[AngiePeacee18]

doesn't anyone notice eden chewing gum? haha

[biggestChenofan]

@AngiePeacee18 Haha, Sometimes it actually helps they're singing. Lots of people on Broadway do it! :)

[AngiePeacee18]

@biggestChenofan really? damn i have always been told to spit out my gum when singing. lol

[biggestChenofan]

@AngiePeacee18 Lol. I was always told that too, but it makes a difference so I just keep it.

[MLCmoments]

Eden and Idina are just as amazing as each other...but I prefer Eden :') She has more chemistry with Tracie. They're bloody mind blowing together! Love Mia xxx

[graciefoster123]

Tracie's facial expressions are amazing! Eden's voice is over the top in this video. Tracie sounds amazing also! Perfect!

[maddiswhale]

wtf is going on with the band in this? someone forget their music or something??

[BlazedHearts]

@maddiswhale Clearly they wanted to be fired and embarrased by Eden Espinosa and Tracie Thoms all at once. :D

[Timamalao]

[orlieonbroadway]

[JGuar1212]

I sense some drunkeness- didnt have ANYTHING to do with the bottle of wine she was drinking from. Still love them :)

[Matty3Mite3]

@JGuar1212 That was a glass bottle of french spring water lol

[JGuar1212]

[olivianicolexo]

Tracie Thoms is the best JOANNE JEFFERSON ever! I

[Undress01]

I LOVE TRACIE SO MUCH

[LBOSCO4]

i love tracie thoms. she is so talented and absolutely gorgeous!

[jeza25alexa]

Is Tracie Thoms a lesbian?

[littleladyfangz]

@jeza25alexa Nope!

[psychicriver]

They're so good! And beautiful to boot!

[circuitmedic]

lol, bless them, the music was ALL OFF at the bigining and eden tried to straighten it out...

[Ddys2005Grl]

They can sing their asses off! I love it!

[ThisLittleBlackBook]

this is sexxxy

[daangmacy]

Out of all the videos I've seen them perform together,

they sing it the same way everytime. But what can I say!?

They're AMAZING! & Tracie Thoms is the best Joanne EVER!

Ps: Tracie looks sooooooo much younger here then she

does when she performed it on Broadway. But I <3 her! (:

[LaSheefra]

Love how in sync they are...and actually I hated Eden as Elphie, but LOVE her in this :)

Tracie is just legendary :)

[Abbytater]

@LaSheefra Same here!

[XBreezyBooX]

I love how they are like.....drunk haha. best ever

[just4erika]

Idina is the best Maureen then Eden .. She kinda sounds like idina

[oNegLeEk]

eden the best maureen after idina that is

[OldeGold88]

Tracie could get it....shes jus so unaware! lol

[shadowbabe18]

like OMG i love this song!!! tracie and eden make a great duo. i wish we could see them together more often. watching this video i couldnt stop laughing at tracie's expressions while eden was singing. it was so funny!!!

[keedawomen]

is she drinking wine?

[performloveandlive]

I don't like Eden's version of this, but I loved her in Wicked.

[l0os3nup]

Tracie is gorgeous!

[AppointedFate]

squeeeeeeee!

I love these two, my favorite Maureen and Joanne :)

[kiddoswan]

Eden got married yesterday n i hear she may not be going by Espinosa any more whats up with that ;-{

[KDB2009]

@kiddoswan via Eden on Twitter Yes I'm keeping my name for stage purposes!

[mewingkittycat]

The piano was off!! T_T

[sazag]

@mewingkittycat Not just the piano. I think Eden may have come in earlier than they expected but the muscians should have adapted. She coped with it admirably.

[Sharen10]

@mewingkittycat she is keeping Espionsa as her stage name

[HumanElemental]

Oh Tracie is definatley enjoying those ass-grabs! Ah love her though, especially when she does those expressions about Eden's singing.

[emmyxjosaphene]

I love both of these.

Personally, I perfer Eden as Maureen. (:

Tracie is of course the best Joanne alive. (:

Look how beautiful and amazing they both are!

[LetTheDreamBegin]

did anyone else not realize (for the last 2 years!) that Eden Espinosa was the Maureen in the last show on Broadway? I knew there was a reason I liked that Maureen...

[angeleyez101]

Tracie is the best Joanne ever in life itself her voice is OUT OF THIS WORLD

[evanescencerocks24]

i was wondering if you had any of Tracie's other performances that night??

[prosaicpseudonym]

Tracie's face at 4:20 is PRICELESS!

[iiMovie]

tracie is such a pretty woman, why doesn't she look like this in the movie?

[charmedluver2]

Tracie l0v3s kissing girls...l0lz ain't no way in hell she don't...Haha...but htat's fine I think it's HOT!! l0lz But they make a better Joanne and Mauren to me, don't get me wrong I like Idina too but they made it real for me! l0lz nd Everytime I see Tracie preform or a pic of her she got a bottle or a large cup!! l0lz l0v3 her!!

[JyNa93]

i think that idina and eden can't be compared

each one has their style and they're hilarios each one in their own way

i think that is kinda hard to be compared everytime to idina

idina is kind of a goddess for me but i love eden's performances too cuz she has her own style

and that's what makes them different ;)

[imapirate16]

@JyNa93 i agree totally with that, and also people need to realize (especially with wicked) that there is no 'best' or 'worst' elphaba or glinda, b/c every time and actress/actor plays a character, they bring there own kind of persona to it

[theboyfriendtony]

@thisishowwelove thats a wonderful point =) they're different but Eden DOES take it to another level..

[WMCFANICK]

The funniest thing is at like 1:50. Tracie's reaction is hillarious! Eden is amazing!

[newagesoapopera1]

Haha How funnyn is Tracie at 0:47 when she picks up that drink and that but bump at 4:07 was cute! Lol

[d0ggylover21]

i <3 eden!! i'm sad that today was her last wicked show in san francisco. :(

[book021296]

I just saw Tracie's interview on the Late Late Show and I noticed she was wearing the same dress and her hair looked the same so I looked it up, and apparently she did the interview the same night as this! So maybe this was right before she had to leave for the late late show!

[book021296]

Haha I love Tracie's face at 4:20!

Apparently, they're good friends. I love them together and they should do something together either in film or on Broadway!

[FabiolaSyvel]

@book021296 they actually did.. :) they started together in rent in broadway.. right after the movie was released :D

[chocolateapple]

Does anyone know what the girls say at around 0:31 - 0:38 ? These two are way too cute for their own good.

[Sominja]

i think its hard to be compared to Idina all the time.. but Eden is still good..

[newagesoapopera1]

ooh i like idina better..eden is good too but she doesn't sing it like idina..

[2009emilymay]

omg,hot,,very hot

[theboyfriendtony]

lol ya know.. eden is just.. a goddess... i hate the laws of marriage hahaahaha

[theboyfriendtony]

"I take Idina's roles and make them better" Anyone who wants to dispute that. I am a well trained singer and know when someone is beat. Eden has everything Idina has and more, the only thing Idina has on her is her age. Why cant Idina do those crazy riffs like in 1:50 ? Cause she isnt as good. Take it or L-L-L-L-L-L-L-Leave it beotch

[nothingspecial245]

@theboyfriendtony Amen to that lol

[NoOneMournstheGreedy]

@theboyfriendtony True but I don't really like Eden that much as Elphaba................She's a powerhouse Maureen but I think for Wicked she goes too powerhouse and forgets she is a green witch. I also don't like Idina as Elphaba because she was kind of weak as Elphaba :/

[theboyfriendtony]

Eden is by far better than Idina Menzel. Yes she is amazing, but Eden just takes it to a whole new level. Why do you think she keeps taking over her parts. Rent, wicked, whats next. That should be her job description for auditions "And what do you do Ms. Espinosa?"

[thisishowwelove]

@theboyfriendtony Not gonna lie, you do have a good point and an excellent argument but I think as far as RENT goes Eden just took the character of Maureen to the next level not necessarally beating Idina in anyway but taking what she has created and made it better. You can't undermind what Idina has created. I mean let's face it: If it weren't for Idina, who would Maureen be? You know what I mean?

[GiovannaClapis]

They kinda incorporated the caracthers! I laughed soooo much!

I don't like comparissons, but Idina's THE best Maureen ever, and Tracie is the best Joanne!! Eden is not bad though :]

[ILUVlupin]

loli just watched tracie's interview on late show with craig somebody and was wearing that exact outfit.. :P she looks gorgeous!!

[mandith]

It's very hard to fill Idina's shoes. But Eden does it great!!!

[sanloful]

eden and trace are the best maureen and joanne!!

[Smartpplz161]

OMG goosebumps goosebumps!

[ShrnATTITUDE]

omg at the end they sooo kissed ! ;o look at tracie's face at the end they where kissing ;o omgoooood !

[ShrnATTITUDE]

they would be so great togheter

[erickarnb]

I LOVE THE SONG! i can listen to it all day!

but i have to say, idina menzel would have made that HELL funny if she was there... hahaha

[gemzn]

lmao i LOVE Tracies reaction to Eden :D especially when Eden sings " dont u want ur girl hot!" Tracie obviously does :P great chemistry

[mzfabdiiva08]

Tracie's face @ 1:38....cute!!

[BearcatWizard]

I saw Eden Today's Matinee, her Defying Gravity, OMG it was a Spectacular performance. She's hella nice! I think Eden might be the only one other than Idina that played BOTH Maureen and Elphaba! I could be wrong, but does anyone else know who else played BOTH Elphaba and Maureen?

[nothingspecial245]

@BearcatWizard I totally agree haha...i saw her in Wicked a few days ago and she was AMAZING!!

[tacopaco0916]

How did Eden not end up playing in the movie? And how did idina sing rent? Did she do it before or after Eden? I'm confused.

Idina is prettier I think, but Eden has a better voive

[wicked4RENT70]

Idina was the first Maureen, and Eden was the last Maureen on Broadway.

[lilpokey731]

@tacopaco0916 Idina originated the role on broadway, and I believe that Eden didn't play it till after the movie came out. But I could be wrong. But yea Idina was the original

[joeymagic7831]

haha tracie get the bottle real fast at the end

[wicked4RENT70]

it's just water people!! give it a rest!

[starlicious1976]

This is amazing!!!

[peanut251]

yeah it's crazy. she lookes exactly like her.

[mmcp136]

i never realized how much eden looks like idina

[kiddoswan]

OMG..Tracie Thoms is so sexxxxxy on here her facial expressions are so adorable....and Eden's vocals are crazy awesome WOW!!!

[musicallyinclined100]

they are so stank! i love them yo

[KRANCHY]

what kind of hair style is Eden using? does anybody know? what's the name of the hair style?

[SelfConflict]

I've heard it called the "thumbelina"

[chocolateapple]

I loooooove how Eden makes like she's turning away, but when Tracie sings the line "I hate mess but I loooove you" she turns back to her and smiles. And she does it all the time, whether performing it on stage or in concerts or in cabarets.

lulz clearly, I've watched their performances way too many times. CAN YOU BLAME ME, they're amazing together <333

[boyslikegirlsthunder]

I LOVE EDEN ESPINOSA.

[525thousand600]

i love tracie's face while eden is singing! haha

[chocolateapple]

CUTIIIEEES!! They are both adorable. And amazing!

[drakkis]

Those two are so awesome.

[meijosui]

Eden did own this one as well. I'm use to Idina of course but Eden has her own diva strengths in RENT and Wicked. They are both awesome!

[tillyboos]

I LOVE Eden, but Idina owns this song!

[The1BionicPigeon]

i want tracie's dress so bad its so cute! not so sure what the heck eden's wearing tho. its a bit too ruffley for my liking but at least it looks good on her lol

[deefan101]

really great preformance... but i think that Tracie hit that bottle to many times... she seemed a little tipsey!! lol ;)

[chemarjoh]

Does ANYBODY know if Tracie Thoms has sister locks?

[dramaticfocus]

the band was doing the intro to the movie version of "take me or leave me" obviously which tracie thoms did which has 2 extra bars of the intro, unlike the musical version which eden must've thought they were doing. sing along with it and wait the extra 2 bars. the verses will line themselves up. not saying it was eden's or tracie's fault... it's just that the band wasn't off. so i'd say the band had true professionals in it for catching up with the girls because eden started too early.

[elphieNYbroadway]

great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nikkivan21]

the band is a little off eh? But eden and tracie got through it anyway. True professionals.

[leelee987654]

im sorry but what is eden wearing

[shangrilasfan2006]

you gotta luv tracie. shes such a great singer, and Eden is so, so... awsome!

[ilooooooovewicked]

Eden is fucking fierce!!! OMG! =-0

[BrenerCiccone]

I'm in love with Tracie Thoms.

[ShortyAZK]

Tracie = Best Joanne ever!!

[ShutUpNay]

@ShortyAZK THANK YOU!!!! That so needed to be said.

[chchrj]

OMG Tracie keeps on grabbing Eden's ass!!!!!!!!!!!! that's HOT!! Love Eden's voice!

[lollypop123stephanie]

I love this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fugazi0311]

It's so weird. Joanne is so uptight and has a bit of a masculine air in the movie, but Tracie Thoms is so cute and she seems really fun loving.

[imaligergrr]

Tracie is just as incredible live as she is on the recording. I love her.

[ScottAuc]

this is sex. I love both of these women. We need to love Tracie and Eden some more.

[mbgirl05]

omg! eden's belt is awesome!!

[joannerryan]

[mbgirl05]

[1reazen]

[bonemybrass36]

Tracie is is FABULOUS!!! Love her!

[megalissa21]

Thanks for posting this, its a GEM!!!!

[tinngrinn]

They do a freaking awesome job together!

They have such great chemistry! And it's hilarious how Tracie touches Eden's butt ever so softly as if she might break it if she grabbed it like she did earlier. XD(at 1:20)

Ahaha, I love how they both still act like Joanna and Maureen even though they aren't actually performing the show. That's just great that they can go out in public and still be like that!

And as always, Tracie is such a great singer and actress. She'll always rock my socks!

[ilovemusicaltheatre3]

hahahahaha, tracie thoms - what a joker!

eden espinosas belt is FUCKING SICK.

i love ittttttttttttttt :)

[CharmedManiac321]

[CharmedManiac321]

and 2:32

[MsHateitorloveit]

she said "if i had to kiss a girl 8 times a week" and then she does the hand motion as eden walks up in front of her

[PunkNeko19]

What does she say about kissing a girl?

[Jigglesw]

The piano player got dirty looks from the both of them for doing his/her own thing lol

[BByxDipsy]

[BByxDipsy]
