I was very fortunate to be the audio recording engineer for this dvd/tv special. Unlike many shows I've worked on over the past 30 years, NONE of the vocals were replaced in the studio later. What you hear is what she sang in Toronto that night. Idina is an amazing talent, and a pleasure to work with. I've done over 4000 live recordings since 1978, and it's seldom I hear a performance while I'm mixing in the truck that makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. This was certainly one of them.

There are a lot of terrific Broadway singers n I've seen so many shows on Bway in my life, I can't even count at this point. I have so many faves, but the only other person that tops Idina imo is Linda Eder. She played Lucy in the Bway cast of Jekyll n Hyde from 97-2001. I was absolutely floored when I heard her sing.

Idina is not a star because she has a "perfect voice", she's a star because she can perform the sh*t out of what she sings - putting her whole heart into her characters and bringing them to life through song. Her tone is unique, some like it some don't, but it's another reason why she stands out from the crowd. There are plenty of great singers out there who never get a a "big break" because they can't be vulnerable/have no stage presence/have no special "x" factor. They focus so hard on being perfect they don't know how to be genuine in front of an audience. They don't take risks, their performances aren't surprising or intriguing because of this. People can get perfect from autotuned top 40 if they want it. Give me Menzel's imperfect but passionate performances everyday of the week over a dozen bland performers with "perfect technique".

NerdLady100 In 2003 (when Idina was in NYC for Wicked in its opening year) my dad worked the lighting crew at Gershwin, where Wicked is performed, and I got to see it three times in just as many months and then again for Kristin Chenoweth's last performance in 2005. It's magical, truly. She doesn't hit every note just right, and that's what I love. She poured her soul into it, and I think that's what "perfect" is; putting your all into it and, at the end of the day, nobody's going to care about that note because it was a memorable performance. As for her arms, it's a Broadway thing. SInce theatres are so big and people are so small in comparison, movements are exagerrated. The choreography has been ingrained in her, too, and that moment is when Elphie lifts her magic broom and is shouting to take the attention off Glinda

You really feel Elphie as she handles her fear, resiliance and empowerment but you can also see that wild “wicked witch” glare that the Ozians would be led into believing was terrifying. It’s beautifully done. Still my all time favourite Elpheba.

You know what I think people? Keep your harsh opinions to yourself. No Idina's voice is not dying, no her voice does not suck. She never has time to rest her vocal chords between all the shows, performances, broadway, etc. Her voice is TIRED, not DEAD. You know what else, and no it's not an excuse she does have really bad asthma.. She did not have an attack performing this song but she still has it. And also this song is an extremely DIFFICULT song to sing. You can't expect every performance to be perfect. But Idina does slay it. Idina did great here and I think she has an outstanding voice. Even other people who played Elphaba struggled sometimes and were also pitchy on occasions. It happens. Stop expecting everyone to be perfect all the time. Love you Idina.

Idina Menzel got her first start playing Maureen in Rent the Musical and then became very well known in the Broadway community for originating the role of Elphaba in Wicked the Musical. However, most people saw her for the first time on Glee as Lea Michelle's mother. Know even more people are discovering Idina for the first time thanks to Frozen's Let it Go. By the way, the songwriters and composers Robert and Kristen Lopez specifically wrote that song for Idina Menzel whom they referred to as "one of the most glorious voices of Broadway and an icon in musical theater".

I was also wondering why and recently read that she sang the original in a very difficult tone (for her current voice) to sound more youthful (since the character is 21) so when she tries to reproduce that she has problems, specially live. She said she regrets that but I dont think she should. She overdid it to make the character better and more believeable (risking her image later) and I admire this passion for character making! That's what I always admired about her, she pours her heart into characters and go over technique, voice or w/e other things other singers find it so important to bring the emotions and characters to life. That's why she's unbeateable to me, even if she loses some belting for that!!!! ps: I'd trade any "efforteless" and "perfect" performances for her emotional (yet flawed) ones any day, any time.

Idina is still the best Elphaba for me... I've watched this video a hundred times and compared it to those Broadway actresses who sang defying gravity as well. ... Idina has it.... She was, is and will always be the best singer of this piece.. not because her voice is better than anyone else, but because her heart, her attitude, her soul, and her ... embracing the character makes her stand out among everyone. Defying Gravity + Idina Menzel = The best

Samantha Corulla It's always fantastic to see an actor or actress bring back an old role and get totally lost in it. For the first part, you can tell she was a little uncomfortable with the pace and not having another actress there to trade lines with, but around 2:51, as Tess mentioned, she's back in her costume on stage as elphaba, and that's beautiful. Fun fact: Idina likes to perform "Defying Gravity" because in her last full performance, they had a sub operating the elevator down to the orchestra pit in the almost-last scene and she pulled it too early, so she fell and was grabbing the stage so she wouldn't fall, but the impact broke one of her ribs. She didn't know it would be her last time performing Defying Gravity for Wicked, so she takes every opportunity to sing it when they offer to let her do so
