YESSSSSS!!!!! I saw these two in October last year and it is so much better live!!!! Unfortunately Lee Mead and the guy who played Boq have left now though so I've heard :(
Saw them in Wicked last year...going again this year (11 shows in a week looking forward...yep!) and i think hes gonna be great as emmet...enough "geek + charm" to fill the role greatly...
two musical theatre stars thrust into the mainstream by a television show- personally I think only one deserves to be singing this song, and I think we know who that is...
In the book, Fiyero was so in love with Elphaba, like Norbert's Fiyero. Elphaba was almost always serious, rarely ever showing any real emotions. Sorry, but, this is just my opinion, Idina is a much better Elphie.
I liked the more serious version. Everyone in that cast played it a little darker and it put a new spin on the show. That's what's fun about live theatre, whenever there's a cast change you get a different interpretation of the show. The bit of seriousness they added made the underlying message of the show, which hit home a bit more in this year of wondering where our money's gone off to and rumor mill's polarizing political views.
This is a wonderful version of as long as youre mine!Lee is a fantastik singer!
For all wicked fans:
enter on youube: "Solang ich dich hab - wicked " and Mark Seibert.He's a german musicalactor and his voice is pretty amazing!!(i think ihis version actually a bit better than this )But even though this is great!
I'm going to see this in October! I can't wait! I hope Rachel's still playing Elphaba! She was one of my favourite Nancy's.... I so wish Lee was still in it ): He came to southampton and i went to his show... LOVE YOU LEE!
@Staraahhskinss she's contracted to play Elphaba until December 2011 so you should be fine :) I saw her in January and am going again this summer... she's awesome! :D
I adore Lee and Rachel in this version the song. There chemistry is so palatable. The caring of Fiyero and the disbelief of Elphie. The passion. Their voices. Just love it.
@JBLoveSong I know EXACTLY what you mean! I love Lee so much, but when I met Mark I was like 'Lee who?' I also think Mark's much better in the role - his voice is much stronger and he and Rachel have AMAZING chemistry!
I have a thing for a man that does Musical Theatre, and when I tell ppl that, they assume that all men in Musical Theatre are gay. But that is completely wrong, what's wrong with guys being professional and passionate about what they do
Haha, I agree, though when it happened I did a double take, choked on my water, died, came back to life, and gawked at the screen. Elphaba, the scary, sarcastic Wicked Witch of the West (whom we all love) giggling?! Why, 2012 is here! XD
Just kidding. :) And I did love this, I was just a little suprised at seeing a new spin on this scene.
@unidan82 maybe even 65%, she is just THAT good live! :D I've seen her twice now :) last time, from the centre of row A - chhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiilllllllllllllllllllllsssssssss!
Very true. I suppose each person has a different way of portraying the characters in this scene; I just wasn't used to this. But I do see your point. :) Thanks again for the video!
This is great. Vocally, they are probably one of the better pairs that I've seen. The only thing is that they seem a bit out of character at points; Lee's Fiyero is a bit too serious, and Fiyero's a happy-go-lucky, careless type of guy, and as adorable as Rachel is, Elphaba is the last thing but the giggling type. :)
But I'm just being nit-picky; this was absoultely fabulous. Love all the dry-ice effect! XD
@unidan82 That is EXACTLY what I was thinking. I love all the emotions of this song, especially the laugh and Elphie's disbelief that anyone could actually love her like that. For me, that is the main message and the point of the song - and, arguably, of the musical. LOVE ELPHIE!!!
@TheGreenified I think the point of Fiyero as a character is that he wants to be happy-go-lucky, but isn't very good at it. Hence in the scene with the lion cub in the cage, he cares, even though he doesn't want to.
@TheGreenified I think it's portrayed very well. When people fall in love, they change. Fiyero becomes a little more serious and Elphie softens a little. I love her little shy giggle at 1:55 x
Went to see Wicked a week ago, and had to go again, so went twice in a week. Just cant get enough of her voice and superb performance! Would go love to go see it again, just to hear her sing! It gives me goosebumps!
The most beautiful witch I've ever seen(my apologizes to all the other witches out there)Watching Rachel now on ID DO ANYTHING...and I know she doesn't win :(
Rachel Tucker is so beautiful, in every sense of the word. her laugh at 1:55 is so lovely, everytime i watch it i cant help but smile, i love her, she is absolutly gorgeous. Can't wait till i see her again.
it's really funny hearing this in an english accent again because i've been listening to the broadway ones with Idina menzel and kristin chenoweth. I went and saw these two in London last weekend and they were awesome but i think i forgot until i watched this :D
@dell141 yeah, and it's amazing cause rachel doesn't even have an english accent-she's irish & puts on the accent, but it sounds so believable! & i agree, they are SO awesome :)
SOOO JEALOUS OF ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE SEEN/WILL SEE RACHEL AND LEE!!!!!! You Brits better give them a standing ovation each nite!!! On behalf of all Americans who wish they were British, these two are a great follow up to Kerry and Oliver, if not better!
When I saw wicked at the London Apollo on the 13th of this month I thought I wish I could be acting elphaba on stage kissing him. My mum said he had a nice bum and legs in his skin tight trousers. I was looking somewhere else when he was in them ;) lol. I love Lee -3
You can't see the angles on his face, but Lee does act beautifully. I can see from this performance him touching her, holding her close and cupping her face. That's doing something! Rachel AND Lee are both brilliant in this performance.
That was fantastic. I've wanted to see wicked since I was 12 years old, but now Lee and Rachel are in it I was like right, i want to go so bad. After seeing just a small segment of wicked with rachel and lee, the whole show has GOT to be breath taking. I need to go so badly!
My two favourite people performing together :) Rachel is just incredible- I love how she's always holding Lee as though she can't believe he loves her. I saw wicked in september- my first west end show! If I could see it every day for the rest of my life I'd be a happy girl. Lee Mead is a babe- they both are! thumbs up if you agree! go elphie! the show has such a wonderful message- no matter who you are, you'll always find love :) thanks so much for posting!! <3 <3 <3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Love this video. Lovely vocals from both Rachel and Lee and they have a nice chemistry together. I particularly like the ending when Rachel says that she feels 'wicked' and Lee throws himself at her as if he can't wait a second longer. Other versions of the duet that I have seen play the scene in a more light-hearted way but I prefer thie more intense approach!
rachel looks gorgeous :) one of the prettiest elphies i've seen. not a big fan of her elphaba but theres not doubt she has a lovely voice :)
although i really dont like lee as fiyero, this is probably the one song that actually suits him and i think he performs this song well. dont like how he doesn't react at all to elphaba saying 'for the first time i feel... wicked'. think it'd be better if he acted the song a bit more but he sings it well enough.
@Sam4God from the camera angle you don't get to see Lee face when Rachel is singing so it's hard to see what he's doing. All the way through the song he's holding her, kissing her and touching her.. when she says she feels Wicked he goes straight in for a passionate kiss, as somebody else on here has said, it's as if he can't wait any longer. I totally agee with you about Rachel's voice it's lovely. I think she is a fabulous Elphie :)
amazing! I was lucky enough to see the original broadway cast of Wicked, and lee is an awesome Fiyero! I really hope I can make it up to the uk in time to see him in this show.
From an acting point of view that out of this world. The chemistry, the emotion conveyed and the singing - w.o.w. Good representive of west end at the moment.
So emotional and i agree with others that it was nice to see her hold it back, as i've seen her preform in wicked twice where she belts (although tht is still amazing.)
As for lee - didn't like him either time but he kind of made it up abit in this preformance!! :)
Thank you so much for posting! Brings back some wonderful memories of my Wicked birthday weekend, just to weeks ago! Lee and Rachel are a musical match made in West End Heaven! Aamna Dahlia x
Omg Omg Omg, thank you soooo much for uploading this, i was really mad I couldn't see it 'cause we don't have ITV 1 in Belgium. I love her cute little laughs, she acts it so well, it's almost like she just ís Elphaba. Perfect voice! Lee did better when I saw it though, but still perfect!
If you are a fan of Rachel Tucker and her breathtaking performances in Wicked, you can vote for her in the ‘Best Leading Actress in a Musical’ category in the Broadway World UK Awards. Google 'Rachel Tucker fan blog' and click link there to vote. Many thanks unidan82 for posting this clip. It’s only 6 weeks since I last saw the show and I’m desperate to see it again soon! Thanks Jessica
i love rachel iv seen her and her understudy annd there both fab, iv seen lee to ohe seems to hold back when he sings this song hesa good fiyero and iv seen him get better but hes still not as good as he could be i dont think =[ but these two together ....cute =D
I couldn't stop watching this! I love how Rachel portray her character. It's so true and beautiful! I've see her twice and she's absolutely stunning! Great chemistry with Lee here!
Aww...thatnk for the upload! They did it lovely....She was holding the volume back though...on stage she really belts that number out! Amazing affect....but it was nice to see that she can bring it in a little and still be fantastic! (Or oztastic maybe?? hehe) xx
@unidan82 I know! In that way she kind of reminds me of Idina Menzel, though they ae very different performers, but both their soft voices and head voices are just to die for... Really enjoy Rachel. Great actress and singer.

I've seen them do this song onstage on stage. Both pretty good. On this video Rachel's acting was betteroveralll though. Lee sounded a bit nasal. Cold maybe?
@MajorThud I no what you mean! I mean, i always knew that they did have 'reltions' theers are only two version that i actually believed, this one and the video of stephanie j block with sebastian :)
@MajorThud lol yeah, that's what the whole "I'll wake up my body" line is there for. it's kind of an innuendo, since they did have relations in the book but they couldn't really show that on stage
Brilliant! Thanks for this. Couldn't see the show. :)
Wicked seems a much better showcase for Lee than Joseph was. I love Joseph, but I guess it wasn't much of a challenge for him. He's got some great vocals in this, though.
Yay this was filmed on my birthday :D

I see your point but at the same time, this is a tiny section of the show taken completely out of context.
I like the little laugh it shows a softer side to Elphaba in that she's a bit bashful and shy of male attention.
Also, the seriousness of Fiyero is shown in this song showing the other side to his character.
They can't just be one dimensional that would predictable and boring.

That was fantastic. I've wanted to see wicked since I was 12 years old, but now Lee and Rachel are in it I was like right, i want to go so bad. After seeing just a small segment of wicked with rachel and lee, the whole show has GOT to be breath taking. I need to go so badly!

My two favourite people performing together :) Rachel is just incredible- I love how she's always holding Lee as though she can't believe he loves her. I saw wicked in september- my first west end show! If I could see it every day for the rest of my life I'd be a happy girl. Lee Mead is a babe- they both are! thumbs up if you agree! go elphie! the show has such a wonderful message- no matter who you are, you'll always find love :) thanks so much for posting!! <3 <3 <3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Love this video. Lovely vocals from both Rachel and Lee and they have a nice chemistry together. I particularly like the ending when Rachel says that she feels 'wicked' and Lee throws himself at her as if he can't wait a second longer. Other versions of the duet that I have seen play the scene in a more light-hearted way but I prefer thie more intense approach!

Rachel is THE star in this video. She is acting whether she's singing or not. when he's not singing he does nothing but gawp.

rachel looks gorgeous :) one of the prettiest elphies i've seen. not a big fan of her elphaba but theres not doubt she has a lovely voice :)
although i really dont like lee as fiyero, this is probably the one song that actually suits him and i think he performs this song well. dont like how he doesn't react at all to elphaba saying 'for the first time i feel... wicked'. think it'd be better if he acted the song a bit more but he sings it well enough.
great performance

@Sam4God from the camera angle you don't get to see Lee face when Rachel is singing so it's hard to see what he's doing. All the way through the song he's holding her, kissing her and touching her.. when she says she feels Wicked he goes straight in for a passionate kiss, as somebody else on here has said, it's as if he can't wait any longer. I totally agee with you about Rachel's voice it's lovely. I think she is a fabulous Elphie :)

So emotional and i agree with others that it was nice to see her hold it back, as i've seen her preform in wicked twice where she belts (although tht is still amazing.)
As for lee - didn't like him either time but he kind of made it up abit in this preformance!! :)

Omg Omg Omg, thank you soooo much for uploading this, i was really mad I couldn't see it 'cause we don't have ITV 1 in Belgium. I love her cute little laughs, she acts it so well, it's almost like she just ís Elphaba. Perfect voice! Lee did better when I saw it though, but still perfect!

@pipermaru2006
completely agree with you, both her belt and her soft voice are stunning and everything in between :)
although... when i last saw Wicked Rachel switched to head voice for the last note of "holding you-oo-oo-oo-OOh" and it was truly beautiful
unidan82 1 year ago 5
@unidan82 I know! In that way she kind of reminds me of Idina Menzel, though they ae very different performers, but both their soft voices and head voices are just to die for... Really enjoy Rachel. Great actress and singer.

@MajorThud lol yeah, that's what the whole "I'll wake up my body" line is there for. it's kind of an innuendo, since they did have relations in the book but they couldn't really show that on stage

Wicked seems a much better showcase for Lee than Joseph was. I love Joseph, but I guess it wasn't much of a challenge for him. He's got some great vocals in this, though.
