Aside from the fact that I am utterly in love with Wicked (which is why I’m releasing it near it’s 11th anniversary), this video is a 100,00 subscriber “thank you” video. This is the only way I know how to express my gratitude. I really appreciate the love and support. I’ve been working on this video for what seems like forever, and I hope that you guys enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it. Many thanks to the people that assisted me in the making of this video, especially Anthony Rodriguez. I’ll be posting a behind the scenes video soon and some makeup tutorials of your favorite characters, so make sure to check back in the next couple weeks.
Please if you liked the video, share it with someone you think might enjoy it too!
xoxo,
Heather
Love love love love LOVE!!!
im a viewer of you aswell lou! i love you xxx
Louise!!!
Oh wow Lou I didn't know you watched her! She's such a talent and I'm glad we share the same music taste too!!!!!!
AAHHH SPRINKLE OF GLITTERR
AHHH Louise! 😘
You probly have the biggest range out of the popular singing on RUclips your so incredible. I wish someone would do a vocal range video of you because I have been wondering for years
That would be cool to see if someone made that!
Alex Falgout check out Nick Pitera. He has a HUGE range.
Dead Yeti Productions That's what I was just about to say! Nick Pitera is AMAZING!
Alex Falgout mitch grassi
Alex Falgout Whole Peter Hollens doesn't have the range, his music is pretty good too.
BRAVO!!! A TOUR DE FORCE! ONE FOR THE AGES!!
Thank you so much, Buck!!
heathertraska j'ai me
heathertraska Now didja make the costumes ta look EXACTLY like the musical or close?
It's the coolest thing when a performer can sing both G(a)linda's and Elphaba' s parts flawlessly. Seriously, this video deserves a Tony.
i love how creative you are ... beautiful job my friend !
Thanks, Scott. You're the best!
I love your voice! Can you do a meldey of Les Miserables?
Hey Heather Traska,
You are really good at opera. And how do you know all the lines? Did you watch the musical? Or do you just know the words?
Sincerely,
HollyHills23
P.S. Please Reply!!! 😀
WHY AREN'T YOU ON BROADWAY?!?! You're so fantastic
Broadway/west end mainly depends on acting. For example: there are two people who audition, one is good at acting and good at singing, and the other is not great at acting but amazing at singing, the first person will be chosen for the part.
With her voice type it's best that she stay with RUclips or sign with a label sometime. Not saying she's bad, she's wonderful but Broadway requires not only singing talent but acting as well, and there's a different way you should sing in a musical than casually singing a song.
+Katie Tucker I know what you mean. However, I think she would do well giving it a shot because it takes more than just singing a song, you have to give the song life and act like your character to portray the message best. She does that very well. Especially since this is her passion she probably is quite good at acting.
no
I'm confused about you guys saying she can't act. How do you know that she can't act? Have you seen her in a play? I haven't so I'm not trying to be rude, but if you have seen her act, that's cool, but you shouldn't assume things.
This is beyond everything.....I mean. The singing, the costumes, the everything?!
LET ME LOVE YOU D: ! ♥
my 2years old son always falls asleep with this... incredible!!! music plays, he stops crying and closes his eyes... it means relax to me!!! thanks a lot!!!!!
That is so adorable!! You're welcome. ❤️
Considering you did this all by yourself (all of the costumes, make-up, vocals, editing, etc.), it is certainly one of the best Wicked medleys on RUclips. The acting is also very impressive, even though the songs are the focus.
No words can describe this. It's so amazing. I've got a suggestion for your next a Capella a Team Starkid melody. It would be so totally awesome xxx
Totally agree!!!
Yassss
Yes yes yes so much yes!!!!
yeah! please!!!
Thanks ***** x
YOUR AAHHH NOTE IN DEFYING GRAVITY GIVES ME LIFE
Have you ever heard of Heathers The Musical?
If you haven't, it's got kickass and risqué female songs with lots of riffing and belting.
Aside from the name, the songs would perfectly fit your range!
If you made a Heathers Medley, it'd no doubt be beautiful (pun absolutely intended)
Krista Masucci yes Heathers
The note at the end of "Defying Gravity" gave me chills... Please keep making more medleys because I absolutely love everything about your videos!
I got chills during "Defying Gravity"
DO THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
Yes you really should
yea you should do the phantom of the opera
OMG PLEEEEEEAAASSSSEEEEEE THAT WOULD BE AMAZING!!
oh gosh please yes!!!!!
YES YES YES
Congratulations on finishing this project Heather. You can really see how much effort you put into it. My favorite part was "Couldn't Be Happier" - really well done. I felt the emotions as if they were my own in that sequence.
Kindness is the best accessory,
Rebecca
Wicked!!!!
Oh. My. Heather did an amazing job!!! Love her voice!!! Love the harmonies. I love it all!!!
This is fantastic Heather. So proud of you
Did this make anyone else cry? It started with "Couldn't Be Happier" and just continued. Especially when "For Good" came on. Bravo!
This is the second time I've watched this and it's still breathtakingly amazing. I appreciate the attention and time you put in with "I Couldn't Be Happier" because it's in my opinion the most underrated song in the musical and one of my favorites because it has so many layers that you conveyed so beautifully here. Also I love how your voice has improved over the years since your first Disney Medley (the video that introduced me to your channel). I think 'improved' isn't quite the right word as you've always had beautiful and powerful voice, but it's matured so nicely and WHY ARE YOU NOT ON BROADWAY??? WHY DO YOU NOT HAVE A RECORD DEAL??? WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A MILLION SUBS? The hard work, effort, talent and creativity you put into your videos, especially your medley's like this one puts 98% of youtubers to shame.
Couldn't be Happier is my one of my favourite songs. I agree with you way too underrated.
I SO AGREE WITH YOU!! She is wayyyyy too underrated.
I will personally go, slap the fuck out of the producers of Wicked for not hiring Heather, then force them to hire Heather.
It's actually called thank goodness but I totally agree!
Watching this again for the umpteenth time and it still just as breathtaking as it was when I first watched it. You're hands down my ideal casting choice for Elphie in the new "Wicked" movie. Are you on Broadway yet? You should be. And it's a shame that you don't have millions of subs, because you definitely deserve it for not only your amazing talent but also the work you put into this channel.
Your defying gravity part gave me chills
I know right. I got goose bumps.
you honestly should have auditioned for Wicked!!! you have such an amazing vocal range and could do literally any part in the show
The effort that must go into these is amazing! The costumes, makeup, transposing, singing, and editing would be wayyyy too much for me! Keep up the amazing work!
These videos need more recognition, especially for all the work and effort put into them.
I've listened to this more than a dozen times, and I've never truly just watched it...the acting in general is wonderful. She can sing, act, and put together amazing makeup designs!
MASTERPIECE, PERFECTION.
I've just realised how much I'd love to see you do a Dr Horrible cover, maybe a My Eyes duet...
Also, happy birthday!
Pretty please? Dr. Horrible seems a silly idea at first, but truly is powerful with some awesome tunes.
The detail on these costumes is insane, they're so faithful to the ones used in the show it's incredible 😍
WHY HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS VIDEO BEFORE!!! This was INCREDIBLE! I can't believe you equally good as both Glinda and Elphaba 😍 Defying gravity is the best cover I've ever heard, and even like it better than some of the actresses who have played Elphaba. And your such a good actor! I got chills during For Good, and the ending bit was amazing!
Zoe Marris I said I liked it better than some of the actresses who have played her, not everyone 😊 Still like Idina Menzel better 😉
Maria E. Remberg i also like İdina menzel better but she is amazing
You deserve an insane amount of credit for this, it's truly incredible. I can't believe that this took one year to complete. Keep it up, your voice is truly special.
Hamilton or Phantom of the Opera would be awesome!
i swear every time i hear you sing "happy is what happens when all your dreams come true...well isn't it?" with those gorgeous harmonies in the background i get teary eyed. i have no idea why.
I am BLOWN AWAY! I hope you’re on broadway one day!
I"M FREAKING OUT OVER THIS!! Well done Heather!!!
Yes!
I love your voice, your style and most of all, your ACTING :) That is something missing in many youtube videos. You are a blast to watch!
You nearly made me cry on "We couldn't be happier"!
"Defying Gravity" was so powerful !! As well as "No good deed"!
And you're so beautiful !!! And your editing is wondeful ! And you're a model for me!
Brava! Wicked it my favorite Broadway musical and you absolutely NAILED it!
Ally Del Rey same
Please do the full version of what is this feeling!!!!
OK so this is BY FAR my absolute favorite WICKED medley EVER since I first saw it several years ago. Your singing, makeup (THE EYE MAKEUP ON THAT ONE CHORAL CHARACTER? AMAZING!), costuming, ACTING!!!! "Thank Goodness" just after the intermission is my absolute favorite part to sing along to because it's just so full of complicated emotions and I love it and you capture it so well! And I can't possibly forget the video editing and how freaking spectacularly it just melds with the heart of the songs, etc. Heather, you're a real treasure and I hope you know that.
You are the best singer on all of RUclips! No joke. Your medley was beautifully created and funny and I can't even imagine how hard it was to get all the costumes and makeup and choreograph every "heather" to harmonize PERFECTLY.
WOW! You are one gorgeous Elphie! This is hands down my favorite musical and I'm very critical about the performers who sing it. Only the truly greatest of Broadway singers have given me chills, and honey not only did you give me chills I was crying just as hard at the end of this as I do at the end of the show! Bravo!
Chills from beginning to end. With tears. This was phenomenal. I've been looking forward to this since you first announced it, and since this is my favorite musical of all time I was extremely excited and you did not disappoint. No, you totally exceeded my already high expectations. You NAILED it girl! That was AMAZING!!
🎂🎆🎇🎉🎶 Happy 11th Anniversary, Wicked! And Congratulations for 100,000 Subscribers!!!🎂🎆🎇🎉🎶
Heh, this is the first time I've seen facial expressions for any of these songs. I've only ever heard vocals, so the emotion came in extremely strong. Very powerful. I didn't need my heart anyway.
I don't know what I'm more impressed with..the talented singing or the dedication to all those costumes and makeup designs!
This was absolutely brilliant!! I'd love to see you do my favourite musical 'Rent'! ❤
The sheer amount of care, passion, and effort put into this video is breathtaking. I am at a loss for words. Simply Beautiful.
This is legit quality work! Why doesn't this have more views?!
That "DONT....they were popular" part was hilarious. Amazing
Wow that is one of the best deifying gravity covers I've ever seen!! Wow ur range is truly amazing!!
Her voice is so amazing, it brought tears to my eyes
My god your singing through "No good deed" Gave me chills.. Keep it up!
this is my fave musical next to phantom of the opera.....i am in love!!!!
The amount of work that goes into these videos is astounding, you have such a beautiful voice also xx
I have to admit I've never seen Wicked. Now I can't say that I'd ever want to unless the singing, makeup and costumes were as good as this. I literally mean if someone says, "You have to see this production of Wicked, it's SO GOOD!" I say "Yeah, but is it Heather Traska good?" You are the most talented woman on youtube!
Could you do Hamilton, Les Mis, and the Heathers??
Lexi Lou yesssssss 😍😍
Les mis yessss
This. Is. Amazing! Heather, I'm so delighted, that you just covered my favourite musical of all time~ So beautiful, well done :)
Please do a Medley of a nightmare before christmas
Omg that would be so awesome. Her makeup options!!!! And songs!! Omg yes!!!!
I totally agree
Yes omfg please
That would be amazing!
+Alexandra Robichaud yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
Oh my sweet goodness... this made me cry. I didn't even cry when I saw Wicked in Lindon, but your amazing voice brought tears to my eyes. Truly amazing. Thank you.
This may sound weird, but green makeup suits you so well
There is some SERIOUS talent on RUclips. This young lady is no exception! Wow!
you've got to be kidding me. that was incredible
you.are.so.AMAZING...like I think you're one of THE most talented people out there! your voice is waaayyyyy better than even Beyonce! I'm so serious! you can do pop,jazz,broadway, your voice part sounds like it reaches from tenor all the way to the highest of soprano AND you can whistle tone!!!! im am so amazed to the point of tears! I hope you are still singing out there, your talent is truly rare!!!!
Any chance you could do a Legally Blonde the Musical medley? I can only imagine you would blow us out of the water!
I am glad that I have found your channel, you are extremely talented! I found your channel while searching for acapella singers.. I especially enjoyed your history of girl groups video..
The music backing is so amazing! This video is insane!
OH MY GOSH!! Every time I hear you sing Defy Gravity I start to tear up!! My mom caught me crying because of your voice!! You have SOOOO MUCH TALENT!!! I can't get enough of you!!!
This got me into Wicked
Zoe Marris ikr its amazing songs are amazing and the story is amazing
In the end of For Good, before the camera changes, there was a tear, wasn't it? This music always gets to me, and when I saw (i thin i did :P) the tear blurring the eye makeup, i went into tears aswell. Your voice is amazing, thank you for giving us this marvelous work of art.
i saw wicked in broadway, and i really love how your portrayal of the songs match what i remember, but also have a few little twists that don't take away from the original appeal, but have a special little personal feel.
Wow! Not only is she a great vocalist, but her make-up and editing skills are on point! This must have taken forever to put together!
Pleaseeee do a legally blonde medley!!! x
Someone needs to hire you for SOMETHING. Makeup artist, costume designer, voice actress...with your talent, the options are endless! :D
Can you do Phantom of the Opera next? PLEASE?!?!
Omg if she did Phantom, that would be such an incredible video!!
I know right!!
Oh. My. God. I am speechless. That video would be epic. I would watch it everyday for the rest of my life. I... I... I don't even know what I'd do if she made a medley of the phantom of the opera. I don't think I would be able to take it.
DO PHANTOM
I'd totally LOVE it if she did one about Phantom of the Opera!!!!!
Best Elphaba I've ever seen/heard!!!!!!
OH MY GOSH!!! You are an amazing singer!! You should audition for Broadway!
I pay to see Wicked with her in a leading role
4:32 SLAYED IT 💜
What if Heather and Nick Pitera worked together on a medley???!!!
broadwayjuliet This needs to happen
Yassssssss
Or peter hollens
broadwayjuliet OMFG YASH pleeassseee
I'd spontaneously combust in excitment and joy tbh
I cannot say how many times I have watched this medley. It's too embarrassing. I will however say that I am so glad I found you and your videos, and you my dear girl have been such a joy and inspiration to my world. You inspire me to sing and sing MORE.
Thank you for sharing your talents.
WOW!! Your range is absolutely amazing!!!
You can go up all the way to a whistle tones and back down to alto. You need to try out for a part on Broadway because you would DEFINITELY would make it. ❤️❤️
Oh. My. God. Heather, this was amazing. Words can't even express the awe I'm in right now. I have chills and I was crying by the time you got to 'For Good'. Your voice is GORGEOUS, your range is just incredible, and your facial expressions are fantastic. I really look up to you. As a 14 year old who absolutely LOVES singing and acting, you're one of my idols and I hope to be like you someday
OH MY OZ
heheh i see what you did there ;)
Breathtaking!! Your pronunciation and the way you can capture the characters is simply breathtaking!
Please oh please be Elphaba on Broadway, you would be spectacular!
I think she made a better glinda
Why not go for both?
*****
I agree Glenda seems like a more natural range
Yes indeed I see her as glinda
But yet she looks good in green.....hmmmm
my ears are BLESSED
This is gorgeous! Definitely worth the wait :)
I can't get over how amazing this is! I'm pretty sure I've watched this nearly a 100 times since it came out. I love your voice its amazing!
OH OH! DO HAMILTON! DO HAMILTON!
YES
YES I'LL SELL MY SISTER LMAO
YES PLEASE I NEED TO HAVE HER DO BURN PLEASE
THIS SO MUCH I really hope she reads this ahaha can't wait listen to her doing the harmonies in Wait for It
OMF YESSSS
If some times there's some very small imperfection, they simply makes your work more autentic: I've been so touched, I love Wicked and you're fantastic! Not only performing: the way you arranged it, the way you put it togheter, the way you sing it is spectacular! Cheers from Italy!
your voice never ceases to amaze me 😩 so blessed to have such a beautiful voice 💕 and to top it all of you covered my all time favourite musical so this makes this video my absolute dream 😻
I actually cried, this is so amazing Heather, you've come a long way. Looking forward to more medley's and amazing works of art and music like this !!
This is a really nerdy thing to say whoops.
I really really really love that during What Is This Feeling you dressed up as both Boq and Nessa and throughout the whole thing you got several different ensemble characters.
And then you got Dorothy and her little trio of merry men.
/And damn son, your Fiyero -- what little we saw of him -- was awesome./
Idk but that just made me really happy. :33
Sounded beautiful and I had many an emotion.~
Beautiful woman, beautiful play, beautiful voice!!! Love you Heather
Wow your voice is amazing.
God, this was amazing to actually go and see in the west end. I don't think anything beats it.
Being honest here i was insanely excited for this video and could not WAIT to see how it turned out, as i love you and Wicked and you bought out my love for Take Me Or Leave Me, but I'm not too sure if the acapella instruments were not right or a bit too loud but there was just something about them and your voice mixing together not being too great for me, also you spelt it "Behond the scenes" not sure if someone has already pointed it out or if you have noticed but just letting you know :)
But still a lot of effort went into this and the costumes so well done and thank you for doing it!
Very beautiful and epic singing. Love the choral backing.
My roommate
Glinda: *i don't understand anything xD*
Elphaba: Blonde
unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Defying Gravity gave me goosebumps, so beautiful!!!!!!!
