I think you defined it perfectly. Idina was screaming instead of singing. Your question only has one asnwer: Idina Menzel. No other Elphaba screams at the end, they sing.
Please no one else respond to this thread. Just let it die!

Sorry, but gotta say that Eden screams it too.

Eden did scream it.
I think screaming the last note(s) works, since she's a witch and she's yelling her Elphie War Cry, as I like to call it. But from a performer's perspective, I do not advocate it as it can take a toll on the voice.
I love Shoshana Bean's little riff at the end. I get chills.

No, it's definitely supposed to be sung. It's notated as an eigth note Db pick-up, to 4 sixteenth notes (F, Eb, Db, Eb) and then the held Db.

I love shoshana riffs the best, but I think she's too pretty for the moment in the story....i think eden's "war cries" sound most accurate as to how they SHOULD sound, imo.
awkward.

all i have to say is you can't blame idina for the tonys...she was probably trying to hard as to impress all the other actors or something...but when i saw her it sounded exactly like the cd, so idk...each time i have heard a live recording the end has sucked, but when i saw it it was amazing...

Jan 2 live audio (and I was there) sounded awesome.
I was at the Tony's and it was a lot worse than on TV. But I love her ne'ertheless.
I think we know who my favorite is!
