June 4th, 2003, San Fransisco tryouts. The earliest known recording of wicked, and the earliest recording of idina as elphaba! This audio also features some differing lyrics compared to the final song!
Love hearing some of the early lyrics..... "But I'll be too busy to think about that, what with Wizardly duties come and by.....Working side by side.... The Wizard and I..." which later became "And this gift or this curse I have inside. Maybe at last I'll know why...... when we work hand in hand...... The Wizard and I'.
I LOVE This. There is a full wicked soundboard of a table reading with Idina, in which the show is sung through. That would be the first recording of idina, however this is the first performance recorded :))
@ahugewickedfan4292 not really also, I meant to post that as its own comment, but for some reason it posted it as a reply... I miss the old YT mobile UI, bruh, at least it didn't confuse me on whether I'm commenting or replying
