Something I’ve always noticed about this performance is that she seems to already have the glam elphaba act 2 makeup on - like the more distinct contour and lips,etc.

The singing is fine but the camera work spoils it somewhat by zooming in too close. We can't see how high she is above the stage.

WAIT! WAIT! HOLD UP JUST A SEC! This is the proshot! (as in, same performance) I found a close one a while ago, but this is a perfect match! I'll be testing it in editing just to be sure, but I'm positive this time I found it!

This is definitely the proshot performance. As someone else pointed out, she’s wearing the act 2 glam makeup already because it read better on the older cameras.

I’m almost certain this is not the same performance from the pro shot. She sings “flying solo” to score in the pro shot and she doesn’t do the witchy fingers on “take a message” in the pro shot. I bet that pro shot was filmed around the summer of that year though, so close to this.
@veraelphie03067 ай бұрын
@@Scandisk10 she does riff "solo" in the proshot. It's a subtle riff that with the compression of the audio is barely audible. I'm fairly certain it's the same riff as here, but again I have to check

She’s over singing. Don’t like this at all!
@mrbroadwaydorkАй бұрын
Absolutely not. She is using a perfect mix belt and hitting every note, and was the first actress to do so in this role on broadway.
