I meet her and she was lik hi i was crying x now i have less respect for her xx so sad cos shes so amazing xx hopefully seeing it for the 4th time this friday <3
@ellielouise16 blimey how can you have afforded to see it 42 times?! So jealous! I've seen it 6 times and i'm obsessed! I know rachel quite well though, so its often nice to go and see her, glad she's staying on! Have you ever dayseated for a cast change? Because i want to go on the 10th december to dayseat and need some advice on times, i've never done it on a saturday! xxx
Easily the sweetest version of this I have ever heard. Too many Elphabas sing this in a harsh sounding voice to make them sound "different". Kudos for singing it how it was probably intended.
@1christiel you should try and go before 10th of December thats the last night of mark, louise, rachel.... rachel is staying on though but this cast is amazing !!! its totally different when your there to you are there best showw ever i have booked again xx
She was superb. I write this from a wee bit of expertise as I've been singing opera internationally for 27 years. I was so thoroughly blessed to have been there that night. Thank you Rachel!
I had the extraordinary pleasure to see my first WICKED at the Apollo in March of this year. Sat in Row H center. It was wonderful. Rachel Tucker was breathtaking from entrance to curtain. I've really studied the show via YouTube and firmly believe that Eden Espinosa was the most vocally perfect Elphaba yet. However, Rachel Tucker matched her riff to riff and still offered beauty and 'room' in the voice for text and relationship.
Saw Team tuckerman (rachel tucker and lousie dearman) on June 18th 2011 and although i had already saw videos and heard reviews from friends, i was absolutely flabbergasted at how amazing (not even the right word to describe how good rachel is) she was and louise as Glinda! Cant wait til October so i can get tickets for next june! so sad it wont be team tuckerman though:(. I sat in Row F seat 27 and my aunt sat in F28!
@JustLoveSingingx she extended a few weeks ago! She's going to be in it until at least next october (because that's when the musical has booked the theatre until so far!) I am actually so happy she's staying!!
But Louise hasn't extended and is leaving in December :'(
Wow!!! Although I absolutely adore Idina and think she sang it better, I have to admit, Rachel's acting blew me away - it was so brilliant (and she did sing it really well).
I'm going to see her in 'Wicked' in a few weeks, and I was kind of sad that Idina no longer plays Elphaba, but after watching this video, I'm so excited about going. This video has made me love Rachel as Elphie <3
@crazysquirrel7 Quite right, what on Earth were they thinking with Alexia? I can only assume that Alexia was a friend of whoever did the casting for the role at that time.
@Londonman84 Alexia was actually so much better than a lot of people give her credit for. I also thought she had a very annoying voice before I saw her live. Even now I seldom listen to her recordings because they aren't that good. The truth is, Alexia was amazing live, but her voice doesn't work well on recordings. Rachel's voice is so much more powerful though, but Lexi is still my fav :D
It's extraordinary - Rachel reminds me of Judy Garland, her look I think.
