperi6734]

Klena is Derrick . He plays fyiero and Mendez is Lindsay ( ELPHABA) so klendez is their ship name

[@alexs.3383]

Wish I recorded an audio bootleg when I saw them in Wicked. smh @ 2013 me

[@HannahSmith-kr5jh]

IF ANYONE KNOWS WHERE A RECORDING IS OF THEM IN WICKED TOGETHER PLEASE SHARE IT! MY YEAR WOULD BE MADE!

[@AbbySitton]

I USED TO BUT I DON'T HAVE THE LINK ANYMORE I BEG FORGIVENESS

[@alexs.3383]

:-(

[@lenam6576]

Hannah Smith I have the link

[@alexs.3383]

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

[@MollieParkinson]

WHO DISLIKED !!!

[@kiaraclay8492]

[@TheatreDork87]

[@ello_beautiful_3098]

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! 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@milinhazero0]

[@PianoDisneygal10]

Yes, and during it too.

[@rubenesque07]

[@laurenschultz9139]

I just fangirled so hard...it's not even funny!!

[@brunettedoll18]

She's like 10 years older than him though e_e

[@bigbirdsmallnest8000]

Lol

[@myebbers]

What does that mean.. "I ship Klendez" I know what Klendez is..

[@snooopyland]

Taiwan? Is WICKED going to Taiwan?

[@bigbirdsmallnest8000]

Uh no...

[@mandyyu373]

Richard Lin I wish though I live in Taichung and is completely obsessed with Broadway😂

[@elizabethrymbeck1225]

I wish they did the choreography as well with the song. Awkward but cute. I'm pretty disappointed

[@neauxel]

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
