Shoshana Bean Defying Gravity (2005)

Shoshana Bean defying gravity in Wicked on Broadway. January 9th, 2005. This was originally supposed to be Idina's last performance. Glinda is Jennifer Laura Thompson.

it's so impressive to me that there are women out there who literally sing this song every day for months on end and their vocal chords haven't exploded.

[@nasirroper4011]

The “its me “ was SOOOOOOOO EPIC!!!

[@LAUGHINGBUDDHA-dw7km]

Shoshana is a rare true Broadway Beast. So powerful and yet so vulnerable.

[@jealousofmypuddin]

Oh man, this was the clip that made me fall in love with Shoshana Bean more than a decade ago. 💕

SAME

[@Scandisk10]

This remains, to this one day, my favorite defying gravity ever performed.

[@Macrogue65]

What I love about Shoshana is that she has amazing breath control. When it's emotional - you hear her take a breath. When not - it is not there. Love this lady.

[@kaylynrhall]

4:40 looks straight at the camera 😳

[@sniksapap1]

It took me watching this a dozen times before I realized what could her performance better...my volume button. It just wont go up high enough.

[@atolee704]

One of Shoshana's earliest, yet one of her absolute best. 5:02 that high F is on LOCKDOWN. It wasn't going ANYWHERE.

No love for G(a)linda, giving cover? She made a stop to the Wizard's thugs. Then stayed a hostage.
