@LondonLadybug I'm guessing you haven't seen Rachel Tucker portraying the role of Elphaba currently in the West End now. She's honestly the best Elphaba I've ever seen. Bare in mind that I've also seen Idina Menzel on Broadway as well (who is Elphaba in the scene in the video). Kerry Ellis was quite good in the role too in the West End, but not as good as Idina.
To those who dislike the overly posh English voice on Glinda, I think it's a bit forced as well, but Glinda in both The Wizard of Oz and the book Wicked was a bit snobby so I think Annalene's doing her role properly. And Glinda isn't meant to be a "dumb blonde." She's just a happy-go-lucky, bubbly character and Kristin portrayed her as that. Kristin was a bit of a snobby Glinda as well but didn't make it as obvious. You need to read the novel to understand it all.
@williambynum07 cheers very muchly, ur accent is pretty dodgy and ur spelling atrocious, u miss out the u in colours. its completely normal to us british and ur accent is the annoying one.
I think that Idina and Kristen are the best for Wicked, though truthfully I have never seen the play, but these two do good too. I think this one matches Glinda too.

Kristin is a MUCH better Glinda though, she plays the ditzy. 'popular', funny part where this one is like alot more stuck up and meanish. IDINA AND KRISTIN ARE THE BEST DUET IN BROADWAY HISTORY.
This is the original Elphaba: Idina Menzel.. It only is a new Glinda..the original was Kristin Chenoweth..if you do a bit of trouble, there are enough vids on youtube
I know, but they are from the Broadway version, I mean a video from the London version (at Victoria's theatre) with Alexia Khadime playing Elphaba XD I haven't found anything =(
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Boffinme80 always has a negative comment on people who doesn't agree with her/him. Shows how arrogant he/she really is. A real Brit with a stiff upper lip
its a brilliant show... i saw the one in london at the weekend but glinda has a bit of an annoying voice in parts altho most of the story is based around elphaba.
It's not meant to be English. It's meant to be American. The Wizard of Oz is utterly American and all the shows around the world (except London, apparently) use the American accent :)
Why use the American accent??? The Wizard of Oz is not ENTIRELY American!!
And it isn't set in America it;'s set in Oz so the charcaters don't have to have an American accent! ALL the shows use the American accent? No they don't!! German version doesn't, neither Japanese, or Australian! Why is it you always think this should be American, that should be American?? Just proves how arrogant you lot are!
I'm a New Zealander, so I'm not an arrogant American. I just saw the Australian one and they DO use American accents. And the Wizard of Oz IS American - it's an American classic! Dorothy comes from Kansas and the whole thing - book and movie - is very Americanised.
i love this song - it's so catchy! and i love it when idina (i think it's her) and helen (since everybody seems to hate her) say zero and one at the same time!
you kno, i can actually see my english teachers doing this song. my teachers co- teach (obviously), and one of them is a blonde, and the other brunette. one is tall, the other one sorta short. it would be amazing, you have NO idea how funny it would be.
i love it at the beginnig when they're reading the letters and they're describing each other! glinda: "unusually and exceedingly... peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe..."; elphaba: "blonde." it's great!
That's not Kirstin Chenoweth! This is the london cast, and I am pretty positive it's not Helen Dallimore or Dianne Pilkington. Hmmm so who plays her here? Is it an u/s?
what do you mean "is it an u/s?" and so maybe it isnt Kristin Chenoweth. that looks like Kristin Chenoweth to me. thats all i have to say. stupid mistake on my part. boo hoo!
the only way to get tickets is through a ticket broker (you can find them online). i gave up a long time ago trying to get tickets to WICKED from Ticket Master or at the box office. They sell out as soon as they go on sale. Ticket brokers buy up tickets and resell them legally. I had to pay over $250 for two tickets in the upper balcony - but worth every single cent - and I'd do it again!!
Idina is amazing as always! Hellen Dallimore deserves a lot of credit though! Most people recognise Kristin Chenoworth as Glinda, and Hellen has to step into those shoes! I like the contrast between the American and English accents...Tis good!
Haha it could work...let's pretend Elphie went to some posh British boarding school. :) Good job London cast. Still, gotta say Kristin Chenoweth & Idina made Wicked happen! Can't replace that voice & acting chemistry. ;)
ohohoh the women which is galinda here... i don't like her... she has a beautiful voice but she's not really acting. i'm glad they didn't choose her -.-*
Does it have a name?
