idina also said this is the point in the show she got most out of breath, as she had to run from one side of the stage, make a substage crossover and all around the pit to get to the NGD lift - this would explain the gasping :)
@Esorassen Before Defying Gravity, to return onto the stage the duo have to make the 'Death Stair Dash' which is shown if you search Nicole Parker Defying Gravity Backstage or similar, and The Wizard and I? No idea!
On the movie subject, I'd want Kristin and Idina to sing "For Good" and the finale, but other than that, I think as long as they cast sensibly, it'll be amazing, because you have to be incredible to be a good Elphie anyway :)
@unidan82 I know right! My dream is to be like her and it's funny... since we both have a great amount things in common, asthma and all. hmm she makes me want to post my Brigadoon performance. ^_ ^ I luvs her!
She should go back into playing elphaba in wicked...i would LOVE to see her in it!! at least the next time this is in utah...or if they make this a movie..then they should have the original cast of wicked in it!!!
This is the stuff! No one beats Idina in No Good Deed. Some Elphies riff too much, and I dislike fancy riffs in Elphie's songs. While riffs are great in concerts and records, in broadway they really get in the way of the acting - it's distracting and sometimes the actors' faces go blank as they concentrate on the notes. Never a good thing. But Idina does it just right - and she has the Tony to prove it. :D
@rashana31 i hope they use annaleigh and stephaniej block. I LOVE idina and kristin, but i heard that idina KILLED her voice doing this, and KRistin doesnt really come across as young in film, unless they work some computer stuff, which they could, but Stephanie/Annaliegh is one of my favorite combos
Idina is my favorite and is the best Elphaba to me!!
I love her doing this song, mostly because she does it with so much emotion and I love her voice!
I can almost sound like her when I sing along.. Almost X3

What kind of breathing problem does she have? I think that she still has a GREAT voice

this is the most wonderful No Good Deed I've ever heard, not only sung by Idina but by all other Elphies.
Idina is definitely THE Elphaba, no one can ever compare to her performances nor come close to

Menzel really sounds like Alanis Morressette, especially in this song and "The Wizard and I". Wow....dream casting for the movie?

I doubt they'd cast anyone who isn't a star, at least for Elphaba.

@unidan82 actually yes she does, that is why it's so amazing how she can sing like she does.

It always kills me what she does from 1:40 to 1:46 (I can feel the character's pain)

I think it's a shame that no videos (with Kristin Chenoweth) are good quality enough to do her justice !
I would have loved to see them both, I feel unfortunate to be French and live in France...

I am loving that Again at the end! It just shows how good she really is!

omg I started crying at that last 'aaaagaaaain"! If I had been there live I would have been a hysterical mess! This is the TRUE Idina! POWERHOUSE!!!
And I love those pics! I've never seen the one on the left before. Are they all from when she was in London?
I envy her full lips and chiselled cheekbones! lol

this is THE Elphaba, no fancy riffs (tho that last Again is quite amazing) just pure emotion. Her, Julia, SJB and carmen are the defining Elphaba's
