No Good Deed - Kerry Ellis - Wicked London

[DINanuruw]

She's awesome!!!!

[samryb]

do you have any more stuff, or things up for trade???

[PiplupPeanut]

Overall I prefer Idina's version, but Kerry beats her hands down at the last "again."

[jakewgard1]

how did you hide the camera?

[booknerd1998]

This is definitely one of the strongest no good deeds i've ever heard.<3 kerry

[Jonnyriffic]

"my generous supply" she burped on the end there ^_^

[SuperKaluah]

Wow! that was GREAT

[HarleyQuinRose]

She is amazing

[wickedphant0m]

BALLS of STEEL. Filming from front row, dead center.

[loathing14]

I love her "I don't even know what I'm READING!"

[LittlestThings525]

Damn conductor. -_-

[flowergirrrl1]

Am going to see Wicked for the first time in London in October and can't wait. :) Am a big fan of the German version, which sadly finished this weekend, and know all the songs on the cd of that. You should check out Willemijn Verkaik singing their version of this called 'Gutes Tun' She is amazing and I believe her to be the best Elphaba.

[BeautyQueenSw211]

Hahaha she cant keep the American accent going,little bits of her pomminess sneak through

[sophiaessig]

@BeautyQueenSw211 She doesn't need an american accent, she only does that when she does this on broadway and to be honest, it makes her sing worse...

[GamblerOfChance]

Reminds me of Maleficent...

[popopo416]

@GamblerOfChance lol ikr

[keates1]

Even after all this time brings a smile to my face o how I miss kerry in it but bigger and better things on bout to happen for her

[foreverdawn6]

Wow! You were really close! I wish I could see this for real. That'd be so cool. Your story sounds funny. She sounds really nice. Lol.

[animegirl677]

haha wow you got caught at least she was cool about it nice video! I just saw wicked this summer (US) and I loved it

[tooty644]

3:33 Looks EPIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[litespeciell]

AMAZING! I have not seen or heard anybody that compares to her exept Idinas early years with the show. Truly incredible!

[BroadwayOnTheBrain]

1:01-1:03...AMAZING!!!!



[InfinitePlaylist909]

she is AMAZING!

[bigbigsmiles]

@halloween1985 acctually, they can see us, i sat on the front row a couple of weeks ago and rachel tucker&mark evans said to me and my friend they saw us at stage door <3

[chocolatexpqx]

London production has the best set, orchestra and lighting :)

And it currently has the BEST Elphaba.. Rachel Tucker <3

[kaniamia]

No kidding she spotted you; you're sitting right behind the conductor. I'm sure all the actors saw your camera.

[kevin4stell]

STOP RECORDING IN THE THEATRE.

[BellaBusify]

Oh my god, this is weak!

[TheNucleolus]

amazing lighting!!! so dynamic.

[H4nn4h12312]

she did a good job but Idina Menzel is Elphie :-)

[zeldamaddie]

I freaking love Kerry.

[marianagualano]

LOL!!! I'm glad she was a good sport about it, so yay! =) Thanks for posting the video.

[Eclaire97]

was there any disadvantages of being in the first row?

[Eclaire97]

wat row were u in??



[Jonnyriffic]

@Eclaire97 this video was recorded from Row A - right behind the conductor.

[Elphaba88]

i wish she was still there - i am going to london in a week and seeing wicked on the 14th

[cdlaing]

@Elphaba88 Kerry is amazing, but in her own way Rachel is brilliant as well - don't compare the two, but once you've seen her, inbox me and tell me what you think - and Fiyero, Nessarose, and Glinda aren't too shabby either atm... You'll enjoy it, I guarantee ;)

[loathing14]

@asshole239 thanx I like her so now I'm syced

[loathing14]

Around the 2:27 area her hair look green. I personally thought it looked tragically beautiful. :]

[DANCEEFFECTUK]

WOW she is fuckign awesome... When does she come back to do the show I want to go see it!

[zibanorg]

when i seen it on broadway they didnt use as much smoke becuase the elphaba had something wrong with her chest but i dont think you can compare both performances both west end or broaday they are 2 completerly differently experiences and if i am honest i preffered brodway

[loathing14]

Atlanta

[loathing14]

Who is elphie and galinda in N.Y. Or Arlanta cuz I might c it in 1 of those places this summer SOOOoOoOoOo EXCITED

[asswhole239]

@loathing14 Broadway (New York) is teal wicks and katie rose clarke

[tadoodledo10]

wow! still amaxing even tho ive seen it 25 times!!!!!!!!!

<3 kerry you are my idol!<3

[loathing14]

I love her it was almost inspirational actually it was and how she looked like she was singing to you and LOVED the conductor

[keates1]

The "supply" blows me away every time

[malevoicecover]

I lolled at the description :L

[mccartyfamily4]

I love this. You said you recorded more - is there any way you can link your other accounts? I have been attending shows since I was little, and Les Mis used to be my all time fave... til Wicked came along. There is just so much truth and passion in this musical, and I love it above and beyond all others. That says a lot! So, if you can share the rest... I would be very appreciative. I love how she seems to sing this directly to you :) Irony? 

[minihobo89]

She is singing this to you!! HAHA!! LOVE KERRY!!

[italiairishjon]

it sounds pretty, but I think performance wise Rachel Tucker takes the cake. She absolutely lets the role consume her and becomes truly wicked.

[BonkersBecca1995x]

Great. How long was she elphaba for? I saw nikki

[TakeAMessageBack]

COME BACK KERRY!

[crazysquirrel7]

Kerry Ellis is by FAR the BEST Elphaba EVER!!!!! Such power and raw emotion in her voice, yet at the same time she controls it marvelously, and fantastic acting and facials as well!!! She is just simply AMAZING!!!

[Kezzashizza]

i wish i could just "skype" Dianne lol she was awesome in the 39 steps but sadly i'm not that well connected. Kerry was just stunning here although as Elphaba i generally prefer Rachel Tucker. Bring Back The Bubbles!!

[pilchard96]

London does seem to use a lot more smoke! Especially in this scene, but lately its been going abit wrong apparently :P

[Itsnotlying27]

@pilchard96 Yea i saw it in June and during no good deed the smoke kinda faded in and out! But was there on saturday and the stage was absolutely filled...looked stunning.

[pilchard96]

@Itsnotlying27 same! The matinee? Rachel was on amazing form, it was phenomenal... i was 3rd row stalls, dead centre. It was absolutely incredible, and NGD smoke was bang on :D

[Itsnotlying27]

@pilchard96 yepp Matinee, Row F, just off to the right as you look at the stage. She was amazing, wee Fiyero Riff and everything! Louise was amazing aswell. Are they still not using bubbles with glindas bubble? Are they gonna get some new machines?

[pilchard96]

@Itsnotlying27 Louise's DIIIEEE note in NOMTW was actually amazing, and one highlight was George Ure's IIIIITTTSSS BOOOOOOQQQ! That cracked me up, and i loved it when after coming down from WWOTE Rachel nearly tripped over and broke her broom :') And when Lewis missed the gun in the Cornfield :')

I noticed the lack of bubbles aswell! And i thought DG could have used a bit more smoke...

[likeAstar281]

can i have a voice like that please? <3<3

damn, i cant believe i missed kerry. :'(

[DazzledRose3193]

3:33 EPIC

[suki3275]

wow, the west end lighting is different than broadways. it looks awesome!

[DazzledRose3193]

The lighting is EPIC.

[zelda1fiction1child]

She's got an amazing voice, but she just doesn't seem to right for this role...she was better in Les Mis...but she's still good in this :)

[wickedjpan]

well duh dumb-ass youre right in the lightig center

[asswhole239]

is this for trade? x

[BlazedHearts]

At around 0:20, it looks like there is a blazing fire behind her.

This video has some of the best recorded lighing and smoke effects during NGD. Well done. :D

Also, love kerry. I actually used to hate her a bit, but shes grown on me.

[emmiez123]

i love kerry! shes one of my favorite elphies and i also love the tiny differences between the different productions like lighting and sets i might go see wicked in london, tho ive seen it many times in new york

[micMAXkey]

i love the lighting as soon as she ends the song <3

[MatchThemInRenown]

@BlazedHearts I think it makes sense either way, considering the line being sung AND the fact she's looking straight at the camera :P

[bfairclough1]

In regard to the high rated comments above, cn i say im a performer and it is true that on that kind of stage it is unlikely tht the performers see the audience at all when they are further upstage. however, further downstage you can see the audience's outline, and if you are bent down out of the light at the front of the stage, they become clearer still! besides, thankyou for uploading this, its a great video! if people are happy to criticise, they shouldnt even watch the video at all!!

[vanvanvanessaa]

Fiyerooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooo! Woohooo!!

[IlMutoPHANTOMfan]

in 1:04 she looks like shes looking at the camera

[MatchThemInRenown]

If i'm not mistaken, @IlMutoPHANTOMfan, she sees mischadee at 2:13 when she shakes her head with disapproval lol

[BlazedHearts]

@MatchThemInRenown I dont think thats a shake of dissaproval. :S

The line she begins to sing is "one question haunts and hurts, too much, too much to mention". So she'd be shaking her head since she didnt want to think about "that" question.

[IlMutoPHANTOMfan]

i think she night have saw you in 0:16

[AnimeHowl0130]

I love Kerry Ellis! Her vocals on this song aer simply ah-mazing, and a round of applause for the tech people, too, for pulling off the wonderful effects! :D

[JagztheInsane]

LOL @ the guy bouncing to the music.

[SpudSr]

@JagztheInsane Thats the conductor. Fail.

[Schulzman94]

best no good deed!

[marlonc0015]

best good deed



[21thewiseone]

i did this song in high school

[TheLovebroadway]

good seats. kerry ellis rockssssssssss. one of my favoritess <3

[Hayley1591]

She's fucking epic!!!

[TvGirl92]

@Merina2222 It has always been No Good Deed. There was just more lyrics in the original one.

[SlavicSniper1]

I'm not feeling this version at all, Eden's version has so much heart and has to be the best of them all

[autobotrockstar2]

Who plays Elphie in London now? I saw it three days ago and she was great. Please respond.

[pipermaru2006]

@autobotrockstar2 Her name's Rachel Tucker and she's phenomenal! Kerry was my favourite until now. Rachel is ab amazing. xxx

[xhannah0108x]

i saw this a few days ago omg amazings!!! this is one of my favourite songs!!

my elphaba was Rachel Tucker from the andrew lloyd webber show " I'd Do anything" in the west end.

she was extraordinary! i think every actress takes something new to the role and that is good you don't want exact copies. i bought the soundtrack but personally prefered the west end version i saw to broadway recording...

coudl be because ti was recorded mind you.. but yeh that's my opinion

:D

fantastic show!

[amjdamjd]

i looooove how she scream the whole "i don't even know what i'm READING!" kerry is my fav elphie.

[saturnrings123]

@amjdamjd alphie :)

[TwilighterJadey]

Holy crap, this girl is so damned good! I saw her 'The Wizard and I' performance earlier and was like but she's too cute for this but feck was I wrong...she is AWESOME!

[halloween1985]

I wasn't saying I have seen it more than you - LOL. I could care less about the amount .. I was just informing you that I wasn't basing my knowledge on 'close minded' experiences. I am happy you have seen the production more than 12 times in London .. I hope you have seen the States' as well. Anyhow I got my answer from Dianne and will pester you no more.

Regards from the States.

[halloween1985]

I did not say they could not see the audience .. just not well enough to know exactly who is filming them at a time. I will Skype Dianne this weekend and ask her. Then I will have my answer and be on my merry way. FYI - I have seen London's production 12 times and prefer it over Broadway's .. oh, and yes, I have been on the stage ... if you go again just ask for a tour and they may let you wander about - that is what I did. Of course, they may have felt sorry for the American ;-)

[mischadee]

@halloween1985 Wow 12 times. I don't want to get in to who's seen it the most let's just say that I was at 12 a very long time ago. Anyway I am not lying, go ahead and Skype Dianne if you want but if you really want to find out I recommend you ask Kerry next time yo see her ;) Arghh. I just dislike close minded people like you. I mean is because of jealousy you question me or what is it?

Anyway, I am done arguing with you, have a good chat with Dianne :-)

[garrychelsea]

@halloween1985 i have many friends in shows in the west end and they can easily see the first 4-5 rows,ive even had friends wink at me when they spot me in the audience, and video cameras are easier to spt because of the bright red record light, the casts often tell the theatre management where the people doing the filming are sat, how do you think the ushers at the back can tell where to go to when they tell people to stop

[halloween1985]

I can't help but feel you are stretching the truth. Even if she saw a camera's light in your general vicinity .. it would be impossible to pin-point it to you. Actors cannot see the audience's faces well - if at all during the production ... so your story seems strange. Nice video, though.

[mischadee]

@halloween1985 well you can believe what ever you want. I have no reason to "stretch the truth". Btw have you been standing on the Apollo Victoria stage lately to be able to make an accusation like that? Do yourself a favour, next time you see Wicked in London, ask the cast if they can see the first row of people, then you will get your answer.

[elphbwckd]

@mischadee actually from being in many productions in different venues I must say that the performers can see more of the audience than you think. It isn't like a black whole beyond the proscenium. The lights from the stage light up a great deal of the audience. If they were filming from the first few rows especially it is totally plausible she saw their face and would recognize them.

[asswhole239]

@halloween1985 Umm yes they can, we sat front row dead centre at wicked london the other day and me and my friend pulled faces at sarah earnshaw and it made her giggle, we asked her at the stage door if she saw us and she said yes that was very naughty of you and then laughed lol xx

[TakeAMessageBack]

@asswhole239 Thats so bad! Pulling faces at performers whilst on stage! So disrespectful!

[thehelpinghandspmen]

@halloween1985 Actually, I am an actor and yes it is hard to pin-point the person, but due to the fact @mischadee was right behind the orchastra the lighting woiuld have caused it to be really easy to pin point them. Sorry to tell you, but when there that close you can see them, because you have to be able to see the orchrestra leader to see if they are going slower than normal.

[asswhole239]

@halloween1985 The actors cna most definitely see front row at wicked. The lights are too far away for them to be so blinded that they can't see the first fron rows. In shows i have been in the lights have been very close and you can still see the first 3 - 4 rows and apart from the lights above the stage the ones in front are attached to the dress circle and sides of the theatre. And i was sitting front row dead centre on sarah earnshaws last show in london and i...

[asswhole239]

@halloween1985 poked my tongue aout at her (in a joking manor) and she did it back so they can see front row.

[brightsunshine]

@halloween1985 Actually, if the person is close, it can be easy to pinpoint them. From this camera view, it seems that s/he was pretty close to the stage.

[BellyDanceNewbie82]

I love her "FIYERO!"

[Thenameisjim94]

I love how much smoke they use in the London production, and with the lighting it looks epic.

And also I think it just shows how talented she is by being able to sing so amazingly well through all the smoke.

Just all round amazing!

[asswhole239]

@Thenameisjim94 It's not smoke, it's dry ice mixed with water so they don't choke lol. They go through like 500 tonnes a week or something insane like that lol i saw it on a backstage tour of wicked london x

[pipermaru2006]

I wanna know how you got this video?! I got my camera confiscated! lol.

[monkeyfuckingacoconu]

Totally PWNAGE!

[ilovechocie4]

shes amazing :O but did anyone else notice 'what is this *charrnting*'??:L

[evanescent95]

@ilovechocie4

That's how us Brits say chanting lol :P

[ilovechocie4]

@evanescent95 i'm english, but i still found it amusing:L

[TheWesternSkies]

After being on the wicked stage in san francisco...it became clear how easy it is for actors to spot a camera....I was suprised how close even the rear balcony seemed.

[lgmartin12]

I was Fieryo! It was fun on broadway! GREAT EXPERIENCE!

[simpsonfreak16]

@lgmartin who was your Elphaba and Glinda???

[SeptemberStarz]

LOVE THIS!!!

[paulieboi1978]

DAMN SHE OWNED THAT SHIT!!!!! SHE IS FREAKING AMAZING!!!!!!

[sammyvip123]

luv this song!!!!!!!!

[charlcooper]

this is just epic!! i love wicked, i love no good deed, i love kerry ellis...omg this is amazing! :D

[JenLuvzBUBBLEGUM]

She is not evil!! Just misunderstood :(

[elphabamushu]

i love 0:58 - 1:00 shes so pasionate!

[Apawneck]

I have no favourite Elphaba, since they're all different with their voices and the way they potray the character, but Kerry Ellis is definitely up there. 

[amyandcharlie]

its almost like she was shaking her head at you in dissaproval at 2.14 but i love that she just laughed about it... she was really sweet and down to earth when i met her so im not surprised

[abbyrocks100]

did you get spoted at like 2:14 after she cries out for fiyero and gets down on her knees cause that is where i thought she saw you

[sammyvip123]

oh i see where she cought you hahahaha

[LoriJayney]

There is a problem with this video. It cuts at 2.33 and won't play anymore. And it's deffo not you tube, my connection or laptop 'cause it's fine with everything else :s

[Sam4G0d]

thank you for this video! very brave of you but thanks! :) worth it.

[marilga]

geez! when she did "...fiyero saving you..." i thought she would point a finger at the caeraman! O_O

[ssdiothor]

rofl, probably not the best idea to be filming right behind the conductor's head yes? singers do look at the conductor's direction you know ;)

[benjiboi91]

when did she spot you?

[Eskimop16]

saw wicked yesterday with rachel tucker as elphaba and my god this scene was powerful with her, so sad with this scene also

[robertlagestee]

Although she's been gone for a year now I can't stop loving Kerry's No Good Deed!

[pipermaru2006]

BRILLIANT!! Thanks for the upload. xxx

[Duty199]

i love it how to see how the conductor lead the orchester with such a passion *-*

[asswhole239]

pmsl she shook her head at you :L x

[NotEnoughBooks]

im honestly speechless, she opens her mouth and I cant function. that was incredible.

[MordredxPendragon]

This is my absolute favorite version of "No Good Deed". It's so haunting and full of emotion. Gives me the shivers whenever I hear it. <3

[ronniej2012]

mischadee...I would be so embarassed! (If she said I think you got enough on your camera)

[jcwelover]

Due to forces beyond my control..... hhaahha I really like that!!!

[ShardOfFire]

Commenting once again...You sir (or madam) are brave...>_> I don't think I would have the balls, especially with that close of a sit. Kudos

[Guimmi]

OH MY GOD!!! That was the sickest thing ever!!!! LOOOVE kerry ellis <3

[TropicalTopaz]

Pretty brave camera work, my friend!

[markbuell99]

THAT WAS AMAZING!

[FallingRedRose]

I love that strut at 3:02

[ShardOfFire]

Wow I saw her looking dead at you a few times. Thats so funny.

[lovestvandmusic]

Robert love, I totally agree. She is fabulous, a true 'eargasm', a word i've recently learnt from our learned Youtube peers!!

[robertlagestee]

Best version of the song! Best Elphaba!

[lovestvandmusic]

Go Kerry! Wow, what a star. Denise LOVE, Helen left Wicked like 3 years ago. Get with da programme!!!!!

[palmtree5678]

BEST version of this song EVER. Along with the

Japanese version of course. Go Kerry!

[deniserogue]

is Glinda still Helen Dallimore? :)

[wiccaryan]

wow amazing recording, any other clips? I'd love to see defying gravity from your view!

[McCRAAAZY]

better than the original recording with Idina. Kerry really shows how at 1 moment, Elphaba is gentle, then Wicked. she shows that kinda better than Idina. YAY ^^

[Jellyapple67]

Whoa. I know u are supposed to wave ur hands while chanting, but why so frantically?

[angelxschunard]

Two things I love about her performance: how clear her voice is, and her spell-casting arms at the beginning. I don't know why, it just looks freakin' awesome.

[everythingdazzels]

idina is fantastic better than kerry i think )

[mischadee]

He is called the conductor :)

[AButterfliesSong]

ahhhh... thanyou!

[bethany661]

@mischadee bahaha! that made me lol for real :) well done

[80sgirl2010]

Lol! Either that or a munchkin is dancing through the audience for no good reason

trying to find the bathroom

[angelxschunard]

Um...that's the conductor, honey.

[30005951]

@AButterfliesSong

Em thats the conductor!

The person filming this was in the centre of the front row.

[AButterfliesSong]

ahh I see now

[becalou]

@AButterfliesSong Hahah but it does look like he is just bopping up and down in his seat

[ntranced257]

@AButterfliesSong i think you should remove this comment, you seem so stupid right now. well, acc for 4 months. XD

[vampirelove75]

she's really good

[iheartmusicals00]

I generally prefer Alexia Khadime in this role - but this is pretty damn amazing!

[richshillitoe]

She owns! Best Elphie by far
