Defying Gravity (Idina Menzel - Wicked - Pre-Broadway Tryout - 2003/06/28) 

She made a perfect "look to the western sky" and an amazing ending of the second "bring me down". Idina was definitely the best Elphaba.

Woaaa! That first "me down" was so powerful! The best I´ve heard from her in Wicked

I love her second bring me down

@SwayingAndSweeping She actually did do the "solo" riff in many of her performances, all throughout the length of her Broadway run. She also did it about 90 percent of the time in London too. I guess it just depended on her mood/energy.

What a powerful 'look' !! She's so perfect!!

she did the second bring me down riff often on broadway...i belive there are some audios of her doing it

rjendo the Curran holds 1,667 people so at least that many

This is AMAZING!!!!!

@degeorgetitanic Yeah, she kept that riff during the Broadway run, but cut it shortly after the show opened. I guess it proved to be way too difficult to perform 8 times a week.

How many people were in the audience at that tryout?
