    I adore Barrett. Absolutely adore her. She's one of my performance idols. But. She. Needs. A. Good. Six. Moths. Of. Vocal. Rest. She has since she finished Heathers. Doing Heathers was a huge strain on her voice, and even in Mean Girls, it didn't quite have the same quality that her voice had when doing Heathers. She could play a perfect Elphaba. But that's only going to even be slightly plausible if she takes awhile to let her voice rest instead of straining it with another show. I really hope she does, she would really, really benefit from it, and I would LOVE to see her as Elphaba.

    For everyone who is attacking Barrett for her performance of defying gravity: First of all, this song is going to sound weird with just a piano regardless of who's singing it, it was written to be accompanied with full orchestration. Second of all, Barrett is singing on Broadway 8 times a week which means: a- Her voice is not at its full capacity as it is constantly being pushed. Singing on Broadway 8 times a week takes a tall on your voice eventually no matter how good of a singer you are, it even did it to the OG Elphie herself, Indina Menzel. And B- She clearly doesn't have time to properly prepare for such a song, being currently on Broadway and everything. I am sure the song is in her rep book, but it doesn't mean that she has it polished and ready to go at all times. Defying gravity is one of the hardest songs on Broadway, and Elphabas usually take weeks to master it. All that being said and considered, she still did a good job at this, we should be glad she made time out of her schedule to film something like this for us her fans, not bash her for this. No one is 100% and anyone who has experience with performance can tell you that having "down" performances is simply inevitable. I love Barrett and I would love to see her as Elphie, once she's well rested and has had enough time to work more on this song.

    Sometimes singers have "bad" days. (Yes this wasn't her best performance but she didn't suck) That's life. But we've all seen the Heathers bootleg and know how amazing she is. Also I think she would be perfect for the role as the big Hollywood producers usually want somebody with a bigger following to star in a movie musical. She has a good sized fanbase so that's good for them but she's also a Broadway professional which would make us theatre lovers happy :)

    Maybe if she gets with a vocal coach that knows what they’re doing and can help her strengthen her voice to those high notes bc yeesh... not good. She would lose her voice if she sang a score such as Elphabas, with her poor technique, 8 times a week. She has a good voice and a fantastic head voice, but her belting just sounds unhealthy and inconsistent and painful truthfully. I can’t imagine her throat doesn’t hurt after a night of Mean Girls bc she has some belty moments there too.

    I think defying gravity seems a little off because she's singing very powerfully without the other instruments to back her up. Just my opinion but wanted to know if the piano is the reason everyones hearing it differently?

    Imogen C I love her but defying gravity wasn’t fantastic, I think it might’ve been partially the mic/eq-ing. Like when she gets louder there’s almost no adjustment for it. Also the piano doesn’t get louder w her and is really quiet to begin with. Idk they all sound a lil wonky to me but I think it’s just the setup and the fact that you can barely hear the piano, idk much about that stuff though

    That's why there are warnings in the playbill abt themes and content (loud noises, flashing lights). Legally, they always have to put those warnings. The main reason it won't go to Broadway is seating. There was always enough seating in the Off-Broadway stages for Heathers, so there was no need to bring it to Broadway. Just because the online fanbase was huge, doesn't mean that it was going to go to Broadway because the fact of the matter is that the online fanbase wouldn't have gone to see it on Broadway anyways for whatever reason. ^at least that's what my theatre professor told me. Shows go to Broadway for more seating demand.
