Wicked - West End Live - As long as your mine I

[sunderlandgrl]

I've seen six different Elphaba's live and Alexia Khadime is the only one I haven't actually enjoyed at all. I saw her as Eponine recently and I didn't understand why she had turned Eponine's solo into a soul song. I wish I'd seen her in the Lion King because she probably had the right kind of 'soulful' voice for that musical, but Elphaba is not for her at all. The best Elphaba I've seen is no doubtly Rachel Tucker bearing in mind I've seen Idina Menzel as well. Rachel is just spectacular!

[JMS11375]

Amazing

[PurpleParrotPizza]

This is a really bad recording,I think it's Alexia Khadime.

[BabyBeatz13]

Oli tompsett in those trousers. good god.

[IHrtPocky]

I wish they would have followed the book more, but thats alright, because the musical is still amazing in its own sense. if you separate the two its just one great book and one great musical <3

[lilyspot101]

Rly? Ppl . Thay dont follow the book completly

[derek469321]

ewwwwww fyero's outfit is soooo wrong! ive read the book!

[JBLoveSong]

@derek469321 I think we've all read the book haha AND YOU'RE RIGHT... the outfit is like clashing with Elphaba :L or maybe he thought she could camoflage on him.... hmm :P

[derek469321]

@JBLoveSong lol it just makes me mad that they don't follow the book, he is suppose to be like buff long hair gorgeous with diamonds around his eyes right?

[JBLoveSong]

@derek469321 I think he's supposed to be dark skinned, longish haired and have diamonds on his chest... mmm

[anon0987654]

@JBLoveSong The diamond tattoo design didn't look good on stage and they don't generally have a specific colour you have to be to play a part in musicals

[JBLoveSong]

@anon0987654 I was talking about the book..... We were having a discussion about his outfit being a bit clashy and weird.... So I never said that he should have looked like that in the musical..... BUT I looked at casting requirements for Glinda and you DO have to be Pale skinned and not revoltingly ugly haha

Rude casting agents :P

[anon0987654]

@JBLoveSong Yeah I know and i was saying that they tried the diamonds that were described in the book and they just didn't look right on the stage, and I think thats because the Glinda wigs are all blonde so if you had darker skin the wig wouldn't look right and Glinda is one of the more stereotypical musical theatre roles anyway

Not revoltingly ugly?! lol yeah just a tiny bit rude ;D

[marvinalmodal]

yer if they stood up he would whisk her off her feet straight off.

[wratty]

Alexia Khadime is far better live - though I have to say that even the understudy Ashleigh Gray is better then her.

[Hayley1591]

She will never be as good as Kerry Ellis at the role of elpheba. FACT.

[bezzybecks123]

i highly recomend it and even tho it is in britain it is AMAZING and fiyero is so not boring at all i live in britain and went 2 c it and it was the best day of my life :D

[sexyashley816]

i saw this last night in Denver, it was amazing!

[LiveLaughLoveYAY]

bok0306 she's not THAT bad, but yes, I agree she does sing through her nose. It doesn't sound that flattering, I have to admit. There have been better Elphebas.

[bok0306]

Okay, I usually hate to say stuff like this, and I'll probably be killed for it, but I unashamedly HATE Alexia Khadime, I mean have you LISTENED to her?! I don't think I've ever heard anyone who sings through their nose, but she is DEFINITELY the first one!

[stuipdthing]

Now that you mention it I totally agree

[bobbie406]

iv seen her live and shes not as bad as you think she is

[MichellyMe]

oh stop judging her by this one little video, if you hear her live singing defyign gravity or no good deed, you can hear how fabolous she really is, i mean can you sing better than her?

[Demitje]

oh her name is Alexia Khadime. She did an amazing job! i saw her last week (:

[mandz002]

I think its Lexi (Alexia Khadime)

[Kornwolf91]

is fiyero not supposed to be tall?? i just dont think it matters if hes the tallest

[AlicexDances]

i saw ashleigh, she was amazingg <3

[sammyjigglo]

i saw it on wednesday and alexia switch with ashleigh gray after popular . it was still amazing!!!!!!!!!! going agen and agen and agen !!!!!

[matthewamato]

[brzydallo]

No, she's green xD

[bonjovifan1992]

LOL'

[OasisEnLaLunna]

No, she's green

[ladymess1]

no shes just wearing black

lol

[spottycarrots]

same here (:

[spottycarrots]

Yeah, I thought she was amazing. (: what did you think?

[spottycarrots]

I saw Ashleigh Gray instead of Alexia

[C1O2X3Y]

I think this is Alexia Khadime :) I saw her last year in Wicked and i'm going again on Wednesday!!! ahh so excited XD

[bobbie406]

I saw these two yesterday and they where amazing

alexia's defying gravit was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooo amazing it was a brilliant performance from both of them

[Elphieinthemaking]

Me tooo ;)

I LOVE her! :)

[krazykittymatt]

It's weird cuz Elphie in the show is like you said, 20-25, And thoughts how I think of her, I don't think of the older actresses who play her. But

She is the Wicked Witch of the West, and she is supposed to be an Old Hag!!! IDK, either way I love this chick, she's awesome!!!

[krazykittymatt]

He may be tall, but that dude's got a booty for a white guy!!!

And they are really awesome, fuck what you heard!!! She's on stage so she must be doing something right!!!

[girlrocker999]

yes, and she's amazing live!

[girlrocker999]

I SAW THEM!!! they were amazing!

[coolbean08]

you really need to see her live. the official video for this is much clearer too :)

they have the best on stage chemistry...and she is definately better at acting than kerry! ofc its different here because its not theatre environment...changes are made, like them standing up for the song.

[xtayx001]

i saw ashley grey yesterday, she's amazing, but i was gutted kerry wasn't there as she's jst incredible. xo

[xxEllee]

that happened to me in February. I'm going on Friday though, the night before her last. She better be there or some people WILL be shot! xD"

[dkgilmorejunkie]

yeah...i liked her better as nala in the lion king

[Shorthairandcrazy]

As did I.

Although she sings brilliantly as Nala, and well as Elphaba, I don't think her voice is quite suited to being Elphie.

But then again, this is coming from a diehard Kerry fan.

[pwincessnintendods]

,...I think Kerry is so much more better, i wonder if she'll come back after she leaves

[GJC1995]

I dont think Alexia is all that good. Ollie is awsome! Kerry is awsome!

[carolineisreallycool]

i love her, i think her and oli have such great chemistry. Her voice is so beautiful, and to me, she's better than idina menzel (by miles!) and will be better than kerry ellis once her full run is over.

what is there to say about oli, except that he's so talented, gorgeous, tall and has a pretty amazing bum in those trousers..

[TDIOwenluvIzzy]

was it before Kerry came to london? because Kerry Ellis is much better. well I can know for sure that the guy is Oliver Thompsett. Wicked and spamalot were great! too bad spamalot is no longer preforming in west end!

[kwanyin233]

I saw her last performance in November, and she was amazing. I prefer Kerry and Idina, but Alexia was incredible.

[WickedFreak10111]

I wanna g 2 the west end and see it@

[RaraTheGoodXx]

No where near Kerry's standard, still lovely though.

Oli, wow. =D

xx

[melinaemilymay]

Alexia is amazing - and this is when she only first started! shes coming back in may when kerry leaves! yaaay

[littleshopfan]

yay?

i think not

kerry kicks her bum

[melinaemilymay]

Not literally, and not metaphorically either. Keep your own opinions to yourself - especially when they are not needed.

[twilighter1369]

ugg i dont rlly like her

[bandGeeeK519]

the one ive seen live was shoshana bean and she was amaaazinggg!!

[storybookone]

it was soo good i wanted to see more! too bad theres only a minute of it

[XxXjuliieXxX]

Her name is Alexia Khadime. I think she was really good! Her voice is beautiful. But then again, I haven't seen Kerry or Idina on Broadway, so I've got no one to compare her too... But Fiyero is the best, and he's hot!!

[ssparis89]

Nice job, but it's nearly impossible to replace Ms. Menzel and Mr. Butz. They originated and helped create the roles. They were and always will be, simply, the best. All others (and I have seen quite a few, in the u.s. and the u.k.) pale in comparison. Oh sure, maybe the "newer" leads in "wicked" can hit the high notes and belt a tune or two, but I am looking for more. The inflection, the embracing of character, the raw emotion. The original cast was,and is, the best!!!

[Ronxdraco]

The only real problem I have with Idina Menzel, is that in Defying Gravity she takes all these gasping breaths. It's like she couldn't get the right amount of air. Ever. and I have no real proplem with Leo Norton Butz, I just think Cliffton Hall (Touring Fiyero!) is better. I do however agree that you need the raw talent and passion and emotion to portray charazters as complex and intricate as Elphaba and Fiyero.

[ronsypooie]

he's the best Fiyero i've seen.

[XxKungFuDuckiexX]

I saw this on my birthday on the 18th.

I adored it.

And he was quite fine.

The girls gave him some cheers at the end.

LOL!

[Patataalforno]

Who is she? I don't recognize her...

[Pymmzutube]

alexia khadime :D x

[xIcexIcexBabyx]

Omg I saw in the Apollo Victoria on Friday 25th and they were ALL amazing!

[hsmandzacfan]

i luv this song! and wicked!

[MrsAmeliaPoynter]

i had to watch twice i forgot to listen ollys backside distracted me first time round :p but im not 100% sure about alexia

[heliumalias]

Her name's Alexia

[loonykitten]

Thank you. I'm just crap with names!
