Did I just spend over 19 minutes listening to the same part over and over again and not get bored for one single second? You bet!! No shame in it at all

She originated the role in the 2007 German production then later in the Dutch production. I'm not quite sure why she's included on Broadway here but neither in Germany nor in the Netherlands, considering Danna Paola in Spanish was included. The West End actresses don't seem to be included either; in which case Willemijn would also appear at least once. [The only language other than English included here is Spanish, and only once for Danna Paola: it seems that she's an exception...] ~also Willemijn can hold 17 seconds but I am entirely biased towards her~
@@xhkxcI don't share that freely online. But I thought it worth pointing out, especially for Willemijn, that they did it in other languages than English, which is obviously prevalent in this video. I don't particularly mind Danna Paola, but I thought it interesting that the creator included only one person in a language other than English. For Willemijn I'm just generally a fan of hers, so I added a few notes...
Danna's excited hops were too cute. She didn't do it here, but willemijn started doing 'with me..... feeling things i've never felt' in one breath in her london runs. That takes the cake for the technique.
Not only the compilation is well done, but the chronical order is so interesting and gives an interesting impression of this songs development by the interpretations! Thank you
wicked national tour was my first broadway show i’ve ever seen, and mary kate morrissey was the first time i’ve ever heard this song, and she’s still one of my favorites
I absolutely LOVE MKM's. Something about it just makes it stand out of all of the rest. She just sounds so genuinely happy, and she sounds AMAZING. MKM is definitely one of my favorite Elphabas.
Say what you want about Idina's technique, but she's the only one who doesn't breathe between" meeeee "and " and I'll stand next to the wizard.." That is incredible breath control and phrasing.
