I went to college with Christine for Music Theatre and the first time I heard her sing I said to myself "That girl is going to be a star!!" I'm so proud of her. And she is such a sweet and wonderful person too.
you prolly dont care but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times you can stream all of the new movies and series on Instaflixxer. I've been watching with my girlfriend for the last few weeks :)
I've had the pleasure and honor of working with and befriending this wonderful, talented human being ❤ she's as beautiful in personality as she is in her art. An absolute goddess with a heart of gold 💖
Speechless ... What an amazing performance. She never fails to bring it & own it. I love how this was filmed and captured on stage , we get to see all her facial expressions and her acting. Something that not many people can see in the actual theatre because they may be sitting too far. I LOVE her growl when she says "look to the western sky" it truly shows the emotion in the song.
Rachel does it so often that you can even hear her in the cover she recorded for her solo album (2013 I think). I don't know who came up with that first though
I have seen Rachel Tucker twice on broadway and have seen several videos of her and never heard a "look" growl. I have just heard her growl after the second "bring me down"
I am a huge Dwyer fan but is no one else noticing how pitchy she was in this performance? She missed several notes throughout it. I've definitely heard her sing this better.
Okay so I met her in a very odd way when I went to New York earlier this year. Here’s a story sisters: My family and I went on a trip to New York and the day after we watched wicked on broadway we went to this very good restaurant that I can’t exactly recall the name of, but it was 2 stories and the upstairs space was being used for a party. People were walking in and going straight upstairs with like instruments and stuff. There was singing and music coming from upstairs and my mom asked what was going on and apparently it was a birthday party. Also the man who owned the restaurant used to do some kind of work on wicked. The guy said we could go up that they wouldn’t mind and he said if we didn’t we’d take us up there (he was a very cool guy I felt weird intruding on this guys birthday tho, but my mom made me because I want to be in musical theater one day and that’s what the whole party was made of) so we go up there and we watched a couple of people preform and then we meet this woman who played alphaba (I’m sorry if I spelled that wrong.) it was Christine Dwyer, and they were celebrating her fiancée’s birthday who I guess was working in the waitress at the time, which was cool. It kind of sucked tho because at the time I had no idea who she was, I just knew she played alphaba at some point and she does broadway. But basically that’s the coolest thing that happened to me even if I didn’t know her at the time. Okay I’m done Thanks for listening to my Ted talk bye.
I had the privilege of seeing her on the 2nd National Tour when they were in Edmonton, Canada ~11 years ago. She stood in for Anne Brummel. Natalie Daradich as Glinda. I was a little disappointed that there were certain tech issues. I remember the lift didn't work for No Good Deed, so she started the "FIYERO!!!!" cry while she was still in the wings and ran on. I'm guessing she had to run all the way back up, Grimmerie in hand. I was extremely impressed how she was able to make it work. Anyone who didn't know how the show was supposed to work must've thought it was intentional.
I assume I'm not the first to make this observation, but what if she were in Phantom? Would it be confusing that her character has (almost) the same name as her?
Elphaba's act 2 costume doesn't have any differences in different replica productions because they're usually made for the actress; each one is different. Kara's bubble dress, crown and necklace were all the Broadway/Tour design (I'm sure she wore it on Broadway as well), so I'm gonna say that Christine's was probably her own.
Each actress has their own costume/fitting , if Christine was to perform they would obviously dress her in her own gown. Now yes different productions may change stuff around. Like how the wands & accessories are different for Glinda in many productions.
"Travel ALL the costume pieces to Germany"? It's just one dress each. They could have easily taken it with them in their suitcase. Why on earth would they want to go through the trouble of getting a costume piece from the German production out of storage (which might not even fit) when they can just bring their own dress?
@@pointone1125 aren't all the costumes from every production stored in NYC? In Felicia Ricci's book she mentioned seeing costumes from multiple productions kept in storage at the costume house.

wow or lucky

@Jayce Sullivan yea, been watching on InstaFlixxer for months myself =)
I absolutely adore that she did the Jennifer DiNoia "Take a message back" riff. It's by far my favorite way to perform that line.
Agreed!
I love her performance it’s better than idina it’s clearer and she won’t ruin her voice by straining it
LOVE that phrasing on "at least I'M flyING free." Sounds good when anyone does it, and especially good from her.

2:30 Amazing. I loved that short growl in "look" . a la Rachel tucker maybe?
And her second "bring me down" made my day
+TheMetfan81 Amazing growl. Actually I haven't heard any audio of Rachel with a growl on "look". For me it's Christine's personal touch since day 1
Rachel does it so often that you can even hear her in the cover she recorded for her solo album (2013 I think). I don't know who came up with that first though

Check her version for her album. It's in youtube. Still, maybe none of them came up with it. Who knows
+Andrés Smith She did it in London for the most part!
got to see her at Ellens and without even knowing, I heard it.... She has that part nailed..!!! met her and was blown away...
I love her "Deserves" riff!
I am a huge Dwyer fan but is no one else noticing how pitchy she was in this performance? She missed several notes throughout it. I've definitely heard her sing this better.
You're not wrong. However, as many runs that she has had with this song, there are bound to be runs that are not as good as others.
Kaylee Harris She was sick during this. :( She kept posting on her Facebook about it
She was AMAZING with this on the Pittsburgh tour. I think the other problem besides her sickness was that she was all by herself.
when she bows, its looks like she's melting
love her riff at 3:05

There’s no lift on tour
The microphone was hidden really well.
I'm going to meet Christine Aug 21 and sing for her !
oh I love this song I can't stop listening to it
CTEEN IS A GODDESS OH MY OZ
I assume I'm not the first to make this observation, but what if she were in Phantom? Would it be confusing that her character has (almost) the same name as her?
IM CRYING YES C-TEEN
Probably my favorite from her!
Wtf ! Amazing
How come Glinda isn’t in this?
wow
She’s AMAZINGG! I’m a huge fan! But does anybody think they have her looking too pretty?
She’s supposed to lol
where does it say elphaba has to be ugly? lmfao doesnt that contradict the whole message?
I missed the old stage setup and the flying part
It's never changed. this was purely a concert performance where they couldn't bring in the cherry picker.
No offense, but she sings it oddly. And she sung it alone so the lyrics changed. And she seems a little behind. The ending was good though. :)
No?
Did anyone see her in waitress??
I saw her at the San Francisco stop. She was amazing and everybody was crying after she used to be mine
I saw her in Ohio and she is so talented and sweet!
*ahem... HOLY. SHIT!
Did they use the costumes from the German productions?
Elphaba's act 2 costume doesn't have any differences in different replica productions because they're usually made for the actress; each one is different. Kara's bubble dress, crown and necklace were all the Broadway/Tour design (I'm sure she wore it on Broadway as well), so I'm gonna say that Christine's was probably her own.
