I think actually their different accents in this contribute to their character roles - showing how different they are = Galinda - the posh Upland, and Elphaba the more rugged Munchkinlander!

A lot of people seem to not like the different accents, but I actually feel like it was a really simple and convenient way to both cut back pre opening rehearsal time and thematically emphasize the otherness of Elphaba

Sometimes I watch this just to remind myself that Idina got to do an American accent in the West End production just because.
@elizawildes87339 жыл бұрын
Well yeah, but other people who have not only american accents but irish, or scottish or even a different english accent from the one the choose for the show had to talk differently from their natural accent. But idina got to be american because she's idina menzel
@ericmorgan479 жыл бұрын
Eliza NoYouCan'tSeeMyRealLastName Number one, she chose to have an american accent, she still has to follow rules! If the producers in London said to her, "You have to have a British accent, she would proabaly have a British accent! Just because she is Idina does not mean she doesn't have too follow rules, she doesn't get to bend them either! Yes she is a huge success, but in no way does that mean she gets to act anyway she wants!
@Gobble-zc3kc6 жыл бұрын
She couldn’t hold it up, she tried in rehearsals to put on an English accent and it didn’t work so they said she didn’t have to put one on
@ellie19816 жыл бұрын
I saw it five times in London with Idina. The accent difference really didn’t matter because it added to Elphaba being different from all the others. The original West End Boq was Scottish and used his own accent too.
@elizawildes87333 жыл бұрын
@Whiz And Friends I was saying it as a turn of phrase. Normally all Elphabas in the West End Production do an English accent., Idina was the exception. And while there are many rumors floating around as to the way she was given this privilege, I think it has more to do with the fact she originated the role and got a Tony for it, more than anything else. So yeah, she gets to do it just because she's Idina, and the production will probably never let anyone else do that

it's for a charity tv programme called 'children in need' in britain. it happens every year to raise lots of money for deprived children around the world, people phone in and donate money, and in return, they throw a big long tv programme that lasts all night and lots of musicals and singers and comedians perform :)

Idina was wonderful as always, and taking into account her accent, I thought Annalene did a fine job. I agree that this musical was not made for an English accent, but they rolled with it and made it better than I was expecting with all these comments about it.
