I'm sure when somebody has something, it will be posted on the YT site.

Dont count on it! Far less material is shot in London or at least circulated....

Although I have no idea what you were talking about there

I am seeing it next week but seem to recall a friend saying she skips the high E in No One Mourns the Wicked but he could be very wrong! ((even though he is a working actor he seems to lack the slavish Seth-like attention to musical notes that I have!)

Its also unlikely to be like any other Glinda as she had supposedly reimagined the role....

She doesn't hit all the notes that Kristin did. But she doesn't attempt to, so that's fair - I would hate if she tried to and missed. Her voice is good, but I think she's stronger at belting than she is in her soprano range - her "I Couldn't Be Happier" was my highlight from her, especially her hilarious "Evita" reference at the beginning. Occasionally her voice sounds a little too Miss Adelaide for my liking - I was SO unsurprised to see that Miss Adelaide was her first professional role!

She's a very good actress, and a good singer, but I wasn't left thinking "WOW, that girl can sing!" I was much more taken with the way she acted the role. It's very different to Kristin, not better, just different. The scene near the beginning with the two girls at the ball was really touching.

There is no Wicked London cast recording. Or soundtrack. They've just released the Broadway version with the London artwork - the only difference is that as it's no longer an import it's slightly cheaper...
