This thought just occurred to me, but it's brilliant that in this scene, Galinda says Fiyero doesn't know yet that they're gonna get married and that's exactly what happens in Thank Goodness: Fiyero didn't know they were going to get married.
well its more the fact that it was her last performance its a sort of tradition for the three big leads (elphaba, glinda, fiyero) to go all out with their performances. they all do a bit more improv and you see them doing opt ups in their songs that their not technically allowed to do but its their last performance so who’s stopping them
I don’t know, I saw it last night and it was very funny, and seemed quite a bit improv-y to me. It’s so cool though to see the differences in each performance.
Just saw her Oct 2023 in Sweeney Todd! Incredible comedic timing, just the horniest Mrs Lovett 😂 She's so talented and knows how to milk an audience for laughs!!!
im so jealous. i waited at the stage door for an hour before realizing there was another show and the actors werent coming out. i wanted her, josh and gatens autographs so bad
I saw Annaleigh is Glinda in Chicago and walked out of the theatre crying for Glinda and not really caring about Elphaba. She is the Glinda by which I measure all other Glindas
The way she gets off the bed at 0:19 😂 The inability to understand personal space at 1:30 😂 The "I have misjudged" walk back at 3:34 😂 Whatever the hell that sound was at 5:03 😂 "On their own behalf 👄 to 👄 think 👄 of...." 5:11 😂 Annaleigh, what is happening? 6:11 😂 AnnaleighAshford.exe has stopped working 6:24 😂 More chaos incoming in 3, 2, 1... 6:50 😂 And I think that's the move that hooked Fiyero 7:43 😂 YEEEEEEEEEEET (NB, what's funnier? A stagehand catching it or a sudden Wiley Coyote scream from stage left?) 8:27 😂 And ladies and gentlemen, here's a moment that brings incredible depth to a hilarious character. "No, you're going to LOOK at yourself and you're going to see what I see." 😭 Helllllllllllllllllllllllllo 9:17 😂 BIG FINISH 9:57
Have to admit I wasn't a huge fan of Annaleigh's Glinda for much of her run BUT I can't help but be bizarrely (and unjustly) proud of how her career has grown since these days. Cannot wait to see what is next for her.
Wicked seemed to be what catapulted her career, she was an understudy on the 1NT from 2005-6 and performed opposite Julia. She’s obviously been in Rent, Kinky Boots and also has plenty of TV credits to her name too. I agree she’s not everyone’s cup of tea as Glinda but she must have done something right. She's very successful now! And like you said, so proud of her. You can see the growth in every show she did. ❤
@@AlexHurleyMusic (for what it's worth, she also performed opposite Victoria Matlock and probably Maria Eberline on the 1NT; on Braodway, opposite Stephanie J. Block, Lisa Brescia, & Chelsea Krombach; in Chicago, opposite Lisa Brescia, Jennifer DiNoia, Vicki Noon, & Dee Roscioli.)
Not even close. But at the same time, every cast replacement is going to be compared to the original, especially when it’s the same production, staged in the same way. I saw Kristin Chenoweth and the OBC in Wicked a week before it opened, and to be honest, I rather like this performance better. Feels more playful, less forced.
she did the absolute most. her comedic timing is so wild, i can't wait to see her in sweeney todd
Saw it on April 1st and it was spec-mothafuckin-tacular. She is sensational, very Tony worthy.
@@RonnieStewartJr she was so robbed
I saw her back in June, and she was amazing! She really was robbed of that Tony!
@@RonnieStewartJr I saw her in Sweeney Todd in January she was incredible
I kept expecting her to teach Elphaba the bend and snap. XD
i absolutely love annaleigh. she was amazing as mrs lovett (i could not stop laughing) and shes hilarious here. i rly need to look at more of her work
Her “Don’t, theywerepopular please” was honestly the best way I’ve heard it done😭😭
This thought just occurred to me, but it's brilliant that in this scene, Galinda says Fiyero doesn't know yet that they're gonna get married and that's exactly what happens in Thank Goodness: Fiyero didn't know they were going to get married.
How did I never notice that????
Back in the days when they had the freedom to do way more inprov in popular

Yep riffing like they can’t be fired 😂

ANNALEIGH SLAIDDDDD AS MRS LOVETT AND THISSSS
Just saw her Oct 2023 in Sweeney Todd! Incredible comedic timing, just the horniest Mrs Lovett 😂 She's so talented and knows how to milk an audience for laughs!!!
She is just amazing- beyond glad I got to see her in Sweeney Todd and get an autographed playbill
im so jealous. i waited at the stage door for an hour before realizing there was another show and the actors werent coming out. i wanted her, josh and gatens autographs so bad
Very cool. I'd love to see her in any material. She's made amazing choices. SITPWG. ❤

her jumps and kicks are insaneeeee, i'm so impressed
Had the pleasure of seeing her in Chicago. She remains the best GA-linda I've ever seen in person by a country mile. (4 different staging's)

I saw her in Sweeney Todd recently--she's so good!
this is the best version of popular wow
The best of her generation. PERIOD. I’ll die on that hill.
Annaleigh is awesome

It’s a bit “Miranda Sings” but she really made the role of Glinda her own: I loved it!
She’s fantastic. Her Mrs Lovett and Dot/Marie were both incredible.
HOW DID I NOT ONOE SHE PLAYED GLINDA I LOVE ANNALEIGH ASHFORD
I saw them there in 2008 .. it was AMAZING!!!!! 🎉🤔💙
the elphaba laughing during the splits scene had me crackin up
8:30 I hope they make this a moment in the film
YeeeSssssss me too
She is on one!!!!!!!
Best Galinda, EVER.
And Annaleigh was even more amazing in Sweeney
This isn’t Glinda this is GAHLINDA
Imagine Natasha Leone as Galinda🤣🤣🤣
Dee looks just like Lissa deGuzman-
Lissa is fantastic
3:55 is the part your prob looking for
Who is that as Elphaba?
0:26 Fiyero and I are going to be married
0:31
I don't care for the musical, but she is great.
Why is it so rushed
This is a knockoff of Kristin’s version.
Not even close. But at the same time, every cast replacement is going to be compared to the original, especially when it’s the same production, staged in the same way. I saw Kristin Chenoweth and the OBC in Wicked a week before it opened, and to be honest, I rather like this performance better. Feels more playful, less forced.
This is better than Kristin’s performance 😭
They are all knockoffs because the blocking is essentially the same. Good grief.
