WICKED's Alyssa Fox and McKenzie Kurtz Perform "For Good" on The Broadway Show with Tamsen Fadal

[@125eth]

Glinda, who usually sings a higher octave, and Elphaba who usually does the opposite, switch octavesfor this song to symbolize the impact they've had on each other.

[@Rachster86]

It’s one of my favorite details that they switch singing parts. Stephen Schwartz was brilliant to do this!

[@speed_poet]

You just blew my mind

[@jungwhat]

whoooaaa I love that detail!

[@ShanosaurusRexGRR]

That would make sense, as I normally sing on the lower side, and I find Glinda’s part in this song easier to sing 😆

[@MadailinBurnhope]

that's a great observation

[@camchapters5732]

Please release a 20th anniversary album with Alyssa and McKenzie! 🥺 They’re amazing

[@arevolutionoflove]

Ahhhh I would play it on repeat every day. They make me cry every time

[@becodetudo6804]

I NEED IT NOWWWWW

[@_rat_5758]

Frrr

[@martinavonstaa1661]

I NEED THIS OMFG

[@DaveDangles]

The 20th Defying Gravity knocks me off my feet every time.

[@operachild]

One of my favorite things about this duet is the actresses often break or release their character and just sing it to one another. And their chemistry speaks for itself.

[@billcook4768]

And that’s how you stay on broadway for 20 years.

[@houseofpirates7923]

Exactly. Look at the top 11 shows they all have great stories and amazing casts even when they rotate out they are still amazing. Same with Greif always putting up amazing social shows over and over again

[@_immyhearn_]

This song tugs on my heartstrings. It’s so perfect from beginning to end. 🥹🤍

[@brittanystewart5362]

McKenzie is absolutely incredible! I saw her Broadway debut on Frozen and am so incredibly happy to see her career continue to blossom!

[@JohnSmith-xx9se]

very nice on the eyes, too.

[@irmagrylle3554]

Ew. @@JohnSmith-xx9se

[@kck5021]

I love how Alyssa looks at McKenzie in the beginning of the song. It almost feels like they’re friends in real life and have that deep respect for one another! 🥰 Great voices! Congratulations to Wicked for 20 years! Great picks for Elphaba and Glinda to commemorate such a milestone!

[@chirenydegroot57]

The crazy thing is they are! They played the last two frozen shows on broadway as anna and elsa before the shutdown . Kenzie said in an interview that this 20th anniversary wicked experience is extra special doing it with alyssa because they feel like they get to finish an unfinished chapter of their lives.

[@kck5021]

@@chirenydegroot57 Oh that’s so nice!! Thank you so much for letting me know 🥰

[@shelbyemig]

​@@kck5021 I've been cutting Alyssa's dads hair for almost 7 years & he always showing me pics, telling me how great she is all the time. He is an amazing person & so proud of his daughter!

[@elisabethmariegaard6414]

How amazing. Some Elphabas play Elsas later on, like Idina Menzel, Caissie Levy and Caroline Baldwin. Now, two actors who have previously played Elsa and Anna play Elphaba and Glinda for the 20th anniversary. Alyssa Fox and McKenzie Kurtz sang this song so beautifully.

[@Shaneeta]

I literally cannot listen to this song without balling my eyes out

[@broad100]

Me too!

[@wrb1000]

Its true - its what we all would die to have, a true friendship.

[@foggyqubti6288]

😢

[@marcalcohen7407]

Seriously sitting here crying like an idiot

[@daonchik]

Not to be that guy, but bawling. Balling your eyes out would be horrifying. But also, yes.

[@maddiehorspool2897]

I saw these two on Broadway perform this. I was bawling the whole time. They’re amazing.

[@iamshineeeee]

I love how this song is about friends/friendship and not about romance but is still soooo emotional and heartwarming. Definitely one of my faves ❤

[@kennykurtz4064]

Wow! No matter what, the tears start as the first piano notes are struck, and I see the way that Alyssa gazes at McKenzie. From there, as they deliver what may be the most gorgeous song in musical theatre history, and exchange looks, and facial expressions that SPEAK VOLUMES as they sing, my tears build. What singers. What actors. WHAT FEELING!

[@lynnern57]

Alyssa went to school with one of my kids. When she was in the 4th grade, I found out she was an incredible singer! She was a star back then!

[@MadiSmith-v4x]

She went to my middle school!

[@luanbarbosa1780]

Alyssa's voice delivers this song perfectly! You feel love, sadness and gratitute, all at the same time when she sings! Such a great choice for Elphaba!

[@TheatreLover-c3r]

McKenzie and Alyssa are outstanding!

[@bennybenedictcgn]

Thry are both up there with the best of them. This glinda is sooo good. It feels so fresh

[@0113Austin]

Ugh such beautiful writing. You know it's a great song when you want to cry just from the first few piano chords

[@heartofstone_]

Saw both of them on Broadway in March. They were phenomenal. Best performance of Wicked I've seen so far! They make such a perfect duo! Cried my eyes out during For Good. 💚💖

[@thepassionateacademic4865]

McKenzie’s eyebrow raise towards Alyssa in the beginning is the best thing ever. You can tell they are close. Gosh I love McKenzie. Hoping to get coached by her.

[@seeleyboothfan2]

So glad that Frozen's premature closing didn't stop McKenzies continued Broadway career.

[@Nicky_Rozay]

Song always gives me chills. These two are perfect together

[@katiegarcia8255]

Just saw them together a couple of weeks ago. It was absolutely BREATHTAKING.

[@ahonenp]

What a wonderful blend of voices. Perfect harmony and a believable friendship….

[@dori2513]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE what Mckenzie does on the last "changed", its so pretty 3:55

[@OkieAllDay]

Both dresses perfectly showcase the girls personality. Props to the costume designer here

[@verunecasova7]

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same. 🌷🌼🌷🌼🌷

[@gutsgust]

Their chemistryyyy everytime they sing this song it makes me cry

[@suzettehenderson9278]

I love the costuming, subtle yet on brand.

[@jackhambleton882]

I love when Alyssa comes in!! Their friendship is amazing!! This Glinda is the best one I’ve seen!!

[@princessbubbles9864]

This is an amazing cast! I wish I could see them perform live.

[@jackhambleton882]

I love Alyssa’s vibrato on “be”! @ 1:37

[@loistintheheatofitall]

I lost count of how many times ive replayed this! SO INSANELY BEAUTIFUL ❤️

[@aurorasverot4898]

I love them😭😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️ I saw them live and it was the best experience of my life.

[@nicekid99]

saw mckenzie as glinda on broadway when i went to watch wicked for the first time. really loved her performance! every part with glinda was my fav

[@pixiequilt]

Always crying in this parts of the play. Maybe because I have always associated this with my very own Glinda in my life. We are all changed by Wicked. Thank you for such a beautiful performance! ♥️

[@yvonnedunlap4164]

I saw Wicked in February and I was blown away. McKenzie is so talented. Alyssa had an understudy who was amazing! I want to see it again!! 💗💚

[@lucytoomey2859]

I am so lucky to have seen you both on broadway in July this year as my graduation trip with my family. You both touched so much and inspire me to keep singing. Thank you so very much to both of you.

[@TheHumorousReader]

I came as soon as I heard!

[@heartofstone_]

All the way from London? Damn!

[@brookegreen4503]

I used to take dance classes with McKenzie, and she used to perform off broadway at the same theatre as me! It’s cool to see her so successful in her talents.

[@summerangel1157]

Was she nice or a diva?

[@jer9grant]

Our 20th anniversary girlies are so good 💚💖

[@broad100]

Wow! I'm blown away. Incredible talent and voices.

[@youtubefanlasvegas7219]

I love when they say: “and THE pearl” I can’t explain how beautiful that sounds 😊

[@ep8755]

Excellent duo. McKenzie has such an amazing voice! Her Glinda is spot on! Alyssa is great too.

[@krytyczka]

The are both amazing! I saw them live both last week on Broadway!❤

[@jameswallwork2493]

Goosebumps literally goosebumps. Beautiful voices, Beautifully complementing each other ❤

[@BackstageWithBeccaB]

oh this brought tears to my eyes. they're so good.

[@aroisnice]

love them both sooo much. I hope we get a studio recording of them

[@alakega]

McKenzie is gorgeous omg! She truly embodies everything Glinda actually is (a stereotypical beautiful, popular, blonde girl). And Alyssa may just be my favourite Elphaba! She makes it look SO effortless 💚💖

[@yowpinay1018]

I love this song so much. I love wicked

When I was a senior in highschool we sang this at my last ever chorus concert just listening to this making me miss this song brings me back to my last ever chorus concert and miss those days

[@logicaldreamer9641]

Alyssa is my Elphie. I saw her on tour in 2015 and I am so happy she is finally the lead

[@KateS1980]

This song is everything to me

[@kitty3189]

Oh how I wish I could make it up to see them 😭

[@andythompson6307]

McKenzie is absolutely fantastic. And drop dead gorgeous too!

[@DeutschpatriotNRW]

Wow…..Amazing ♥️

[@marloujoy14]

The ladies are so gorg!! and their voices???

[@danielh8363]

I saw Alyssa on Broadway when she was the understudy and I was offended that she was the understudy. Like how could anyone be better than that?

[@Ilangbalilang]

Theyre so perfect together

[@israelquezada3785]

What a beautiful lyrics.

[@L4Y_SP]

beautiful

[@elliotstechschulte7168]

I love broadway

[@eddiezuniga1268]

Yeah it’s a really sweet goodbye song

[@oksana175111]

Alyssa’s “say” is so crisp

[@kamilycarvalho5292]

I'm limited Just look at me I'm limited, and just look at you You can do all I couldn't do, Glinda So now it's up to you For both of us Now it's up to you I've heard it said That people come into our lives for a reason Bringing something we must learn And we are led To those who help us most to grow If we let them And we help them in return Well, I don't know if I believe that's true But I know I'm who I am today Because I knew you Like a comet pulled from orbit As it passes a sun Like a stream that meets a boulder Halfway through the wood Who can say if I've been changed for the better? But Because I knew you I have been changed for good It well may be That we will never meet again In this lifetime So let me say before we part So much of me Is made of what I learned from you You'll be with me Like a handprint on my heart And now whatever way our stories end I know you have re-written mine By being my friend Like a ship blown from its mooring By a wind off the sea Like a seed dropped by a skybird In a distant wood Who can say if I've been changed for the better? But Because I knew you Because I knew you I have been changed for good And just to clear the air I ask forgiveness For the things I've done you blame me for But then, I guess we know there's blame to share And none of it seems to matter anymore Like a comet pulled from orbit (like a ship blown from its mooring) As it passes a sun (by a wind off the sea) Like a stream that meets a boulder (like a seed dropped by a bird) Halfway through the wood (in the wood) Who can say if I've been changed for the better? I do believe I have been changed for the better And because I knew you Because I knew you, because I knew you I have been changed For good

[@sammistrade]

SOOOOO GOOOOOODDDD

[@natalscar]

Wow. Best version I've heard since the original

[@norikahiguchi6966]

Lyric I've heard it said, That people come into our lives, For a reason. Bringing something we must learn. And we are lead to those, Who help us most to grow if we let them. And we help them in return. Well I don't know if I believe that's true. But I know I'm who I am today, Because I knew you. Like a comet pulled from orbit, As it passes a sun. Like a stream that meets a boulder, Halfway through the wood. Who can say if I've been changed for the better, But because I knew you, I have been changed for good. It well may be, That we will never meet again, In this lifetime. So let me say before we part, So much of me, Is made of what I learned from you. You'll be with me, Like a hand print on my heart. And now whatever way our stories end, I know you have rewritten mine, By being my friend. Like a ship blown from it's mooring, By a wind off the sea. Like a sea dropped by a sky bird, In a distant wood. Who can say if I've been changed for the better, But because I knew you Because I knew you I have been changed for good. And just to clear the air, I ask forgiveness, For the things I've done, You blamed me for. But then, I guess, We know there's blame to share. And none of it seems to matter, Anymore. Like a comet pulled from orbit (Like a ship blown from it's mooring,) As it passes a sun. (By a wind off the sea.) Like a stream that meets a boulder, (Like a sea dropped by bird,) Halfway through the wood. (In the wood.) Who can say if I've been changed for the better. I do believe I have been changed for the better. And because I knew you Because I knew you Because I knew you, I have been changed For good.

[@roberthammond3909]

Wow! I’m a bit of a wicked historian. These two sound absolutely incredible together!
