Wicked's New Elphaba on BBC Breakfast TV

[starmirth]

Saw her in September. She was brilliant. Totally killed it. In a positive way.

[erw165]

why is kerry ellis lip syncing to idina menzel? why why why?

[MattManOhYeah]

@erw165 Thats not Kerry Ellis. Its the Original German elphaba Willeijmn Verkaik (spelling). Its just the advert, its always pretty much been like that.

[RuckalltheFules]

@MattManOhYeah Dutch, ahem Dutch Elphaba, love.

[MattManOhYeah]

@RuckalltheFules Yeah she is the Dutch elphaba now, but was the Original German elphaba. Yes she is Dutch, i know. Im planning to see her at the CircusTheatre when the production opens. But she is still the Original German Elphaba like Idina was the Original West End Elphaba

[1christiel]

@MattManOhYeah I think it was actaully three different Elphabas

[MattManOhYeah]

@1christiel Its all the German cast, the only elphaba i saw was Willemijn. Its the offical wicked trailer and Willemijn has always been the one in it, but she can look a bit like SJB at times :)

[labutterflyx]

I absolutely love Rachel..she is great and a wonderful Elphaba!

[chocolatexpqx]

I see Rachel Tucker eyeing up that Olivier award.. next year we need to make her win one for herself!!

[TheEvilsquiril]

thats idina singing in the clip at the start :) i recognised her and kristins voice!!! I love rachel <3 saw her 28th may 2011!! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!

[SelGoDemLo]

I went to Wicked last saturday evening, still amazed by her amazing voice. I envy her so much, just for her voice. Wish I could have a voice like that...

[blondiecoco]

went to see her in Wicked last night. A-MAZ-ING!!! Really want to go and watch it again xx

[TheatreJunkie165]

Going to see Wicked in a few weeks and I actually can't wait! Rachel's singign gives me goosebumps! I'm from Ireland and it's so god to see her doing so well!

[spof7]

I've seen Wicked 3 times in the last 2 months, twice in the West End and once on Broadway - Rachel is the best Elphaba, far better than Broadway's Teal Wicks.

[MsLILUN]

Best elphaba ever...

[GlasgowMusicStudio]

She is the Best elphaba I've ever seen

[PleaseSupportMiley]

Saw her last week, she was amazing!

[AmeliaaCharlottee]

i love wicked so much, saw rachel tucker last week .. litterally gave me goosebumps!

and i wish they'd bring spring awakening back! <3

[Matthewchan0902]

I can honestly say I am in love with her performance! 

[camprocker14]

see, this is what i love about Britain. the fact that a change in a theater cast makes the morning news show!! the country puts so much emphasis on this particular branch of the arts, its fantastic. i envy all you that live there, because you truly live in a nation that holds theatre near and dear to its heart. i will move there someday, so i can be apart of what i think to be one of the best countries in the world!! <3

[BagOfSticksFork]

@camprocker14 Britan isnt a country. It is made up of Scotland,England,Wales and Northern Ireland. I should Know I live there. Apart from that error i agree. England or even the whole of britan is not as big as the USA so there is less going on

[RuckalltheFules]

@camprocker14 I know right?

[ninskimig123]

This is so unfair! Why don't I live in London, so i can go see Rachel every night? I <3 Rachel Tucker <3<3 She is so amazing <3 Went to London in October and saw her :) BEST EVER!

[MollzAP]

Aw, Rachel is so genuine and lovely. An absolutely fantastic Elphaba too - definitely my favourite!

[xLittleMissWarnerx]

I didn't know it was HER!!! Well done, my dream is to appear in Wicked. Defying Gravity is the song of my life.

[TheWedjie]

saw her the other day! She is absolutely amazing!!

And he's obviously doing something right if they can still charge £50 a ticket and sell out after it's been on for near 4 years!!

[adorablelittlecat]

she is so unbelieveable! :D 

[Hellotherevagina]

You have done so well, I went to go and see it the other day and your my total idol, I do drama to and I want to be like you

(:

[justincdiem]

Rachel Tucker was the most amazing Elphaba I have ever seen - simply sensational.

[MvyMkr]

Oh magic, there might be a Spring Awakening tour! Fingers crossed that happens!!!

[marvinalmodal]

That was really unexpected. I wish I could have watched this!

[Achlysis]

wow what the... in the show she has an english accent i didn't know she was irish!

[LOOKItsHollyTheWolly]

I went with my school to see this yesterday -BRILLIANT! Plus it was my first time in London too because I live about 2.5 hours away.

[randomiscool18]

I saw Wicked last night, absolutely amazing! 

[OneAndOnliWicked]

love the fact that the video of wicked they show is idina menzel's voice but no idina in it!!!! hehehe!!! but on other videos ive heard rachel sounds amazing!!!!

[Ysaedda]

@OneAndOnliWicked It's probably because Idina Menzel is the only one who recorded it for CD xD But yes, it was kind of funny. And Rachel Tucker is doing her proud, she's incredible.

[omgwtfthatsgay]

@OneAndOnliWicked LOL but maybe that's because Idina is the best Elphaba hihi

[Rebeccalovesmusicals]

Going to see this with some friends for my 14th birthday, can't wait! x

[starryshenanigan]

She was absolutely amazing! Need to see her in it again! :D x

[babygumm07]

I JUST SAW HER LAST NITE and got her autograph and she was WICKED!!!

[k1z]

I went to see it yesterday, it was definitely one of the best, rachel and louise (glinda) were both outstanding! Deffo worth watching!

[chrisnufc24]

amazing show !!!!!!!!!!!

[xstarxdisneyx]

they used exactly the same wicked sequence when kerry was on bbc :|

[horselover100]

I would definately go and see Spring again if it came back!

[litecomp]

I just can't wait to visit Londo to watch WICKED... Soon... very soon... XD

[Tessnesss]

I SOOO want Spring Awakening to come back to the westend. We should make a petition..

[phantomlover1000]

she kinda looks like kerry with brown hair lol it s it just me who thinks that ?

[WickedProshots]

@phantomlover1000 No, just you. Personally, I think she looks like Stacey from Eastenders.

[xKaraAnnJx]

She was amazing, going to see her again soon :)

[xtinkerholliex]

I hope she's as good as Idina and Alexia were, I can't wait to see her :)

[LaughingViolinist]

is it just me or does her voice sound hoarse here?

[MsLILUN]

@LaughingViolinist Yeah very much so but it would be ater all those rehearsals I would think...Take some stamina to build her up...

[greengoblin200]

i hate that bloke... :L

[TheEmsiepops]

OMG so proud of her!!! :-D

[saint973]

god y r they still using that german trailer i hate the dubbing the trailer idina made was brilliant co she was singing it live

[deniserogue]

actually it's not really stock footage. that's the official trailer. :) but yes, it's a different cast.

[LiNnUs2008]

why did they show clips from germany? xD

[Kat097]

This is the general stock footage. It was shot with the Stuttgast cast (I think) and they always use it for this kind of thing. It's ridiculous, and frankly, kind of offensive to the German cast, who are amazing singers, and the Original cast, which are used as the soundtrack for the clip.

[dancewitmeox]

im seeing her first night, so excited!

[SpiceBaby47]

Can't wait to see how she does as Elphaba, though i know she'll be fantastic!!
