  • Very moving song. I have a Wicked crush on Idina Menzel.

  • when my world is too much to bear i can always depend on a story with a song to allow my tears to mean more than sorrow. my trips over and the rainbow will always have a song to lift me into flight, ever weightless... never alone. the best stories are retold again and again.

  • I just can't watch this without crying

  • ive seen this when this uploaded and im still watching it =D

  • It's really beautiful song :)

  • it's about 1,000,000,000,0004 degrees in my house....and i am shivering.

  • I do believe I have been changed for the better...I don't know why I can get through the whole song without a tear, but when that line comes, I just break down. The harmony is beautiful.

  • Glinda and Elphaba

    April and Shelby

    Kristin and Idina!!!

    I've met Kristin about three times and Idina twice!!

  • Idina should invite Kristin on one of her days on her current Symphony Tour and they should sing this together!!

  • didnt she play off of rent ?

  • @zalebabe Yes, she was Maureen :3

  • How have I not seen this yet?? :D

  • Perfection. I can't believe I met Idina last weekend. Ahhhh!

  • Kristin's face in 3:20-3:24 as she watches Idina. *sobs*

  • I just graduated from College & this song was constantly going through my head as the end of the semester got closer..love this song!

  • Comment removed

  • wow <3

  • Telwiks waaaaaaaaa

  • SO much talent in this video!!! 2 of the greatest singers ever!

  • AMAZING chemistry between those two. Idina and Kristin were PERFECTTT for the part.

  • TEARS IN MY EYES TEARS IN MY EYES. Can't wait to watch this.

  • omg i love idinas voice!!! and kristins lol i love them both so much thier so awesome! i think this would have to be my favorite song, i cry just thinking about it!!! i dont know how they can sing it without crying...:)

  • omg im dying. so many emotions 

  • You would hope the music is the heart and soul of a musical.

  • idina and kristin are amazing!!! before I actually heard them I didn't really like this song as the people I heard singing it weren't the best but wow! this is like one of fav songs ever now ;)

  • Idina Menzel is the best Elphaba and Katie Rose Clarke is the best Glinda.

  • as much as i love defying gravity! For Good is my FAVORITE song from Wicked

  • perfect!

  • i just noticed i've seen them on glee lol soo stupid but hey we all have those moments :)

  • as much as I love Idina & Kristen, Stephanie & Meghan do an amazing job as well.

  • Aaaawww hug lol

  • One of the best Musicals ever!

  • Such a moving musical!! Can't believe it's so much different from the book though!

  • Wicked is by far the best musical of all time! and no one can even come close to what IDINA MENZEL & KRISTIN CHENOWETH have done. Those two have such great chemistry and each of them bring those characters to life so well! I love those two! <3

  • Saw the Australian cast last night, Lucie Durack and Jemma Rix, were amazing. They are right up there with the best.

  • im going to see wicked in london in august, cant wait!!!!

  • @minyer123 I saw it in London last February and it was actually the best thing I've ever seen.. The set and costumes and everything is completely magical :) have fun!

  • They have undeniable and beautiful chemistry, musically and emotionally. Nobody can live up to what they've done and achieved.

  • I just love their emotion the whole way through.... especially right at the beginning when Kristen starts to sing Idina is so... oohhh i dont know how to explain it... just connected,,,,, I love them both.... Idina <3 Kristen <3 Wicked <3 <3 <3 <3

  • Not even ashamed to say I very nearly cried at this.

    It gets me as emotional as seeing it live and I always say NOTHING compares to seeing it live.

    <3 Idina <3 Kristin <3

  • I am so sure that the 23 dislikes are just trying to push the buttons of the thousands who love and appreciate this song, and this video. Just ignore them.:)))))))

  • they look so cute with less make up on, geez, stephen oremus is super cute too x))))

  • @truongphan90 i know right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Kristin Chenoweth looks so different in the rehearsal part of this video.

    Both vocally amazing. I could listen to either of their voices all day.

  • such a tragic story, and the passion that put is sooo admirable

    it also maksme cry

  • this was one of the most beautiful songs in the world :)

  • 3:25 somehow it nearly brings me to tears

  • Lea Michele really does look and sound like Idina Menzel!

  • Of course these are the actors we associate best with the show. They originated the characters. They are the origional elphaba and galinda. They are AMAZING. That said, I saw wicked in London, and I was blown away. So although these are the best people for the parts - others who got the roles also are good too. :)

  • The emotion that they put even in the rehearsal, on stage... it's so beautiful!

    If any of you could see me right now, you'd see me bawling (which btw i was bawling when I saw the broadway as well xD)

  • At the end of this video I was crying. It's just so beautiful, the emotion that they bring out of me. No other cast has done this for me.

  • god they were so young lol

    love them and this song, hell the musicial lol

  • my graduation is next week and me and my best friend are singing this. we are going to different high schools:(

  • I bawl every time I hear this song.

  • I get chills at the end of the song every time. *sigh* such a work of art!

  • Stephen Oremus is so F-ing cute! His boyfriend is one lucky man!!!

  • I seriously got tears and goosebumps watching this... Such pure, amazing talent.

  • Both these women are unbelievably HOT and talented.

  • Wow. Musicians and actors using technical music terms. That's refreshing. : )

  • I get chills every time. What a great score! The harmonies and build are awesome! I wish I was a girl so I could do this musical...

  • it's amazing. this may be the one song that i cry to every time i hear it.

  • 24 people can go play with traffic 

  • I was all serious untill Idina's face at 2:39 when she didnt breathe and then i started laughing :)

  • OMG!!! omg i love them both..they're so amazing together. im just gonna say it again cz there's nothing else to say..OMG!

  • amaaaaaazing! <3

  • Iz that Elphie's bennie???

  • They are both so beautiful, funny and most of all TALENTED!

  • who else is bawling their eyes just watching the rehearsal, let alone the actual scene?

  • @DaddysTaz bahahha i was crying during this whole video... glad to know i wasn't the only one :P

  • my bff and I cried when we sang this song, even though we initially were joking around, we started crying in this part: "it well maybe that we will never meet again in this life time" (we're guys) and our girl friends were looking at us laughing lol

  • kristin looks like a small cameron diaz in this video...

  • It never fails, i cry everytime i hear this song. I can see the final scene between them in my head and it just makes me cry more..lol

  • It never fails..i cry every time i hear this song.

  • we sang this song at graduation, loved it

  • God, they are both so beautiful.

    And as for the music....there's a reason Wicked was the musical to transform me into a theatre geek for life.

  • kristin kinda looks like cameron diaz with long hair!!

  • This honestly made me cry hahaha

  • Is Idina wearing the hat that she wears in the show?

  • love

  • ok, I know some people are going to hate me now, but for me, wicked always felt more like a lovestory, not just friendship, I mean, elphaba and glinda have chemistry!

    and I love the way idina and kristin are looking at each other while singing at the rehearsal...!!! <3

  • @Flighterin Yeah, I've always thought so too!

  • 24 people fail at life, 24 people can go away for good...ignorance is free, they can accept ou refuse.

  • ohhh i lovee thiss (: love it love it!!!!

  • how cud 24 ppl dislike this. this musical is the best n these 2 women av amazing voices :)

  • 24 people should melt:)

  • @califlover49 there's still only 24 dislikes after 7 months! Clearly people have gotten brains since your comment:)

  • How can they sing this duet without tearing up? It gets me every time I hear the song. *sniff* So true that this song, like so many of the Wicked songs, can apply to so many different people and relationships.

  • YEEIII go april and shelby !! glee

  • how can anyone doesnt like the play and for good .Hello its an amazing song ,I am a guy and the emotions in this song give me chills everytime .The 24 people are really cold people ,if this song doenst touch them .and i never understood ,why people are watching vids they dont like .

    Best musical ever

  • I'm in love with Wicked, and Idina Menzel is absolutely beautiful.

  • I'm in love with Wicked.

  • Simply beautiful and uplifting x

  • 24 Haven't Changed For Good....

  • i love these two.

  • apparently Idina and Kritin hated each other during wicked...

    i just can't imagine that.... on stage they completely hide it. THEY'RE AMAZING

  • @imboredmeow I've heard that rumour aswell, but it is completely untrue. Idina and Kristen were very good friends and I imagine they still would be. Idina was crying on stage during Kristen's last show. If the did have troubles together, no matter how good an actress, they wouldnt have the chemistry they had.

  • isnt she rachels  mum in glee?????

  • did anyone notice the thumb turns GREEN when you like peoples comments. LOLL. likethis

    ^ i commented this 11 months ago on pg. 18. there are 315 likes! why isn't it up at the top near "highest rated"

  • Ha ha ha! Idina sounding like ALVIN & THE CHIPMUNKS? How true! Also check out LEA MICHELLE's version to listen to how MINNIE MOUSE would sing this song! Lol!

  • god, i wish i could sing like them. actually, i wish i could sing at all. their voices are just absolutely beautiful and seem almost effortless. what i would DO to have that. :) <3

  • we watched this in my choir class :)

  • Yup, I thought I wouldn't cry but I did. How powerful this truly is.

  • So..I just cried. Is that normal?

  • The wizard of oz can't be inaccurate anyway because the book of wicked was written after it

  • ok i just cried i feel like a dork

  • @jockerj lol she's like 42 yes old haha

  • 24 people r jealous they cant sing gud

  • 24 people tried Defying Gravity and fell.

  • IF the wicked witch is melted BEFORE dorothy arrives, does that make the "Wizard of OZ" in accurate since DOROTHY was SUPPOSED To MELT HER?

  • @MagicalBeauty13

    As is my memory (which was from when I saw the musical two and half years ago, so forgive me if I'm incorrect!), in the actual musical (in it's final form), Dorothy DOES throw the water over Elphaba, thereby "melting" her, as Elphaba had planned. So no, Wizard of Oz isn't innacurate, as from Dorothy's perspective, she DID melt Elphaba, rather than just the faked melting present in the musical.

  • I'm so used to seeing Idina green so it's weird to see her on Glee non-green.

  • the way Kristin looks at Idina at 3:21 is so cute <3

  • kristin is hot lols

  • 'I had to take a breath, where do I take I breath in there?' So Cute and also how Kristin smiles at Idina across the Piano. I love them both, they sing so beautifully together x

  • who is not bawling their eyes out right now? T__T

  • what makes Idina Menzel amazing isn't her musical perfection, rather her imperfections which just work so well coupled with her fearless attitude which make Idina a once in a generation performer

  • no one can replace Idina Menzel for Elphaba, and although I enjoyed watching The Musical live at London in October, none of the Galinda's I have seen don't quite hit the character as right as Kristin Chenoweth.

  • @wildroseabbieeify that's because the role of glinda was made for cheno

  • @wildroseabbieeify I highly agree. Kristen brings a certain quality to the characters she plays. And it's something that's not easily imitated. That's what makes her so great, in my opinion.

  • @wildroseabbieeify same here... have u seen rachel tucker as elphie (london)... my fav non-Idina Elphaba..

  • @AlexH2906 Yes I did! :) last October for my birthday, she was incredibly good. Although no one can top Idina she was the best non-Idina I have seen, yes :)

  • @wildroseabbieeify I'm gonna see her last show in december... soo excited!!!

  • Well, I cried.

  • This was one of the most dynamic casts right here. They had just the perfect chemicstry to keep the friendly parts authentic but not downplay the anger. :) Major kudos! I love these guys!

  • I love this video

    it's so soothing

  • I find it hilarious that people think they can give Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth "pointers" on YouTube. They are never less than pitch perfect and i hope they make the Wicked Movie with these two starring.

  • No, of course not. :) I meant I didn't know this PBS program existed. Horror of horrors! LOL

  • I don't think I could ever tire of this.....I love seeing these two together soooo much!

  • Probably a totally out of the blue question, but what type of hat is Idina wearing? lol navy blue..is that a beanieish thing or..? lol Sorry.

  • Wow, most of the comments about this video are completely idiotic. It's a PRACTICE, guys. If you think they suck, it's probably because you have no life and no soul. Go listen to a good recording, not a youtube practice video.

  • They should film the stage show and release it to DVD...I would buy like a million copies. Or just watch one copy a million times...whatever.

  • @Blamango Worked for RENT, they filmed the last Broadway show and released it on DVD. Brought the original cast back for the last reprise of 525600 minutes, too.

  • Ohe dear, people shut up and enjoy this. If you don't enjoy it, why are you here? To put down good singers AND homosexuals? That's where a life comes in, you know.

  • How did I not know this existed? This is a wonderful look at these two wonderful actresses and singers!

  • @mjacton you didnt know that wicked existed ? :O

  • @ashleighdrummond I respect your opinion, but you have no idea what your talking about. Her singing is so, so, she really needs to take mic handling classes. Have you ever watched American Idol and seen those singer who tap the mic to the beat while they are singing? Those are the seminars she needs they will also tell her to be a total pro singer one must hold the mic 2" - 3" away from the lips. 3" when your really belting out a part, 2" when singing softly to normal.

  • @SingJiya WTF are you talking about mics??? They're not even USING mics. Well they are but they are headset mics, not handheld mics. And BTW this is BROADWAY genius------- not American Idol.

  • @SingJiya Sorry no, you have no idea who you are talking about. They can both hit any note in the song, there is a certain effect in the song that they excute perfectly, what you are hearing is bad camera. The effect to be produced is using minor chords and dissonence, which they execute perfectly, take a look at the last chord of the song and tell me what you notice about it. Give you a hint, it is not your typical chord ending.

  • @SingJiya Kurt* Obviously you aren't a Glee or Wicked fan so go get it in the butt :P

  • Ah idina, you never fail to deliver and you can do no wrong. Actually, you should stop wasting your talent on Glee. You are the most talented human being ever to walk this earth and you deserve more then the crappy material Glee gives you.

  • I miss seeing Wicked again this year....my absolutely all time favorite musical of all time. But this song is the epitome of what the show was all about, the love between these friends. Goose bumps every time I hear this.

  • lol kiristin has straitened hair, and Idina has a beanie...getting into charector without even trying! o my god.. my Glinda fixed Elphabas hat I think my heart broke a little. It was just so in charector.

  • holy sh*t!!!

  • I love this song their so good and true I cry everytime

  • This is why i want to be an actor, because these emotions just lift you up to another world were everything is just right and beautiful!!!

  • ungh!!

    holy moly does kristen ever look SMOKIN HOT in this!

    WOWZA!

    well..BOTH of them are smokin hot..but kristen looks so beautiful with so little makeup.

  • they were both in glee weren't they?

  • they're both so amazing...i was absolutely delighted when they got Idina Menzel to sing in Glee. In my personal list of "Brilliant Brunettes" she pretty much tops the list.

  • une merde

  • the thumb turns GREEN when you like peoples comments!

    WICKED! likethis <3

  • For God sake Idina BREATHE! What a face! ;-) Just ah, you and Kristin give my heart back when you're done with it OK!?

    Good thing the whole breathe thing happens cause otherwise "SNIF", where's that Towel, "SNIF"

  • 0:47 - 1:03 Kristin looks like Cameron Diaz!

  • @shiroosh23 no. thats offensive. Kristin is SO much prettier than diaz <3

  • @defygravitybewicked - Actually you're right ;)

    And she's much much more talented!

  • 23 people can go away For Good...

  • @peterdaniel66 LOL so true!!

  • The main thing I got from this video is that Stephen Oremus is ridiculously cute. Oh, yeah, and that Idina and Kristin are amazing. But I already knew that.

  • @semoss50 So with you on that one! He could play my piano any time! LOL

  • so amazing...no equals!

  • Comment removed

  • i love that the writer is knitting a scarf(?) xD

  • 23 people fail at life

  • @hazelmollygrey 23 people are just IDIOTS!!!!

  • @hazelmollygrey 24 now :(

  • GOOSEBUMPS.

  • I love this musical!!!!

    :) Kristin and Idina are great role models and very talented.

  • kristin's facials are too damn cute.

  • 23 FUCKTARDS didn't like this. What the hell is wrong with them?

  • @SingDanceAct1000 They were probably "tough guys" who had their best friend walk in right at that moment. said dude is in a very awkward moment, and visibly clicks the thumbs down. seconds later said friend says "hey, why'd you dislike that? that's an awesome song!" just contemplating the possibilities.
