Full Widescreen version finally

[@ber2704]

Can we just appreciate how green and adorable Rachel is? 💚💚

[@whosagrump9147]

this audience is so dead omg

[@lulufa88]

louise is so hilarious, it cracks me up all the time. i cant believe they are not loughing. the crowd is boring.

[@hannahb7869]

the whole point of Galinda in this song is that she's annoying, that's the joke buddy boys

[@WildFlameGame]

Gotta love that dead audience, though... XD

[@Dolph1nie]

ikr XD I was waiting to hear them laugh but they we silent and im like BRUH DATS TO FUNNY HOW ARE YOU NOT LAUGHING *slaps them*

[@ysinoquiero2019]

They are British. Lol

[@julianbrown7976]

This is by far the best rendition I have seen. And there are hundreds on YT.

[@unidan82]

Love louise but my fave and first was dianne Pilkington! She delivered a kinda bonkers glinda that was just perfection

[@Tuckmanfan1992]

no idea how much I miss Louise & her Glinda!! love them both lots! Lou's popular was the best & funniest thing I've seen! like I said I miss her!!

[@erinsboroughfan]

I love Louise's facial expression on 'you've got an awfully long way to go'....totally spot on,:) Tuckman are fabulous in every way! :D

[@samwalkerlondon87]

I find it quite funny so many comments saying things like "Oh! They're British!" or "They have British accents!" Have none of our American Cousins heard of the West End? Or did you think we borrow Broadway stars all year round? Also, extra shock value for some of you, Rachel Tucker is Irish. She used to put on an English accent for the show, as some boring people who don't get out much in London would not be able to cope with anything else. Sadly stars originating from Ireland, Scotland and Wales generally have to put on the "Newsreader" accent. Considering the diverse population in London, you think we would make more effort to understand accents of those in the United Kingdom.

[@nkwari]

+Sam Walker The only British people they put on the news in the United States are the Royal Family. That seems to be the end of our exposure to the UK. Also Adele if she is releasing an album.

[@unidan82]

+Centennial lol really?? In most American shows there's a British person doing an American accent ;)

[@mezza001]

Rachel and Louise are wonderful! I saw Rachel in Wicked at the Gershwin Theatre on the 6th May 2016, she blew me away with her performance together with the other amazing casts!

[@unidan82]

It's nothing to do with understanding the accent as she was allowed to use her own accent in we will rock you. It's a character who is written that way and its up to the artistic director. - like how the wizard has a southern American accent. Idina only used her American accent because she couldn't carry off an English accent. Rachel is tremendously talented and can convincingly be English, southern Irish, cockney and America and I'm sure more besides

[@selina5598]

I prefer hearing different accents for both Glinda and Elphaba because they are from different places anyway. For example, I've always seen a Scottish Boq so for me, he just has that accent. I think the 'posh' accent works well for buttoned up Elphaba but also I'd love to hear a Northern accent on her as well to contrast with a 'posh English' or American Glinda

[@MegaVal1964]

What a fantastic performance. Louise is hilarious. Saw them at the theatre. Brilliant actresses

[@ericgomez386]

This is one of my favorite Glinda performances!

[@RobertHeslop]

If I was in that audience I'd have been arrested for causing a 'riot' by screaming at the top of my voice at how much I love both Rachel and Louise and going " WOO " every available moment...

[@BoHista23]

I don't mind the accents, I just don't think this Glinda's voice is youthful enough.

[@melsthemagnificent8179]

Dan Nicky your Bobbie s I agree. The accents dont bother me, but her voice does. She sounds waay older.

[@elphbwckd212]

She sounds younger then Helen dallimore. She sounded like Mrs. Potts old. Lol I've noticed a lot of the West end glindas have and older sounding voice. Maybe that's what they look for when they cast the role because it is more proper and high class sounding? Idk but it doesn't work for me. I love a lot of the West end elphabas but I have yet to see a Glinda that really impresses me.

[@jenniferedney695]

Agreed

[@Martello736]

Louise Dearman is perfection itself, she sounds like Fizz off the Tweenies :D That crowd ought to be given an electric shock every time they didn't laugh when they should have done (which is about twenty times)

[@HELLOZacha]

Love her acting voice ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@charliebalfour3586]

Rachel and Louise were the first Elphaba and Glinda i saw (october 2011)...so nostalgic

[@tearay1073]

Glinda sounds a bit too nasal here, but the acting's on point for the character! :D

[@pengoschwortz4734]

Cupaholic Milo true

[@moa5364]

Cupaholic Milo shes perfect

[@Blaineiskindagay]

Cupaholic Milo Yup

[@joannaace1997]

LeoKenan MSP o

[@leafpool4480]

Most glindas i see r nasal and headvoicy

[@HenryWachs]

I feel so bad for them though. They worked so hard and the audience though....

[@ellietaggart5411]

Am I the only person who loves British accents ???😂❤️

[@unidan82]

Ellie Taggart Xx nope - in fact the originally director has been known to say he always pictured galinda as British.

[@doerayme28]

Rachel is my inspiration love her so much such an amazing Elfaba love her so much❤️💚

[@h0neyp13]

Have I mentioned how much I love Louise Dearman because I do

[@jemmadavidge5963]

Rachel Tucker IS Elphaba. I'm shook.

[@PeterJohnJnb]

When I read comments like: "This HIGHLY offends me" or "Those accents ruined it" or similar tripe, I really, REALLY have to bleed for humanity. But then that's a sign of the times I suppose. We live in the age of the "great offence takers" don't we? Want real issues? Leave your comfortable lives in the west and come and see the rest of the world. Diversity is to be celebrated, or are we all supposed to be morphing into a single-cell amoeba now?

[@ellietomczynski4880]

Peter-John de Kock i completely agree with you and stupid “ offence-takers” annoy the hell out of me, however as a proud brit i was shook at some of the rudeness in the comments so i hope u understand why some people were saying there were offended.

[@MissLionRose]

her little dance at 2:09!!! lol

[@bunkerhillguy2542]

I’m shook that Louise played BOTH Glinda and Elphaba!

[@RobertHall2024]

I think Louise is sensational!

[@charliebalfour3586]

2:11-2:18 is me when i see a spider Honestly that bit is sooooooo funny- cracks me up every time!

[@zionconley1940]

I like this there British accents add a fun element to it

[@seling97]

woah i can't see louise as glinda cos when i saw wicked she was elphaba...but man does she nail both parts

[@unidan82]

let me guess you're American? Also I'm guessing you're going by the CD soundtrack? First of all, it's in an English Accent because it is on in England. Secondly, the producer of Wicked Worldwide has stated that he always wanted G(a)linda to have an English accent and has been very positive about Louise's portrayal. Lastly, to compare a LIVE vocal to someone's STUDIO vocal is just ridiculous, Idina was never very good live and there are very few audios where she sounds good live.

[@alizarashid3967]

I love lousie dearman

[@idk-oh2ix]

People are hating on the accents, but I personally don't get it. Actually, they're kinda cute. xd

[@epicmaddie]

I can't really imagine a british Elphie, but i can totally imagine a british G(a)linda. This was brilliant!

[@TheHalomaster256]

+epicmaddie Ngl this British seemed kind of forced in places, but trust me Emma Hatton was perfect when i saw her in Apollo, her British charm really pulls through but its all natural, never forced

[@gokidragneel360]

+TheHalomaster256 Rachel Tucker is actually from Northern Ireland so she's having to surpress her Irish accent

[@pointone1125]

The British Elphie is something you get used to very quickly. As a matter of fact I had to get used to hearing the show with an American accent as I saw it in London first.

[@selina5598]

For me Elphaba suits the 'posh' English accent very well. Goes well with the buttoned up character

[@macylee4746]

Selina Moses I think that they should all have different accents. It shows that they come from all over, the characters I mean. Although, I do think this Glinda was trying too hard, and her voice was just kind of unbearable. Lol. It was even worse than Kristin Chenoweth. And by worse, I mean peppy and high pitched!☺️❤️♥️

[@AirTravel415]

Is it me or Wicked sounds even better with a British accent?

[@TheMccutcheon]

seen this musical in london and i thought it was amazing

[@fermangogo]

Loved the accent! :)

[@100chan100]

i remember watching this in the theatre .. SO FUNNY!!! XD

[@jokerox305]

LOL I love how Rachel is just like "You really don't have to do that. Seriously. Don't"

[@puzkbegeal6084]

0:13 RACHEL TUCKER IS SO FUNNY I SWEAR

[@ClairenotClary]

2:10 me trying to impress my crush

[@zoemoore1522]

I really love the musical is good of them

[@MsMusiqueGeek]

If you watch any show performance on Alan Titchmarsh, there is never a reaction at all, it just isn't normal. And normally people are howling at this number in the theatre.

[@emergedthegirl]

Saw this play 2 nights ago. Louise Dearman is hilarious!

[@ms.potato4145]

0:32 Is the face you make when you are completely done with life

[@buckwheatfried]

Great makeup

[@dorothychambers938]

i love your song

[@eddieplummer2963]

I love Glindas voice

[@123bigboy78]

Louise is the best Glinda ever!!!!

[@ValtronW]

Aw she's so cute.

[@cassiecope99]

This Glinda is presently playing Elphaba in the UK. WEeird O.o

[@havetoexplode]

@chrissysmellmyfarts if you watch the show with them in, they are so good.

[@poetmistress2009]

💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚🌈💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚!!!!!!!

[@unidan82]

Kristin of course is very good, but her's and Louise's portrayals are very different.

[@Mulderitssme]

Rachel is beautiful

[@seadragon01]

what were the crowd on tranquilisers

[@unidan82]

Have you even SEEN Wicked? That's kinda one of the main points of the show... that people judge too much looks.

[@gemzn]

OH i love Louise :) 'I no, that what makes me so nice :)'

[@princeorii7815]

Louise, Megan, Alli, & Kristen. top 4

[@Livvy-fd8ll]

Good Acting

[@DreamifyReality]

However I can't wait to see her play elpahbaba! :D xxx

[@XavierLey-rq8lr]

Bro watch it on 2x it is so funnnnyyyyyyy

[@Mediaevalwolfe]

I love Louise Dearman, but definitely preferred her as Elphie - she gets to use her whole range rather than having to put on a voice.

[@shellieng2809]

I think this version is better than the one in the wicked I saw in theater (but only this song) because in the one I saw Gilda was screaming and shrieking and being even more crazy than in here. Although I wasn't Elphaba, I felt 'OMG GET A GRIP!'

[@midgetmya2086]

I've seen the video of that girl haha

[@arabellareyes1177]

om god there totally crazy especially Glinda

[@RobertHeslop]

1:41 - love that look she gives

[@griffolarkin]

Despite the fact that British accents are absolutely gorgeous, I do tend to think that doing Wicked with British accents is a bit like doing Sweeney Todd or Oliver! with American accents. It just doesn't quite fit. The Wizard of Oz as a work is pure Americana, despite the fact that it doesn't necessarily take place in the United States. Unidan82 has a solid point though. The accent bothers me less with Glindas than it does with Elphabas.

[@marciaharper2867]

they're british!!!! that's awesome!!

[@butterflybee3880]

2:10, I swear she has problems... 😜

[@konikim423]

Julia

[@wizard7101]

First time it's ever happened

[@JazzHands3333]

MEGAN HILTY FOREVER!

[@callumfs]

autumn

[@hollieturner166]

It's like someone made clones of Kristen Stewart and put her in a crowd. This is funny!!

[@101DancingQueen101]

It's really weird seeing Louise play Glinda! She's great though.

[@TheKonnoisseur11]

Is it me or is louise dearmans face and voice old and young at the same time ? 😅

[@SayrahMellow]

EVEN OUT OF CONTEST THIS IS FUNNY! What the hell is up with the crowd man? Pfft.

[@cclivgg]

“Dead crowd” ...I guess you’ve never been in a West End or just British crowd... politely listen and watch, and at the end applaud and laugh about how funny the number was.

[@kb-co3cp]

I thought this was so funny omg

[@tantix]

british galinda reminds me of stingy from lazytown

[@JoelARTPOP88]

She's not wearing the green leotard that's make up. And the act 2 wig.

[@mythic_fci762]

And to think Louise also did Elphaba...

[@BethMGx]

Im sorry but Rachel Tucker IS Elphaba and Louise Dearman IS Glinda. So much better than anyone else Ive seen perform the roles. Their accents sound fine and Louise's interpretation is just the best. Lets leave it at that

[@DuelMedia]

BethMG x love that I come here and find you defending Tuckman...

[@BethMGx]

hahah gotta defend my faves! tuckman is life!

[@CrumbsFreed]

I have to admit, I prefer Gina Beck as Glinda. I think Louise's approach is perhaps a little too 'harsh'. I love Rachel, though! Unfortunately, she wasn't performing the night I went to see 'Wicked' but I saw Nikki as Elphaba and she was incredible! Still, it'll be interesting to see how Louise takes on Elphie! Good Luck to her!

[@xxJodelleFerlandxx]

Well... the show is in Britain. Therefore, it makes sense for all character to have a British accent. It bugged me at first, but seeing the whole show with a British accent, it actually sounded better that way.

[@Luna-xr9bv]

tough crowd

[@nathanva1635]

We get it they're British can we get to music of the night

[@rapgleek]

Rachel's from Northern Ireland.

[@cassiecope99]

I like it better on Broadway.

[@EatRainbowsNbeHappy]

the british accent adds the beauty to wicked but i rather louise as elphaba

[@havetoexplode]

@chrissysmellmyfarts no it doesn't, they're amazing.

[@cherrynoodles5516]

Is it just me that thinks Louise as Elphaba is so much better than Louise as Glinda? She's just so different from the other Glindas that it's a bit off putting, but her Elphaba is outstanding.

[@THEATREisJOY]

popular shouldn't be the song thats performed as a showcase, because no one gets it out of the context

[@megatrongriffin2075]

i'll help you be popula!

[@chantalosaroth]

She's so British

[@graceshelby6560]

Chantal Osaroth gasp

[@hjinjeo3545]

워후.. 글린다 찐 하이틴 재질이다... 눈동자에 광기가 있네...

[@ber2704]

Louise has a good voice herself, but she always forces this Glinda voice which is completely different and I don't like it too much. But she's a beastly Elphie.

[@shoogamoogaman]

Dat audience..

[@Starryeyeddreamer2001]

Gamora fell all the way down here

[@unidan82]

that's just not possible. you must be mistaken.

[@DM-pg9pj]

Who slowed down nightcore again

[@kaitlynv2769]

Am I the only the one that likes the accent? No, just me? Ok then.

[@unidan82]

That Insane Fangirl I would love if in the movie glinda was British and Fiyero was Australian and boq Scottish or something - would be brilliant :)
