  • This isn’t a clear as day audio, but I would say it’s the best one you can find. The other ones do have a slight muffled tone to them and this one it’s not perfect but you can hear it a lot stronger.
    OLC Wicked Last Defying Gravity
    Starring
    Idina Menzel - Elphaba
    Helen Dallimore - Glinda
    Miriam Margoyles - Madam Morrible

    I REALLY wish Kristin had joined Idina onstage in London for this performance. It would have been SUBLIME, and more epic than it is already. 💚🖤
    This is STILL one of the BEST final DG performances of ANY Elphaba ANYWHERE in the 🌍.
    And people can dispute it with me ALL THEY WANT, but I'm a trained singer myself, and I CLEARLY hear her sing: "So, if you care to find me, look to the West End Sky!."
    Which is FREAKING F'ING BRILLIANT & I 💚🖤 it! 🤘

      Me too! It’s stunning. I think only really Idina and Rachel Tucker can hit that deserves riff properly.

    When people say Idina was a bad Elphaba, I'll refer them to both this and the 31/10/2006 recording. Also the san Francisco HQ recordings. Also the partial no fly recordings. I mean, my list could go on and on and on. Because she was a perfect Elphaba

    The London orchestra should be the standard for all others. There is something magical about her even today.

      The London Orchestra is AH-MAHZING! 💚🖤
      They supported Idina's final performance BEAUTIFULLY. I mean, this really is a STUNNING performance of both Performer and Orchestra. It's SUBLIME.
      Seeing this live must have been ABSOLUTELY ASTOUNDING! This also should have been the OLC Album Recording.

      @thomas965o  2 года назад +6

      Yes and no. I’ve heard from a reliable source that there is unfortunately no video at all. However, there was one video posted a couple months back that was seemingly her last dg - the audio was pretty distorted but it matched. I’ve heard this video was just an older clip of Idina, but this is really the only version of last video dg
