Glinda Comparison, No One Mourns The Wicked, Part 1

[Nelsonbowler1]

the picture you put as erin hasan is jemma rix she is elphaba not glinda

[lianacrebbin]

LUCY EFFING DURACK <3 she is my favourite always :) and kristin, because i love her :)

[MrDisneyCats]

Annaleigh, Annaleigh and Annaleigh.

[Keelnara]

Kinda funny...I used to reallllllly want to be be Elphie, but lately I've really wanted to be Glinda, a lot of that being due to the solo that she has during this song :)

[JBLoveSong]

ANYWAY my favourites are Jana Stelley and Louise Dearman....

[JBLoveSong]

Louise Dearman's DIE ALONE <3 How can you hear that then say that KChen is the ONLY one who can play Glinda??!?!?! IT'S MENTAL!! KChen's good but there are so many amazing actresses who play Glinda, why does she deserve to be the "Only" Glinda because she was the first? It's ridiculous! Everyone in this video is outstandingly talented....

[Damnwizardcops]

Kristen and Louise (:

[TheatricalAppearance]

@dreemaze Couldn't have said it better myself!

[dreemaze]

Katie Rose Clarke is my first Glinda, and she so far set the standard for me.

[y00bz]

Louise Dearman!

[kiwigurl17]

Annaleigh Ashford

[TaylorNieuwdorp]

Kristin Chenoweth with always be the best Glinda.

[kimmiekae]

I love Alli Mauzey. She was Glinda in San Francisco and was FANTASTIC!!

[DevonshireNinja]

For me Louise Dearman is the best :3 x

[TheatricalAppearance]

I LOVE the congas on Chloe Taylor's NOMTW!!!!!!!

[dreemaze]

@TheatricalAppearance I agree, its very up-beat and applies a perfect contrast from the look of the musical to the sound.

[LesMisGavrocheRI]

ALLI ROCKS!!!

[TheWedjie]

since you posted this video the best glinda ever has joined the london cast ;)

Louise Dearman does the lines the BEST out of anyone....

[01BroadwayMagic]

I like Annaleigh Ashford, Christina DeCicco, Helen Dallimore (who I seriously think is underrated), Jennifer Laura Thompson, Kendra Kassebaum, Kristin Chenoweth, Megan Hilty, and Natalie Daradich. My favorites are Annaleigh, Kendra, and Natalie the best! :)

[theaterlvr25]

Kristin and Megan.

[SeraLunaCharm]

They all sound great...except for maybe the first one but Kristen will always be the best. Originally, Glinda had a very small role but when Kristen joined, they began to write songs for her to sing. They wrote most of the songs she's in FOR her.

[edwardelriclover9121]

@MegaSmores True, but I think all the Galinda's had their little talents that made them great. For example, Kendra is by far the funniest, and Kristen has the best voice. See?

[WickedGaGaFan]

I did like Ali Mauzey as Glinda, but her vibrato got on my nerves. but my favourite is Dianne Pilkington :)

[KMH4021]

katie rose indeed

[unidan82]

wow....helen dallimore sounds awful!! :s

IMO - Louise Dearman is one of the best! :) (not that she's on here)

[emmadilemmasings]

I don't know... I think Kristin sounds the best because 1. The songs were written for her and 2. She has a masters degree in opera performance...

[jewey896]

Did Kendra mess up? hahaha I thought it was a Glinda from like overseas or something

[littlemissbroadway74]

I really loved Alli and Katie. They will always be the best ones for me:)

[DefyingGravityOz]

Lucy Durack is amazing especially live!

And that picture during Erin Hassan's part is actually Jemma Rix who plays Elphaba! The beat there is too I might add lol

[kaykay2495]

i'll always be partial towards megan hilty :D

[cathyvh06]

Lucy is the best <3 after Kristin that is... duh

[cathyvh06]

Lucy is the best  <3

[essveepee]

alright there's no way i'm gonna watch this whole video, but i should just add my two cents. i saw wicked in toronto with chandra lee schwartz and she really made the musical. she was far better than the girl who played elphaba (it was the understudy, i don't know her name). but as kristin originated the role she obviously has to be considered.

[Glindaispopular576]

can anyone hear bongos in chloe taylors ?

[92positivelyemerald]

I saw christina live AWESOME!

[xefan]

My 1# choice is a toss up between Katie Rose Clarke and Annaleigh Ashford. Both I equally love but if I was really pushed .... than it would be Katie... lol she is just so emotional. sigh .... now it is time to re-watch the show. lol

[cocowizard1]

I like Chloe Taylor , Katie Rose Clarke and Laura Bell Bundy

[ChandraSchwartzROCKS]

where did you get the audio for chandra?

[googleygoogleyface]

as much as i adore Kristin (and i really really do love her) Annaleigh Ashford is my absolute favourite Glinda :)

[kagomenarue]

I just saw Chandra last night. I thought she was VERY good (and I'm picky about who replaces Kristin) :)

[ChandraSchwartzROCKS]

@kagomenarue i love chandra so i have to agree with you :)

[kagomenarue]

@ChandraSchwartzROCKS :)

[lilritagrl]

I love Dianne Pilkington's voice and her British accent!

[spmbmt]

I love Chandra, but every time you exerience this performance, it's easy to fall in love with whomever is singing at the time...

[InsomniacTheatre2010]

Katie. Rose. Clarke.

[gluedhand]

Katie rose Clarke FTW!

[bastiantotalhappy]

Kristin and lucy scherer

[LizSmiles1]

@MegaSmores I know right! Once a role is written for Cheno, it's hard trying to beat it.

[SinginwithARY]

Erin MacKey definitely! She had the perfect combination of self-assured empty-headedness in the young Glinda that made the character actually endearing!

[01BroadwayMagic]

Annaleigh Ashford and Helen Dallimore all the way!!! I don't like Diane Pilkington.

[ThisPerfectFinale]

@01BroadwayMagic i agree ! I love annaleigh and i prefer helen to dianne :)

[xmenotyoumex]

Do you have the full of Chandra Lee Schwartz?

[jaszy9993]

That first picture of Dianne Pinkington from london is not her that kendra kassebaum. Katie Rose Klarke is in Broadway

[itbejess]

@jaszy9993 that is Dianne Pilkington. I saw Wicked on London and that picture is in the programme

[JudeandTommy4eva]

<3 Lucy Durack

[jcpurple503]

I think they all sound exceptionally awesome, but since I saw Chandra live she is my fave. Also her comic timing and acting was what did it for me. 

[01BroadwayMagic]

I like Cristina DeCicco, Erin Mackey, Helen Dallimore, Katie Rose Clarke, Kendra Kassebaum, Kristin Chenowith, Annaleigh Ashford, and Megan Hilty. My favorite is Annaleigh Ashford.

[pollyjomin]

No one can beat KC, however Laura Bell Bundy was fantastic. Probably the similarities between Glinda and Elle.

[bastiantotalhappy]

lucy scherer and kristin

[ashleysamoska]

kristin and chandra ftw! <33

[msRluvsU]

Besides the insane pronunciation, I really like Chloe Taylor.

[tomhansonlover]

laura woyasz

[musicalchix]

I got to see Alli Mauzey on Broadway--and she blew my MIND when she pulled a High E at the end of No One Mourns the Wicked!! She was an amazing Glinda!! :D Sooooo funny!!

[mlballerina]

Kristen Chenoweth and Katie Rose Clarke are my favorites. I saw Katie Rose when I saw Wicked but i've listened to Kristen soooooooooooo many times on the cd, she is amazing.

[johnnkmolloyy]

Alli Mauzey! Saw her on Broadway, and she was AMAZING!!!

[cmax0424]

Natalie Daradich,,, all the wayyy

[jaszy9993]

Chandra Lee Schwartz is the best.I saw her in New Orleans in April.

[madigandesu]

Megan Hilty is by far my favorite G(a)linda. Her Thank Goodness to me is the absolute best. I also love KRC :)

[mazaindafale]

I think the photo with Erin Hasan is Jemma Rix who is the Elphaba understudy.

I love Cheno, but was very impressed with Lucy in Aus.

[dacatholicbandorgan]

I am wickely obessed with Wicked. LOL!.

[camprocker14]

that is not a good audio of helene york...she's so much better than that!!!

[Disneydanny]

Kendra is also the current San Francisco Glinda until June.

[debz12321]

Erin is amazing :D

[lindalockz]

am i really the only one saying Alli shes my favorite and the best!

[BridgettJackie]

Me and all of my cousins are going to do a performance of "Wicked" for our Aunt's wedding. It is going to be just amazing. This video has really helped me to know what level to sing at for "No One Mourns the Wicked".

[nunchakugirl]

-laughs- now i'm trying to imagine Jemma singing this.

Anyways, my favourite is probably Erin Hasan or Lucy Durack /bias

Oh, and Kchen because she's original and no one can replace her amazing voice.

[lianacrebbin]

@nunchakugirl haha have you seen the video where jemma and lucy swap roles? it's funny :)

[hotpinkmini]

kristen -- the originals always has the edge ! xxx

[gaybwayboy]

Annalene Beechey

Katie Rose Clarke

Kristen Chenoweth

Laura Woyasz

Christina Decicco

[rmackenzie0112]

DIANNE PILKINGTON!

[jjakagary]

Dianne P and Helen Dallimore are my Galinda's, but i think that KC was ace at what ive seen!

[shunters22]

I can't agree more with you! Kristin was the original and the best. She was born for the part. The others do a good job too but for me, KC will forever be Glinda the Good! x

[Merina2222]

Dianne pilkington!!!! saw her last month, she is incredible. My favourite glinda ever, easily :D

[Gomezzio]

I hate the first photo of Annaleigh. Photoshop fail xD But other than that, she's my favorite.

[chrisdando1996]

DIanne Pilkingtons voice is sooo pure xxx

[BonanzaObsessor]

ERIN MACKEY!!!!!!!!

[Elleskellybob]

Annaleigh Ashford so far is my fav but I'm going to see Dianne Pilkington in October and i think i might have my mind changed

[debz12321]

Jemma is not Erin Hasann.... LOLOL

But shes the best glinda :D

[coconutcheese100]

cheno is too old

[UKxxSophiiiexxUK]

Dianne Pilkington!! She's hilarious, i saw her at the west end and she had me crying (with laughter). i suppose americans wont like the british versions as much because it's a little more sarcastic, but if you read the book elphaba is really cynical so it works..

[kirstenishappy]

lol just a tip, when you've got erin hasan's audio up you have a pic of jemma rix who is the elphaba standby in australia

[triplethreat1013]

I saw the version with Katie Rose Clarke. She was FABULOUS. She handled every song with ease. By FAR my favorite. Her performance in Popular was so insanely funny, much much better than Kristn Chenoweth. Her mannerisms were the best I've seen from anyone. My favorite Glinda.

[89broadwaystar]

erin mackey for sure. def the best

[coconutcheese100]

lucy durack is not erin

[89broadwaystar]

whats that supposed to mean? haha

[LilMissClaraHolic]

Alli !!

[tillyboos]

Helen and Kendra are the two Glindas who don't do it for me -- Kristin and Megan are my two faves, and everyone else is good. Ok, brokkyy, I was like, wait a minute that's Jemma Rix, is she playing both roles? LOL....

[lisirox]

I like the first one, Alli Mauzey. Although, Kristin Chenoweth was the best. I think that's why I like Alli. her voice has a similar tone to Kristin's.

[MUSiCiSLiFE982]

i saww chandra lee schwartz and she is my favorite(:

[sugar4585]

Kristin all the way.... I don't know why, she just nails it in my opinion. And plus, this song was actually added into the show for Kristin's voice, Glinda was originally just going to belt...

Followed by Annalene.

I personally can't stand Dianne Pilkington, but hey, everyone has their opinions!

[wheety1621]

I love this opening number!! I think they are all amazing because they have to be there to get to where they are!! I must say the weakest by far on her vocal's in comparision to all these wonderful glinda's is Helen Dalimore!! Why and how she managed to open the London production I'll never understand! But hey my opinion! :) Thanks for the videos!!

[dementieva12]

@wheety1621 Because Dianne wasn't in the running back then.

[wheety1621]

I didn't mean Dianne, I meant out of all the actress' they could find, I'll never understand why they had Helen open the London production in my opinion.

[dementieva12]

Still, Dianne would have probably beaten out Helen had she not been engaged with whatever else she was doing. She said she wanted to audition when it came at first, but she couldn't. Even Chloe and Annalene would have done better. I totally agree with you on the singing part of Helen Dallimore for this role.

[hyunsu1986]

after kristin (the BEST glinda, also the first!!)

i love annaleigh...she's sooo good with all the acting. :)

[brokkyy]

PS the broadway buble is huge!!

[brokkyy]

Lucy Durack is my fave, seen her 4 times, and Erin Hasaan once, can i point out that the pic u put for Erin is actually of Jemma Rix who is the Elphaba Standby lol

[GalindaMunchkin11]

Lucy Durack has always been my favourite but I love them all. =D

[txknight80]

Kristin will always be the best Galinda for two reasons: She's a an award winning Broadway Goddess AND the role was written for HER!

Other than her I LOVE Megan, Annaleigh and Erin!

[dementieva12]

Oh my god and KENDRA at Number 2 as well, i love Kendra!!!!!

[dementieva12]

1. Kristin

2. Megan

3. Dianne/Annaleigh

4. Annalene

5. Erin

6. Chloe (haven't heard enough yet)

[noonemournsthewickd]

LOVE dianes die alone 2 ilikeurbumable

[noonemournsthewickd]

1#. Lucy durack LOVE HER!!!!!!

[tillyboos]

#1. Kristin (THE BEST!)

#2. Megan

#3. JLT

#4. Natalie

#5. Laura Bell Bundy

I know there were lots of others--but these were my top 5. Ummm.....Alli Mauzey and Katie Rose Clarke sounded good too. Kendra's last on my list for this -- she's too low in range. That's about it -- bless em all, they work hard.

[IsabelleHayley]

Special place in my heart for Katie Rose Clarke......I also REALLY like Marissa Lupp!!

[OlliverPocherFan]

Lucy Scherer is the best Glinda all over the world!! :)

[rereadingreality01]

Kristin Chenoweth, Jennifer Laura Thompson and Katie Rose Clarke are the only ones who can handle this song.

[francescamusical]

chloe taylor! :)

[SweetOZland]

Lucy Durack (But I may be a tad biased) I also liked Jennifer Laura Thompson, and Dianne pilkington was good but I don't really like the british accent

[TinyRen]

Haha that's good XD I accidentally used a wrong picture...actually it's funny XD

[ilikeurbumable]

i love diannes 'die alone'

but chloe taylor.....wowand why is jemma rix in it? shes elphaba

laura bell bundy should reprise her role (not as standby tho)

[leighbo29]

That picture used for Erin Hasan is actually Jemma Rix the elphaba Standby in Australia lol

[christina2587]

Erin Hasan she's beautiful

[loudip6493]

alli mauzey :)

[TinyRen]

Really it wa sher first show? Wow that amazes me even more. I think she is just a gorgeous Glinda ^^

[oztastic08]

Yeah, her first and only show to date!

[oztastic08]

Chloe taylor.. amazing. You would never have known that this recording was from her first show!

[jessicasmd917]

Lucy Scherer <3
