Question: Wicked the musical: who is the best elphaba anywhere!?
idina menzel is awesome, so is kerry ellis and stephanie j block!. do you agree!? who is your fave!? oh and what is your favorite song!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Personally, I say Willemijn Verkaik is the best Elphaba!. She's the Elphaba in Germany, but German isn't even her first language!. It's Dutch!.That's akin to Idina Menzel doing Wicked in Spanish!. She's absolutely amazing!. And she's fluent in English as well!.

Wicked: Die Hexen Von Oz (the witches of Oz) on 'Wetten Das!?!?!?'
Elphaba: Willemijn Verkaik
Glinda: Lucy Scherer
Songs: Nur Ein Tag (one short day) and Frei und Schwerelos (defying gravity)

My favorite is Teal Wicks, but I love Eden Espinosa, Carmen Cusack, Dee Roscioli, Kerry Ellis, SJB, Amanda Harrison, Megumi Hamada, Ana Gasteyer, Julie Reiber, Julia Murney, Kristy Cates, and all the rest of them!.

My favorite song switches depending on my mood!. The Wizard and I, What is this Feeling!?, I'm Not That Girl, Defying Gravity, The Wicked Witch of the East, Dancing Through Life, As Long As You're Mine, No Good Deed, For Good, Popular, etc!. Right now I'm going around my house singing No Good Deed!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I loveddd Dee Roscoli!. She was soo good!. I didn't think Idina Menzel was that good!. To me, she wasn't right for the part!. also, she didn't really get that connection to the songs that help you to be able to sing them better!. Shes a terrible actress too!. My favorite song!? I liked For Good!. It was so cute and it really does show that friends change a person!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I really think Idina Menzel was the best she created Elphaba and brought her to life!.
I thought Kerry Ellis was much more suited to her role in We Will Rock You then Ephie!.
When Kristin and Idina were together I though it was magic-and thats what Wicked's all about!
Idina's a real inspiration and true natrual preformer so to me there's no competition!.
Well Defying Gravity is the climax and the vocals there wow!
But Popular it makes me laugh so much its argueably the best piece of Musical Theatre we have seen in years!.
For Good is very moving and is nice allround!.
The dancing in One Short Day!.
And the emotion in I'm Not that girl!.
I can't choose!
And What is this Feeling-I had to add that as its so great!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would have to say in chicago when Kristy Kates was elphaba was the best elphaba!. She Gave that role her all!. She is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ? elphaba! my favorite song from wicked!? For Good! that song is for me and my buds! We know so many things about each other we Have to be friends! otherwise some MAJOR secrets would be released! yea the musical is AMAZING! i hope i helped!?!?!? no i hope u like my opinion!
