Yes yes yes and yes. I saw her 3 times. And everytime I saw her I would just…. WEEP at her Defying Gravity. Not just the climax, the ground portion as well. And everytime I just thought “Oh I probably won’t cry this time. I should be used to it by now.” NOPE. Still would weep. Allllll the way into intermission too. I’m sure all the people around thought I was a lunatic.
Agreed, she is phenomenal! But as some one who actually struggles with anxiety and depression I HATE that people say 'this cured me', sorry, but no it didn't. This phrase or meme needs to stop. If a single video 'cured' you then you actually don't have depression and that phrase greatly belittles what me, and so many others, actually go through every day. She's amazing and this is a great video, but please, stop.
Her acting choices and her expressions are just everything, I love that little moment where Ginna Claire gets on the floor next to her. That broom thrust is one of dreams 😍
Ohoo that was amazing!! Beautifully sung, nothing forced or strident, but bloody powerful. Gorgeous acting in the flying machine. Just look at her take off, gorgeous, making it look so smooth and convincing. The singing throughout the flying sequence was a masterclass in how to do this very difficult part. Wonderful!
I was at this performance. There was no announcement of it being their last show. I met them both afterwards. I told MK that her performance changed my life, and I told GC that I hoped to see more of her in the future. Thank you for sharing and allowing me to see this again three years later.
it should be a REQUIREMENT that every new elphaba takes a broom-moving class from Mary Kate Morrissey. The way her movements look so fluid and realistic during the flight scene.... it's actually crazy.
I am so glad I caught these two when I had they chance. Their stage presence and chemistry is something you have to see for yourself. I was lucky enough to see Ginna Claire again at the Gershwin but let me tell you she did not have the same energy as she did with MK. Thank you for uploading this so many of us can relive the excitement!
I always love how the tour lift speed matches the lights. On Broadway the lights go up so much faster than Elphaba and it has always irked me. Like slow the lights or speed up the lift. lol. She sounds incredible. What a great last performance. Would love for her to come back someday. Hopefully on Broadway.
the kiss to GC;s hand at 6:29 destroyed me I'm sobbing so hard. you have no idea. this was the best thing I've heard all week. I started sobbing harder when MKM started flying
You wish has been granted. The past year and a half as a standby but now starting MARCH 5TH, she will be FULLTIME PRINCIPAL ELPHABA ON BROADWAY replacing Alyssa Fox!!!
Might be my all time favorite Defying Gravity. If you followed Munchkinland Tour in 2018-2019 you got to know MK and GC and how their friendship on tour influenced the portrayal of their leading roles. I was planning to be at their final performance and am so glad this video exists!! Is there more from this last show?
Two things... MKM is an *incredible* storyteller-her Elphaba is so believable. And the final broom thrust cured my depression.

mkm is so underrated this was one of the smoothest defying gravity’s i’ve heard
Did anyone else notice MK kissing GC's hand at 6:28 ? 😭 I love their friendship so much

Oh! You are so welcome. It’s one of my favorite parts of doing this. To let people relive their favorite memories (haha) whenever they want :)

This is awesome! I didn’t realize a video existed!

I always love how Madame Morrible thinks her speech will break Elphaba but it makes her stronger and more powerful 💚
As much as I love MKM I adore this conductor. He so good! I can't stop watching him lol
I came here just to say this lol
Omg video of this exists 😭😭
I’m blown away rn this was incredible
Mary Kate is gonna be playing Elphaba full time starting in March
I always love how the tour lift speed matches the lights. On Broadway the lights go up so much faster than Elphaba and it has always irked me. Like slow the lights or speed up the lift. lol. She sounds incredible. What a great last performance. Would love for her to come back someday. Hopefully on Broadway.
you’re so right, usually you see elphaba on the floor and then her in the air whereas you actually see her lift up in this one
She's going to be the next lead Elphaba on Broadway starting next month in March, 2024. 🎉💚🖤
I’m so happy
the kiss to GC;s hand at 6:29 destroyed me
I'm sobbing so hard. you have no idea. this was the best thing I've heard all week. I started sobbing harder when MKM started flying
Wow! So as for stage presence, Donna Vivino is my all time favorite but this performance really made me reconsider!
That glockenspiel went fucking hard in the paint that night.
rofl I thought I was the only one to notice it.
Bring her to BROADWAY
I have a theory she is coming back in March as standby. Just a theory though ;)
She's back!
@@Scandisk10 I saw her tonight and she was PHENOMENAL
You wish has been granted. The past year and a half as a standby but now starting MARCH 5TH, she will be FULLTIME PRINCIPAL ELPHABA ON BROADWAY replacing Alyssa Fox!!!
Ack, I wish we had a full HQ capture of this show
Same… but this is all I could find. Sadly.
