West End LIVE 2019: Wicked performance

"This performance proved Popular! Defying Gravity yet again, Wicked's performance at West End LIVE 2019 was utterly spellbinding!
Based on the acclaimed novel by Gregory Maguire that re-imagined the stories and characters created by L Frank Baum in The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz, Wicked tells the incredible untold story of an unlikely but profound friendship between two girls who first meet as sorcery students: the blonde, popular Glinda, and the misunderstood, shy, green Elphaba.

Elphaba WOW she hit that high note like an absolute champ! An amazing combo between these two

[@babyshark154]

this glinda is phenomenal

[@emmajudge7717]

jayjay 154 yes it’s sophie evans and i’ve seen her twice and trust me - she’s even better in the show. unfortunately she has ended her run now along with the main elphie at the time (alice fearn who i’ve seen - my all time favourite elphaba, search up her final Wizard and I ans Defying Gravity to be blown away) - this is an understudy elphie (laura pick who i have also seen)

[@han-ks9vo]

37 seconds in and i’m already in love w glinda

[@nikitaridley6995]

It’s weird hearing Sophie without her welsh accent like that’s the girl I see in shops and followed her musical journey since the beginning she’s made wales proud

[@hollymarie9578]

Can’t believe soph only has 4 weeks left at wicked !! I need to see her one more time before her run ends!! She is the most amazing Glinda I’ve ever witnessed omg 😭

[@adamjones5459]

Sophie really is phenomenal as Glinda!

[@benc9815]

Elphaba's verse in For Good took on a whole new meaning. Sophie Evans (Glinda) leaves at the cast change in a few weeks and Laura Pick (Elphaba) is staying on.

[@n.w.1786]

@Tucker,Fearn and Bentley’s Angel Forever why are you so bitter about Laura and why do you use such derogatory language toward her? Did she steal you cat or what?

[@caitlinireland4396]

Just saw Laura as Elphaba today in London with Helen Woolf as Glinda. Both were and had absolutely Stunning vocals

[@caitlinireland4396]

@Tucker,Fearn and Bentley’s Angel Forever yikes you troll! She really makes you feel for Elphaba and portrays the real emotion and skill, and I mean her vocals, STUNNING. how dare you. How would you feel if that was you up there and some one was saying that exact same thing about you?

[@oliviaadkin1856]

Isn’t Laura the standby for elephaba in my programme that’s what it said

[@aoibhexoxo]

Laura had an understudy today

[@Louquinn663]

Saw this at the apollo victoria the same day as west end live.... Sophie Evans is amazing she is so bloody funny and Laura is simply superb voice as clear as a bell

[@Louquinn663]

@Tucker,Fearn and Bentley’s Angel Forever i am not that fond of Alice...from audios/videos i have seen/heard she does too much vocal play and for me it ruins it

[@bookishm]

Personally I don’t think either Alice or Laura are the better one, in my opinion they play the role pretty differently and from what I’ve seen both their interpretations are great?!

[@blahkayonaFriday]

British accents have ruined this musical,

[@emmajudge7717]

blake no, i hate wicked in american accents. i get that’s how it started, but i feel like it makes it sound so much rawer and more felt emotions rather than the drawl that comes with the american accents. also in the show, in What is this Feeling, elphie stops, looks at the crowd and says ‘blonde’ in a comedic moment, and it’s much more funny when it’s just an ubrubt british ‘blonde’ rather than ‘blaaahhndd’

[@alicialambert6043]

Absolutely, without a doubt, one of the most breathtaking and magical performances. Was so so lucky to have been there, just to see these two perform. Laura is a true star and the west end was not ready for her and does not deserve such a fantastically brilliant inspiring woman. Months later and I still have goosebumps over that defying gravity. ❤️🌟

[@emmajudge7717]

Alicia Lambert don’t get me wrong, i love love love laura - i’ve seen her live and wow🤩 but have you heard the 2018 West End Live with the main Elphie at the time Alice Fearn? that i strongly believe is even better💕

[@alicialambert6043]

@@emmajudge7717 Yes I did see it. However I didn't connect with Alice's Elphaba at all, nor her performance at West End Live in 2018. It's just a chemistry thing. I saw her as Elphaba 6 times. I just lean more towards laura's portrayal and voice is all :)

[@emmajudge7717]

FearnTuckerBentley i appreciate you sticking up for my view here, but i don’t think you should call her a piece of crap just for having a different opinion. laura is phenomenal - i said that in my first comment - but it’s taste and loads of my friends prefer laura as well and it’s no big deal, we’re all different. so again i appreciate your intentions towards me but i don’t think it should be bitter towards the fans of the different elphies - they’re all out of this world or they wouldn’t’ve got the job!🤩💕

I love this song so much

[@calchmielewski9072]

My cousin and I sang this song at a talent show last year I only now realized how profound it was, as she was going on to high school and I was staying behind in junior high I love this song, we still sing it together and it brings me so much joy

[@n.w.1786]

@Tucker,Fearn and Bentley’s Angel Forever and if you had just a minimal knowledge about Wicked London you would know that the actual order of appearance is Alice (atm) then Laura if Alice cannot perform and ONLY THEN the understudies if the above mentioned ladies cannot make it.

[@hb-rz6wb]

Laura’s defying gravity is stunning 💚

[@yuhwinderella2096]

Tucker,Fearn and Bentley’s Angel Forever it was super good I don’t know what you’re thinking. Okay you have your opinions on other elphies. we get it you think Tucker, Fearn, and Bentley are good but it still doesn’t change other opinions. She sounds astonishing.

[@yuhwinderella2096]

Tucker,Fearn and Bentley’s Angel Forever the role Elphaba is a tough one. And all in all it’s the production teams decision and if they see someone who has theater experience they’ll usually pick them

[@ricardoreitsma4563]

It's certainly not bad, but I've seen several live performances which definitely did top this one. I really had the feeling I was watching a decent singer do a concert-like performance, rather than her actually acting the part and singing it like she is. That's not *bad*, but for someone who ought to act the part, it could've been better.

[@Emma-tn5dz]

Emma Hatton will always be my favourite Elphaba❤️

[@edie8931]

@@ricardoreitsma4563 laura is so amazing and it’s hard to act the song in this environment with lyric changes etc, plus she was a standby here so she didn’t have too much experience, watch her 2021 one

[@Ethan-gz1ul]

For Good is one of my favourites!! ❤️😭

[@musicatheatrefan]

Absolutely love this. Sophie is an amazing Glinda, and she was so sweet when I met her at the stage door after the show. I still have yet to see Laura play Elphaba live on stage, but maybe one day I'll get to see her. Love her performance in this though 💚💚💚💚

[@musicatheatrefan]

@Tucker,Fearn and Bentley’s Angel Forever If she couldn't act or emote, they wouldn't have hired her as the standby. And I'd like to see Laura live because I'm all about keeping an open mind about different actresses. I do love Alice as Elphaba, don't get me wrong (see my profile picture), but I also like to see different actresses as Elphaba.

[@musicatheatrefan]

@Tucker,Fearn and Bentley’s Angel Forever That's pretty cool. And everyone has their own opinions on which actresses they like, and not everyone is going to have the same opinions. I'm just sad that Alice, Sophie, David and Rosa all finish their runs on July 20th. But the new Glinda and Madame Morrible, Helen Woolf and Kim Ismay respectively, are both awesome. I saw them both live in Dublin last year and they were awesome. They were also super nice at stage door as well.

[@musicatheatrefan]

@Tucker,Fearn and Bentley’s Angel Forever David has actually been there for a year, and he's actually one of the best Fiyeros I've ever seen, and I've seen my fair share of them with the amount of times I've seen the show. David's predecessor, Bradley Jaden, was a pretty good Fiyero, but I don't actually know how often he was there, because I saw his understudy back when he was in the show

[@charlottelafford8199]

I love seeing everyone appreciate sophie evans glinda as much as i do (and i love laura pick of course)

[@addieb.2941]

Hi, so I absolutely love the musical Wicked, but I haven't been keeping up with the UK cast that much lately so I am a bit confused because last I checked Alice Fearn was Elphaba and it's on the website as well-so, without being rude, could somebody please answer my questions? I'm kind of confused after reading some of the comments. Thank you so much to those who choose to answer these questions. 1) Who is the *main* Elphaba for the UK right now? 2) Did Alice leave Wicked? *also, i'm going to london in a week (i'll be in france first, leaving on saturday, can't wait!), and i'm pretty sure i'll be seeing wicked there, so whoever the cast is i'll be thrilled to see!*

[@mustavalkoinen9275]

Alice Fearn is main Elphaba until the 20th of July I believe

[@addieb.2941]

mustavalkoinen I looked at their website again and there is going to be a cast change on July 20th

[@pip1278]

Alice was indeed the main Elphaba at the time of this performance but she was on holidays during this week. Laura Pick was her stanby (and now main Elphaba) and so she was on during West End Live :)
