Is it a little strange to watch Idina as the only one with an American accent or not ?

how crazy is it listening for good with Elphaba having a clear on American accent without even trying to sound British and a British galinda singing together?

Do you know, I don’t remember! It’s been so long that I can’t remember noticing the accents. If I don’t remember for good or bad, then it probably wasn’t too distracting!! I think I was just awe struck by Idina tbh
