Rachel Tucker - "Defying Gravity" - 10/01/12

[erinsboroughfan]

This audio is brilliant, you can really hear Rachel's passion when she goes up in the lift :) I actually need to see Gina Beck in action to make a decision about her, but I do wish I'd seen Rachel and Louise again before Louise went, they were a phenomenal pair :)

[PARAWHORExHERE]

@erinsboroughfan her acting is absolutely wonderful. she wasn't THAT funny at this performance, but i went the other night and she was absolutely hilarious! just a brilliant actress!

[lucyupland]

[robbieiswicked]

@lucyupland thank you! :)

[Itsnotlying27]

Im addicted to this recording, She is stunning

[LifeWithLizzzy]

EEEEEK IM SEEING THIS ON THURSDAY! This cast and everything, so excited!

[handofblue]

The orchestra sounds AMAZING. Especially as she begins to rise and throughout the rest of the flying sequence. Chills! The London orchestra is always so on-point.

[leelee987654]

her 'look' was fit.

[dippydai]

I love this whole cast, EXCEPT Matt Willis cos unforch he just isn't right for Fiyero in my opinion

[SamRondeel]

I love her look

[DaisyMaeMalfoy]

I went to see this on 10th January, and I though it was absoloutely amazing. Ive watched so many different Glinda's and Elphaba's sing this and these two are by far the best. Im so happy I got to see these!

[JAKEHINGZZ]

The drums kept going for a bit longer on 'Everyone deserves' ;D

[LoveFromShinola]

Serious goosebumps. I saw Rachel on 10th December, nearly everyone's last night but hers and Julie Legrand's. Absolutely unbelievable. I think she was really going all out for Louise's last night. I was sat after this just unable to move and I let out a breath I didn't know I'd been holding. Then the giddiness started :) Phonomenal.

[CoRtNZ1]

She is brilliant!!!! I'm a loyal Idina fan, but this girl is freaking amazing absolutely perfect!

[Evviex]

Im going to London in february, but ofc Rachel is off when im there :(

[fl0ryan]

Rachel is Rachel... Even on a normal day she still sounds amazing. 10th December (Louise's last) was just supernatural. She doesn't need to imitate Kerry Ellis, she has her own massive riffs... Unlike Kerry and Idina, Rachel pays attention not to strain her voice... she still has months to do the show and if she does the riffs every night, she'll end up in hospital...

Best Elphaba ever!!

Can't help missing Louise Dearman. Will wait to see Gina Beck live to make my mind about her.

[thetwofreaks1]

TEAM TUCKBECK!!!!! <3

[larabearx]

rachel tuckers by far the best elphaba :)

[coddy92]

This is amazing- thanks for recording! :) Rachel sounds fantastic here- and Gina seems to be doing well! :D I love how you can see the lift coming forward here before she properly rises...in other videos you can't see it. I could watch this over and over!

[OMGitsJORDON]

One of her best 'Look to the western sky' simply because she switched it up with the 'look'. It wasn't exactly a Kerry growl but it was still good! Shame there was no growl on the last riff though, she usually nails that growl!

[omglolwhatever]

@OMGitsJORDON Good, I'm glad, it's better. The way she used to growl on the last note sounded like a burp

[TheWedjie]

@omglolwhatever rachels growl on the last note is second to none :P

i like the riff she does on ''meheee lgrook to the western sky'' on 'special occasions' :L

[BOWYERD999555]

@TheWedjie Mehee and Igrook? Whaaaat? :O

[TheWedjie]

@BOWYERD999555 thats the only way to describe it ;p the way she did it at cast change and on a few other special occasions...like when i went :L

[TR252]

The crescendo when she starts to rise is incredible. Big love for Rachel and Gina seems to be settling in really well!

[Itsnotlying27]

Saw her the night before, she is just breathtaking, her acting is sublime, and the growl on Look, just like tears through the air

[Elphiesgreenfriend]

When is she gonna leave???

[jakewgard1]

it sounds like she's singing westend sky instead of western haha

[TheGreendaybryce]

I'm sitting here pretending I'm in the audience, almost crying. The orchestra is AMAZING in London.

[pilchard96]

@PARAWHORExHERE Hmmm I've always been sceptical of celebrities being given roles over trained professionals purely to put bums on seats (coughfionainshrekcough). I heard some audio of his 'It's time to go' interaction with Rachel at the end of the show, it sounded dreadful. Yet to hear audio of one of his songs, but to be fair, although I unfortunately didnt get to see him, Mark was a tough act to follow.

[niknaknonoo]

this makes me very happy, especially since right at the end gina is clear to see, well the back of her! <3 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FILMING <3 Gina and rachel are amazing!

[leelee987654]

GINA <3 I LOVE her new 'LOOK' to the western blah blah

[jakewgard1]

wow that was soo fierce and i love her last broom thrust at the end

[pilchard96]

and HOW GOOD DO THE PIT SOUND? Oh god.

[Greggzz1]

This is incredible!!! Love it!!! Thanks for uploading it :D

[pilchard96]

@robbieiswicked Thank you so much in advance!!! And what did you think of Matt as Fiyero? And any footage by any chance?

[PARAWHORExHERE]

@pilchard96 (this is my other account) it's up now! Matt wasn't very impressive vocally, although he did a couple nice things. He doesnt really look right and he pulls some scary scowling faces at odd moments, acting was very weak - not a good step in my eyes! Rachel and Gina have extraordinary chemistry though, so it makes up for it! :) No footage of him though i'm afraid! Only got Wizard and I on it's way and that's all!

[BAGibb]

Would it be possible to hear something from Adam Pettigrew [Boq]?

[robbieiswicked]

@BAGibb he was brilliant, and Lillie easily the best London Nessa in my eyes. Fierce she is! I'll be posting WWOTE at some point :)

[robbieiswicked]

One of my favourites by her! all the talking bits are so thought about and so right! that first "its me!" was heartbreaking - love love love it!

[NLWicked2011]

@robbieiswicked You Messenger

[xPinkFlamingox]

@robbieiswicked That "its me" sent chills! That's never happened before....Oh Tucker <3
