[@ValtronW]

You mean the audience stayed quiet and actually LISTENED to the performance instead of screaming their head's off?! WOW, WHAT A CONCEPT!

[@bradenmills624]

Dang. That "in renown" was on point!

[@katysdraft8588]

Braden Mills I know right

[@MirkaKaroliina]

6:51 :'( and that last note! omg she's perfect♥

[@bethanymcaulay1439]

She's even better live. I hope she comes back to the WE or Broadway. Willemijn is 100% the best Elphaba!

[@roosvanbommel4737]

Step 1: Lay down and try not to cry Step 2: Cry a lot

[@sheismymom]

If I had my way she'd be Elphaba in the movie but that is some really wishful thinking on my part.

[@hawktalon7890]

One of the few Elphabas whose voice makes me instantly cry, haha. Not a bad thing, certainly.

[@cashamusho]

That.Last.Fucking.Note. I LOVE this woman!!!! She is absolutely perfect!!

[@luciahuang4231]

IKR!!!!!

[@swiftypride123]

I can't believe it's already been a year. Miss Willphaba, but this crazy talented woman has many great things ahead of her. Can't wait for her to be a part of Tarzan!

[@sweetnessboy1]

Oh my god the end note... I started to cry.

[@MRynbout]

Thank you, thank you. So grateful that you put this up to preserve a very special memory of a very special night. Willemijn put her heart and soul into singing this - you can hear her emotion in every note. That riff! Left us all stunned!

[@2theleft2theleft]

She did the same riff when I went to the Dutch version of wicked. So amazing!!!

[@glitterandcheese]

[@madelon344]

Do you maybe also have "No Good Deed"? And @David: Willemijn is leaving due to a back injury witch she needs an operation for.

[@georgechlada4868]

Can she like do wicked from a hospital bed?! God just cute her back it will make so many people so much happier!

[@bradenmills624]

Haha! And for this scene, they just tilt the bed forward.

[@tallmanburns]

***** She left Wicked because she's had serious back problems for the last few months, and couldn't carry the role on because she's going to be having surgery :(

[@luciahuang4231]

Me when I suddenly saw this comment: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@georgechlada4868]

Can you help me find a defying gravity video where at the end some ensemble member does the final note weird?

[@teamemmahatton9049]

I know what you're talking about, search Kerry Ellis Defying Gravity recordings from August to October, may be 21st August or one of the early September ones?

[@zdenle]

Where can I get the full audio?

[@wanderingfandoms]

Can I have the full audio please? :)

[@AlwaysKeepingCool2]

@tysonjay .....real classy.....what're you 12?

[@Rivkress]

I thought willemijn's last preformance was on May 26th?

[@leton2096]

That was on broadway 2013 :)

[@melissagola3786]

Anyone know who's Galinda in this?

[@Dan-pv7cu]

Savannah Stevenson :)

[@dylanjongen2790]

Full audio?

[@mostlyme9828]

Dylan I've just sent it to you. I'm sending this to anyone who asks rather than trading it, because I know Willemijn has fans all over the world who would have loved to have been there for her last show but couldn't be, and I'd like everyone to be able to experience her last show in some way, even if it's just through an audio, and even if they don't have anything to trade :)

[@dylanjongen2790]

MostlyMe okay can jou send it to me?

[@mostlyme9828]

Dylan Jongen I thought I did already, but I just sent it again - it should be in your KZbin messages!

[@Scandisk10]

MostlyMe I am interested in this audio as well! :)

[@johanvanruijven]

MostlyMe I'm also very interested in the audio. I would have seen her live if she didn't stop early :(
