Sometimes a performance feels like more than just a song, it feels like a sneak peek into the future. That’s precisely what happened when Darci Lynne brought out her puppet Petunia to perform Popular from Wicked. With Petunia dressed in a sparkling pink gown and Darci playing the quiet and green-faced Elphaba, the stage came alive in a way fans could not stop talking about.
The performance was a mix of comedy, talent and Broadway-level magic. Petunia sang with the sparkle of Glinda, hitting every bright, playful note, while Darci never moved her lips. Instead she acted through tiny expressions, reacting shyly as Elphaba to Petunia’s over-the-top “lessons in popularity.” It wasn’t just ventriloquism; it was theater, timing and pure showmanship rolled into one.

The crowd and online fans were blown away. Many said they had to watch twice to believe Darci’s mouth never moved. Comments flooded in calling it “Broadway ready” and “the best ventriloquist act ever.” Some even said they could picture Darci on the actual Wicked stage one day, sharing the spotlight with the theater’s biggest names.
And this wasn’t just a one-time spark. Darci’s gift for blending voice and emotion shines across her performances. If Popular showed her playful side then her cover of Summertime revealed something more profound. With a slow haunting melody, Darci let her voice carry the weight of the classic tune, proving she could go from Broadway brightness to soulful jazz in an instant.
