Wicked 20 curtain call with Idina Menzel & Kristin Chenoweth (10/30/2023)

[@ReenyJW]

So I saw this in previews 20+ years ago with my mom. It is my most fond memories. Mom and I had no idea what to expect. We saw the show for $65 in orchestra. I remember at the Act 1 finale just sitting there with my mouth wide open at Idina singing Defying Gravity! I have loved the show ever since!

[@doyouhearthepeoplesing2]

And then you heard a proper Elphie sing it and realised how BAD Idina is

[@brackthomasfischer6139]

⁠@@doyouhearthepeoplesing2Girl Idina was the original Elphie for a reason!! She’s the voice of Elsa, played Nancy in Enchanted and is a world renowned Broadway and film actor! Let’s not be delusional now just because you don’t like her lol!

[@doyouhearthepeoplesing2]

@brackthomasfischer6139 all of that was done in a recording studio with tonnes of autotune lol and actually she wasn't the original Elphaba that would be the legend that is Margaret Hammelton if you are going to be that picky also just because something is " original " don't mean it is the best

[@brackthomasfischer6139]

@@doyouhearthepeoplesing2 She was the original Elphaba on Broadway! Margaret Hamilton played The Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz (Which is my favorite movie!) Despite Elphie becoming The Wicked Witch of the West her character from the 1939 movie and the original book by L. Frank Baum couldn’t be more different! Also I’m a performer in musical theatre and I didn’t hear any auto tune in her voice in any of her recordings for Wicked, Frozen and Disenchanted! Also I’ve seen bootlegs of Wicked and she was amazing! Of course I’ve seen some of her off performances as well but everyone has off performances.

Ugly cry commence! I was in the last row of the Gershwin on October 30, 2003 and my life was so profoundly changed for good. Thank you so much for sharing this and rekindling the emotions I felt twenty years ago!

My boss just saw Wicked at the Gershwin last week; still playing there 20 some years later!

So heartwarmed to hear the recognition of Gregory Maguire, I was a longtime fan of his long before this amazing show existed.

[@broadwaymike92]

WOW, 20 years of a masterpiece that continues to inspire people in the way on how we see the world today as underdogs and standing for what is right. WICKED has been a huge part of me growing up and figuring out what I wanted in life. Lucky to have witnessed it 4 times on Broadway...... Going back for my 5th time on 3/5.... the first night of the new cast change..... Mary Kate Morrissey, Alexandra Socha, Brad Oscar, Donna McKechnie, and Natalie Ortega who are going to SLAY!!!! As an actor, it's still the goal and the dream to one day be part of this SWANKIFIED cast telling this story 8 times a week both at The Gershwin and on the road. "Boq" is my main persistence dream role. Not giving up!!!

[@nynave300]

I really hope you get it one day!

[@gadger99]

Seen this in London 3 times, it's just amazing, can't wait to go a 4th time. 👏👏👏👏👏👌
