"Popular' from WICKED the Musical
Ойын-сауық
For information about WICKED, visit us at: www.wickedthemusical.com
So much happened before Dorothy dropped in.
WICKED, the Broadway sensation, looks at what happened in the Land of Oz…but from a different angle. Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another young woman born with emerald-green skin-smart, fiery, misunderstood, and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships…until the world decides to call one “good,” and the other one “wicked.”
With a thrilling score that includes the hits “Defying Gravity,” “Popular” and “For Good,” WICKED has been hailed by The New York Times as “the defining musical of the decade.” Time Magazine cheers, “if every musical had the brain, the heart, and the courage of WICKED, Broadway really would be a magical place.”
The Gershwin Theatre on 50th Street and Broadway is that magical place. From the first electrifying note to the final breathtaking moment, WICKED-the untold true story of the Witches of Oz-transfixes audiences with its wildly inventive story. It will send your spirits soaring to heights you’ll never forget.

I love that they gave Britney a proshot version of her Popular, she's really grown into the character since becoming lead.

This looks like an early performance in her run, isn't that Lindsey as Elphaba? By the time I saw her perform with Talia she was even better - my favorite Glinda!

I don't think its the same girl that I saw last week in st pete because the girl I saw portraying Galinda, absolutely killed it. Especially compared to her.
The fact this Glinda looks like she is actually having fun!! Trying not to laugh at herself but making others laugh that’s what I love about musicals

Her delivery of “pink goes good with green” 😂😂😂😂😂
Brittney genuinely shines a new light on Glinda I haven't really seen done by other actresses (to be fair, I'm just comparing bootleg to bootleg #brokeandnotamerican). She presents a more "casual" and realistic air to Glinda; a wealthy university student who is actually quite aware of how the world works - hence placing more emphasis on lyrics in the song "did they have brains or knowledge, don't make me laugh they were popular." I love almost every rendition of Glinda that currently exists honestly. Each person brings their own interpretation - whether it is making her voice more shrilly, making her ditzy or incredibly silly. But I think Brittney's version (I am very unlucky to live in another part of the world and therefore probably never see Brittney Johnson performing the entire musical in her full glory) brings Glinda down to earth and probably makes the conflict Glinda feels in Act 2 much more powerful. GOSH I really wish I could see a full performance from these two - or even in the Wicked movie (looking at you Grande)

I love that everytime they cast a POC there's always people praising them like they are the best version of the character just to be PC. -No, I thought she was casted for her talent alone but this is the worst version I've seen of Popular. She couldn't even do the final note correctly. I was totally looking forward to her but she is just too bad. Go watch the mexican version instead, that's how you do Glinda.

This video was released a day before I saw the show live and I can confirm that Brittany’s portrayal of Glinda is as amazing as it is here. She really did an excellent job making the character her own and she’s absolutely incredible at being preppy without making it too “cringy”. She’s probably my favorite portrayal of Glinda and I heavily encourage people see her before she leaves in February.

That's because it's broadway acting. Actors give their 110% and need to make lots of gestures with their body to express emotion because you know the people in the back won't see their face. There's no over the top on broadway, unless they're screaming and making frantic movements. That's my opinion, anyways.

commented something similar like this before somewhere, but i LOVE brittney as glinda so much. she brings such a new, realistic air to the character. with her, its easy to feel like shes a REAL person who genuinely believes the things shes saying instead of being a caricature of a ditzy blonde. dont get me wrong, i LOVE it when glinda's really ham it up during this number, but i love how she acts like a real person who is unintentionally funny here and there without realising it. she really is great

One thing I loved about Brittney’s Glinda is that she didn’t overdo the perkiness like the other actresses (besides Kristen Chenoweth) did. She put a bit more attitude into this. I was so glad to catch a showing last October.
If it wasn’t for the movie(s) they’re currently working on I’m sure we would’ve gotten a proshot with Britney as Galinda. She’s amazing and historic!

Absolutely love this performance of 'Popular' from WICKED! 🌟💚 It's amazing how the musical reimagines the story of Oz from a fresh perspective, showing us the complexities of friendship, rivalry, and acceptance. The energy and talent on display here are just phenomenal! Can't get enough of those catchy tunes and incredible vocals. WICKED truly is a magical experience that leaves a lasting impression.
She does it really well, bar a few awkward moments. One of my fave Glinda’s
She is a great glinda I love this. Lots of unique personality.
I’ve seen it on Broadway once and a ton of performances on KZread and this has to be my favorite. She’s comedically very talented.
I saw this live this October it was one of the most amazing experiences!
Out of all the versions that I have seen...This is by far my favorite.❤
How do they sing that time after time without bursting into laughter😂
I LOVE HER VOICE SO MUCHHHH
I love how much energy she has in this role. And she is just beaming with enthuseasm the whole time. The performance is really convincing and it sounds just like a bubbly girl prattleing on (in a good way). Great job! Also the jumping in heels was awsome

Been waiting for a good shot of this by Britney, I love her version best. I may be biased because I saw it live with her, but I really think she is the best one.

I prefer this version then the normal singer, she really brings soul to her, as when the old actor felt more like she was reading out loud in an awkward dress instead of being.. popular💅
She’s the Glinda I saw! So good!
she is so good
I really hope the lighting looks better in real life. Here Brittney’s skin looks the same shade of golden yellow as her hair, which probably wasn’t the intention. Obviously the original lighting design had Kristin Chenowith in mind, but would it really be too much of a problem to adjust the lighting for actors of color, so they look like their actual skin tone and not like the bronze-painted actors from the og West Side Story movie? I know other things would be affected like sets and costumes, but I’m sure there are ways of working around it.
