Willemijn Verkaik taking over as Elphaba Feb 14

Heard a few recordings of Willemijn's opening night and as far as I can remeber it was the first time I could hear in her voice she was tense. Yes, she has done the part more than a thousand times but it's Broadway we're talking about... I bet every other stage actor was nervous during their Broadway debut - "Broadway" comes with a lot of pressure I think. :)
Based on the few songs I've heard I think she has done very well... And now opening night is done she can relax and make sure everybody will agree she's (one of) the best ever to have played Elphaba.
Please go and see her. Enjoy. You won't regret it.
