Hi!

It's been a while since my last upload, which I apologize.
I've been working on this video for the last few months and editing it till last minute.
The time for "research" has left me completely burned out (yet again!). I watched countless and countless of clips, but the feeling I felt (what a way with words)
once it was over was soo gratifing. Thank you all for staying by these pasts few months
and thank you for the ppl looking forward to it that commented "when is part 2 coming on??" lol!
That gave the boost I needed to finish it up when I gave up on this. Which, was lots of times..
And I was in a constant loop with the video, where I would edit a bit and felt extremely tired mentally BUT I couldn't leave it out in a draft or something like that.
I also couldn't bear to edit another thing because I felt I was "cheating" in a way.
But enough of feeling pity for myself!

It's the start of 2023 and I now hope to move forward with the channel and be *more* consistent with the uploads, hopefully.

Love you! 💜💚

Moral of the story: You can do whatever you want with Defying Gravity as long as you end in a C#5

saycon’s riff at 4:49 is so smooth and divine 🥰

[sergiomolina]

I honestly can't imagine what it's like getting to play Elphaba. Like just getting to lift up to the air and belting your face off while looking into the audience being in awe, it must be amazing 👏 💚

4:03 RACHEL'S TONE IS SO COMMANDING ESPECIALLY ON THE "HAAAAIGHHH"

[kwaziness]

1:44 i love kerry's timing on "flyyyANG" it's so subtle but so cool

12:12 She is the second elphaba from Mexico. In Mexico there were 2 shows a day, one was Danna Paola and the other was Ana Cecilia.

[freddysalas]

20:15 OMGGGG I LOVE YOUUU DANNA YOU ARE THE BEST

[Agustindem]

16:30 the transition there cured my depression

[maicon.]

OMG... I'm without words... you're an artist! I can only imagine how much work did you have with it... THANK YOU!!!
And I'm so excited, for Wicked is retrurning to Brazil this march!!!! We'll have Myra Ruyz again, and new Elphabas too!

I love Park Hye-Na riffs so much
😍😍😍💚💚🧹💚💚😍😍😍
And I like all of them too

[sundstrulycrazy]

A few thoughts:
1. Kristy Bates lol
2. I wish you included Ana Gasreyer in the battle cry section
3. I regularly question how the MD let Alice Fearn got away with her riffing
4. I appreciate that you closed it out with Vosk’s ridiculous riff at the end lol

Great job! I love these videos

[Sixtheatre]

0:48 That note was SO clean! I love Jessica! Also at 1:53 is that video still on YouTube? I really miss it

[claudiabailey]

I have total respect for all these ladies. Going out night after night and doing this is not easy.

[michaelstyer]

Some of these are literally unreal. 5:08 literally had me lose my mind

[sergiomolina]

I can't wait to see what Cynthia Erivo does for the movie! 😩💚

[Nyx_Room]

Gasp, I LOVE this much. Just what needed! Thank you!

[kwaziness]

6:35 JULIA'S "briiiNGGG MEEEE

[wickedeveryday]

I’ve been waiting for the day one of my masters has shown up in one of your videos and I feel like I’ve made it now💚

[Nope-jlrs]

I feel so blessed that I saw Willemijn and Sabrina Weckerlin in person
