Big Aaron Tveit, my God this guy is such a giant!
He's looking at her like an insect.
I miss the power. How can you fly away on your broomstick when the song is so tamed.

After being such a fan of the original arrangement this version makes my brain itch. 😂 I'm sure I would love it if I had heard this first, but I didn't.
Does anyone know if there is sheet music for this arrangement?
Rachel Tucker's powerful vocals paired with Aaron Tveit's sensational performance create a magical and mesmerizing experience. The chemistry between them is electric, and they truly do justice to this iconic song.

Both beautiful singers obviously, but this song just doesn't make sense to me as a duet. The whole point is that she's striking out alone.
Rachel Tucker will always be my Elphaba
Their connection is palpable. Harmonies are exquisite! And how about that pianist!
Their voices are brighter than my future.
nope
Two beautiful voices that mesh as one
Is there backing track for this?
This beautiful song is like a goldmine. The deeper you dig, the more gold you find. These two sublimely talented "miners" have struck the motherlode!
So pretty!!!
How was Rachel Tucker able to sing and remeber the lyrics with Aaron looking at her like this? 😍
This is sound like a song that Grindewald and Dumbledore can sing together too.
Aaron is amazing!!!
Okay this is my new favourite version of this song
Exceptional vocals. Truly gorgeous. Just incredible. One of my top ten musicals.
Do these 2 backing vocalists really know the Musical WICKED !!? 😳 Their version of this beautiful song sucks 👎🏻
Well, the hardcore Wicked fans are definitely going to flay me on this but I actually prefer this version to the original, especially outside of the context of the show… It doesn't convey the right emotion Elphaba needs to express at this point in the story but it's the one song i've always found ever so slightly dissonant. I appreciate the vocal mastery the original requires but it's never hit me like it's meant to and this version I find absolutely incredible. This I could listen to on repeat.
This has been and always will be ~the vibe~
Che Meraviglia.
