No one works harder than a Wicked conductor at an Elphaba's last show.

[@CountryCowboy008]

Lmao true

[@daniellincoln3744]

i dunno maybe the actor singing Elphaba???

[@louisbeer]

@@daniellincoln3744 sure being on stage require more confidence but I’d argue conducting a 20 piece orchestra is harder lol😂

[@jalon24]

@@louisbeer Honestly it’s fun and a breeze if you’re experienced in the skill! (Speaking from experience haha)

[@EasternStandardTim]

Riffing like someone who can’t be fired 🤣 love it

[@JorgeElda]

She said in a video that since it was her last show anyway, she was like “what the hell…” lol

[@danhoward2726]

But got a better job 😉

[@Ndoggy1127]

She can’t be fired lol she signed a contract she’s guaranteed a number of shows under her contract per actors equity

[@karllove6042]

But she can probably be fired if she didn’t follow the terms of the contract, like listening to the music director

[@ashrose4979]

it seems to be a tradition for last Elphaba's- ive seen at least four bootlegs of different last shows. I wouldn't be surprised if it was an allowed tradition.

[@tannermulkay6332]

Was the riff a bit much? Yes. Would I also pay an obscene amount of money to hear it live and be caught off gaurd, surprised, and delighted by it? Also yes.

[@courtneythompson6179]

She sounds so healthy 😭

[@deanb6489]

There have been MANY amazing, talented women who have played Elphaba. But Jessica Vosk, IMO, is the definitive version of this iconic character!

[@Jblkal82]

I totally agree! I’ve watched and compared a lot of Elphabas and she is definitely the best.

[@tarad8233]

Emily Kristen Morris has usurped her.

[@zachee09]

No lies told here!

[@augustushaynes1311]

@@tarad8233I’m sorry to say this but you’re nuts if you believe that.

[@wsasi07]

My Mother and I attended this performance! My mind was blown! I’ve seen it 2x more and this was by far the best performance.

[@enya2600]

Masterclassing her way through life. She's simply unmatched.

[@spintaneousrazzle]

I wish her “flying high deFYYYIIIng gravity” hit like this during her Broadway run. It was still phenomenal though.

[@Todoroki-vn6qu]

She definitely deserved every second of applause. This performance was breathtaking.

[@spookyvineboycovers9424]

She’s so extra and I live for it

[@zentryii]

Healthiest Elphaba!

[@lautarogonzales470]

yess i agree, her and Hannah Corneau imo are the healthiest and one of the best elphies

[@Nick-kz6dg]

@@lautarogonzales470 And Jemma Rix (AU). She played various Elphabas over a DECADE and her voice is clean as ever!

[@Elentiya256]

Something about the way she sings deserves here gives me chills every time 5:14

[@AndreJohnsonWriter]

The drummer tho. 🔥🔥🔥

[@zingiestbug4251]

Been looking for this comment

[@joshrmcgee]

Would love to play this show on drums!

[@augustushaynes1311]

This is a badass show for a talented drummer to play. They can just have a field day. I would’ve loved to see Ronnie Tutt or Neil Peart play this show for instance.

[@ellebee.91]

She captures the voiceism of the WWOTW from the movie perfectly. I also really like the comedic element on the "quick get on" 😄

[@lukepevensie]

They should have had Jessica in the movie but I want a pro shot of the play between the 2 movies.

[@Missdaae]

God, I love Jessica Vosk with my whole entire soul😭

as you should!

Jessica is the best Elphaba hands down, IMO. Just a natural talent making it look and sound effortless.

If loving her is wrong, I don't want to be right

[@ciaransammon]

Oh my goodness! The final riff. I fell off the chair 😍😍

[@yoursjuli]

listen i know they have their rules and regulations down to literally which lines they're allowed to riff on and which ones they're not, but i love a big, busy, gymnastics-full DG and no one will ever sway me on this. i know people think it's annoying and i get Why but that could honestly never be me. imo that's what other songs are for. when i hear someone sing DG i want to be Overstimulated 😭

[@lizziebakeoven3225]

I was blessed to see her and ginna Clare in her last week. Hands down best elphie and glinda I've seen

[@Courtney-vw6wq]

Jessica Vosk you’re amazing!! You’ve always been a star since our days in skit in our little home town.

[@notmyducks3]

The riff at 6:11 👌🏾👌🏾😩

[@connorhill1247]

It’s the teaser of what comes 11 seconds later and it’s PERFECT

HOLLLLYYYYY FUCKKKKK HER RIFFS ARE SOOOO CLEAN

My god was Jessica bringing it here. Even more so than usual which I would’ve previously thought impossible.

[@s0undstrulycrazy]

I love this video for what it is but I’m also so annoyed that it moves up at the end because I wanna see her giving face on thaf last riff 😂

Jessica was great at national tour and broadway!

[@MegGreco]

Best song in the entire show!

The best elphaba eveeeeeeeeeeer!

[@mep8135]

Jessica Vosk didn't need to go THAT hard but she did that for us

[@marcomotroni]

Honestly was expecting more riffing seeing the comments. First 98% of the song was pretty by the books lol. Great performance

[@michaelmartinez4983]

I miss the days when the audience waited to applaud until after the end of the song so you didn’t miss anything. Jessica is a legend.

[@ebonypegasus9864]

That was powerful...... what a voice! and so much emotion

[@michaelparness2896]

She reminds me the most of the Elphaba in Maguire's book. Frantic, certain, intense but incredibly vulnerable when it suits her.

[@valerieselau7384]

Goosebumps 😊

then go watch the OBC’s show what the hell-

[@EasternStandardTim]

So, as much as i love Idina, have u listened to her live performances or are you just listening to the cast album, i dont think youd say that if u watched her live

[@darkmariomodder64]

@@EasternStandardTim Idina is kind of hit or miss. She has impressive and amazing performances, and then she has low energy performances with a lot of voice cracks. I suggest you watch the one from 31/10/2006 in London, as that was the best one

[@dragonpaulz_]

Kristin is still really good, and one of the best glindas the show has seen. Idina....yeaaaaaaaa shes never been a good elphaba in terms of vocals. She isnt awful or anything, but you wouldn't have to think hard to name 10 elphabas better than her in a short amount of time

[@darkmariomodder64]

@@dragonpaulz_ well, Idina's voice is really dependant of her mood, of her health, and of her energy, really... In her bad performances she was either sick or visibly tired. Or she was nervous and trying to rush it (that especially happened when she knew she was getting recorded, like the Tony's, the late show, the OBC promotional video, the OLC promotional video, and to some extent in the Royal Variety too, though she was also getting over a cold). In the recorded performances where she didn't know fans were recording her, she was more relaxed and sounded way better. That was especially prominent in the Halloween 2006 performances. She was healthy, she wasn't trying to rush, she took all her time, extending the "me"'s and even did some riffs. She sounded amazing. In her last performance as Elphaba (31/12/2006), she was visibly emotional, which lead her to cry on stage, but she was still a lot more relaxed than usual and still managed to get her grand finale with a blast, I mean, I don't think there was any better way of closing the cycle of her time as Elphie than with that amazing performance

[@Feddegg]

wow
