Ana Gasteyer on Entertainment Tonight

Thanks! I can't get the clip to play, though! I'll keep on trying...

Ana is a stellar Elphaba. She brings a depth of character to the part that I haven't seen with other actresses in the role. Her Elphaba is very bitter, angry, and sarcastic. Plus, she has unparalleled comedic timing in the part-- she knows how to bring the funny without making Elphaba a "comic" character. With vocal chops to boot, she was the most well-rounded performer I have had the pleasure to see in the part.
