Oh wow, the best video came out last week! The original leads from the musical Wicked, Kristin Chenoweth (Glinda) and Idina Menzel (Elphaba), re-recorded their iconic second act duet For Good. If possible, this might even be better than the original! I am, of course, moved to tears. Not only is this a beautiful part of the show, the song itself reminds me of many sweet and wonderful students who have picked pieces from this show. And then… sniff!… we usually sing this at final lessons before university departures… someone bring me a tissue! Each student really does change a teacher for good. With love, light, and song… ~Melissa~
Listen here: For Good * by Stephen Schwartz * from the musical Wicked (2003)
Wow. What a powerful song. Thank you for sharing and for telling a little bit about your history with the song. Your students are so lucky to have you!
Awwww thanks! And yes, it’s really powerful. Especially when sung by these two powerhouses!
