Shoshana Bean - Final Defying Gravity on Broadway

[cientaebella]

This was amazing, I cried, her last note was perfect.

[MikeDvh]

Dutch Elphaba is much better!

[Tony1027222]

The riff at the end is SO amazing <3

[KyleKirbyy]

I'm not usually a huge fan of Shoshana cause she riffs a bit more than I like... but this is flat out awesome. Just the right amount- and her powerrr... aaahh

[BOWYERD999555]

Love Shoshana!! But the lift looks really low! Kinda spoils the whole effect :( and it's soooo slow!

[babygurl59033]

best vocals i've hear for defying gravity thus far! Elphie murdered it!

[marypierce1909]

Why is the lift so slow????

[lisambofoh]

I'm not even a huge Shoshana fan, but this is easily one of the best Defying Gravities ever.

[jayru070592]

and Shoshana...FABULOUS!

[jayru070592]

Megan Hilty played Glinda at this show

[antoniocb27]

Regretfully Shos's performance is my least favorite of all. Seems to me she's contrived, maybe singing for herself, and that becomes a distraction taking me away from the SHOW. Nevertheless she is talented and has a good voice. Thank you for sharing !

[SeiPR727]

04:49 The most epic "IT'S MEEE!!" I've heard.

[dottiedots221]

I love as soon as Shoshana hid the last note, everyone went crazy XD

[LudeliaLove]

Gah! I wish I had something to trade. Still, just this video is wonderful to see~ Shoshana is amazing

[ThePhillyParade]

this remains the best defying gravity ever performed

[921144666]

She may have the best "MEEEEEE" lyric out of any Elphaba...just maybe...

[Wagnerlover777]

OHMIGOD. I just managed to be so captivated by the performance that I actually pressed the dislike when I wanted to press the like. WHAT THE FUCK?!

[RuckalltheFules]

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE it when she's like "and NOBODY in all of Oz." The way she emphasizes nobody is just a credit to her skill.

[RuckalltheFules]

9.8

[RuckalltheFules]

This is brilliant! Amazing performance!

[thetwofreaks1]

would you trade ??

[BeYourOwnSuperhero7]

@thetwofreaks1 hey yes i do trade. . . send me a pm with more info : )

[syworld82]

Shoshana's Elphaba had the most depth.. She went from Naive to Vulnerable to Confident to Vulnerable to Truth seeking... And her rendition was so honest to the characters core..

[BlazedHearts]

@syworld82 It also had some of the most riffs.

I LOVE shoshana bean. And I've made comments about just being in awe of her riffs, but there is no denying it took the songs out of their intended feel at times. It's like she "un-acted" with her vocals, so to speak.

[Seyahhsod]

She gets a 6.5

from all the ELPHABAS ive heard

[rentobbesion]

love this performance!

[TheRobotfishy1]

I like how Shoshan shakes her head when she says "its the wizard who should be afraid, of me!"

[RaychulD]

What does it mean when it says the whole show is up for trade? Because I really want the whole show of this because it's amazing but I don't know how to get it :S

[hawaiianwonder65]

one of my favorite elphabas. the other is idina menzel. her and shoshana are seriously the best there'll ever be.

[sam12670]

Oh thanx who is galinda/glinda?

[cdgunzz97]

@sam12670 The Amazing Megan Hilty. God, I love Shoshana so much.

[BeYourOwnSuperhero7]

@sam12670 hey i think currently, Glinda is Katie Rose Clarke, but i'm pretty sure i read somewhere that she is leaving/has left : (

[ProudSpeakerofWhale]

@BeYourOwnSuperhero7 She's finished at the end of September I think, which is a shame because I never got to see her. :(

[Baltodefyinggravity]

@BeYourOwnSuperhero7

She's leaving Friday :'(

[fanofpets]

@BeYourOwnSuperhero7 Nope it is Megan Hilty.

[ProudSpeakerofWhale]

@BeYourOwnSuperhero7 She did leave. Chandra Lee Schwartz plays Glinda now (and I hope soooo bad that I can see the show while she's there!!!!).

[BroadwayJonathan]

@BeYourOwnSuperhero7 Katie Rose Clarke's final performance was September 25...She just returned to the First National Tour on November 15, though. Chandra Lee Schwartz is playing Glinda on Broadway now.

[babygurl59033]

@BeYourOwnSuperhero7 pretty sure Glinda is played by Megan Hilty here.

[fanofpets]

@sam12670 Glinda is played by Megan HIlty.

[fanofpets]

@sam12670 Glinda is played by Megan HIlty.

[BroadwayJonathan]

@sam12670 Megan Hilty is Glinda in this video.

[BeYourOwnSuperhero7]

@sam12670 Teal Wicks is Elphie on broadway atm : )

[sam12670]

Who is currently elphaba on broadway? :)

[tubbystar09]

I just can't get enough of this performance of Defying Gravity. Shoshana has earned my eternal respect. Those trills at the end require such support and pitch control and furthermore hers and megans harmonies are flawless which is rare. A true singer in every sense of the word.

[mynameisemmashesabby]

better than idina... just my opionion

[Mamacita861]

I LOVE that woman!! I wish there was a recording of her version somewhere.

[Briaaah]

I love how she makes it her own :)

[Elphaba88]

makes me cry everytime shoshana sings

[fobo1o]

Shoshana is my superhero <3

[ProudSpeakerofWhale]

I like Megan's "Sweet Oz!" She never wastes a line. :)

But yeah, Sho's amazing--need I even say it? All-time best Elphaba in my opinion.

[TakeAMessageBack]

I bet this was the best show of Wicked to be at!

[TakeAMessageBack]

Shoshana is just exceptional!

[93Jewell]

I like her more than Idina. WOW And I love her vicious movements.

[93Jewell]

I like her more than Idina. WOW

[thekimmydoo]

i liked her first me down :)

[TheClaireAlexandra]

what date was this?!

[BeYourOwnSuperhero7]

@TheClaireAlexandra it was January 8 2006 : )

[TheClaireAlexandra]

@BeYourOwnSuperhero7 thanks!!!!!!!

[BlazedHearts]

I'm flying high, DEFYYYYYYYYYING GRAVITY"

[itsrandy2468]

If she comes backs.... I think there's a HUGE chance. I'm going to EVERY show. She is just so amazing. No words. 

[BeYourOwnSuperhero7]

@NoGoodDeedWilliDo11 uploaded : )

[NoGoodDeedWilliDo11]

Can you upload their last for good together?

[TradesOnBroadway]

This was Wicked in it's prime. <3

[Elphaba88]

@TradesOnBroadway so so true!

I wish they would release a BEST of Elphaba album with Idina, Stephanie, Eden and Shoshana!
