Defying Gravity - performed by Patrice Tipoki

The phenomenal Patrice Tipoki performs 'Defying Gravity' on April 7th, 2010. Patrice portrays such a sweet and hopeful Elphaba during Act One and throughout the entire show she truly committed to a vocal performance that was out of this world! Just wait until the end of this song - she did things to this song I'd never heard done before. Amazing!

WOW did not see that coming. Very different...gotta give it to her for even attempting something that insane. Well done...and that last note is just beautiful.

[musicalgateway]

@ifreakingloveSJB yeah I know, unexpected - I've never heard anyone else even attempt that in Defying Gravity. She holds her notes beautifully.

Holy high note...

5:41 Did i really just hear that?

Damn this bitch does it well. Why isnt she alternating instead of that speak singing bitch Pippa

@musicalgateway Mariand Torres from one of the US National Tours has attempted to do this.

i think she did that at my show... the first time i saw wicked i have jemma (who i was told was better) and then the second time i had patrice (going in being disappointed because everyone i knew said she was crap) but then im pretty sure se pulled something like this off in defying gravity because i remember during the intermission i was like ahh shit she's good :) but yes i went to her 2nd or 3rd last show and she was riffing all the way through :) it was awesome

@pixelated111 they alternate shows.

[pixelated111]

I'm confused...so does Jemma Rix usually play this role?When does patrice play this role usually?

[BenMuzzy]

@gezbez i agree with you there BUT you said jemma isnt known for hitting the note...and she is because people say about her singing all the time how she is the only one who hits the note the proper way with out riffing so she is known about that note!
